1. Connect the C.D. clamp with the red insulator to the (+) terminal of the battery.

2. Connect the C.D. clamp with the black insulator to the (-) terminal of the battery.

3. Insert the plug into the mains socket. Switch on the POWER switch.

ATTENTION!

The device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lacking experience and knowledge unless they are supervised or instructed regarding the use of the device by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to prevent playing with the device.

PURPOSE

The primary purpose of the charger (C.D.) is automatic charging of storage batteries (S.B.) of the following types:

6-volt lead-acid S.B.
12-volt lead-acid S.B. in buffer mode
12-volt lead-acid marine and traction S.B.
12-volt lead-acid automotive S.B.
12-volt alkaline S.B.
Sealed lead-acid S.B.
Of any capacity, including fully discharged (down to zero).

In automatic mode, the device monitors and limits the voltage on the S.B. being charged, preventing intensive gas generation (boiling) and overcharging of the S.B. Therefore, the device can be used to charge modern maintenance-free batteries and does not require disconnecting the S.B. being charged from the vehicle’s on-board network.

It is also possible to use the charger in non-automatic mode for charging storage batteries of any electrochemical system with a maximum end-of-charge voltage below 18 V.

The C.D. Vympel-55 allows you to adjust the charging current, adjust the voltage and select the charging algorithm, and to save the set parameters in profiles for convenient quick switching when charging different types of batteries.

Additionally, the charger can be used as a multi-purpose DC power source for powering automotive equipment, power tools, halogen lamps, and other devices and instruments.

The automatic charger is designed for indoor use only, degree of water protection IP standard (Ingress Protection rating) IP20.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

DEVICE DESIGN

Structurally, the charger is made in a plastic housing with ventilation louvers.

The mains cord and output leads with clamps are placed in the rear compartment of the housing.

The front panel includes:

1 – liquid-crystal indicator with backlight
2 – control buttons ˂ / ˃
3 – navigation and settings buttons ˄ / ˅
4 – mains switch

The electronic circuit of the charger is a push-pull high-voltage high-frequency converter with pulse-width modulation, featuring a control circuit with two feedback loops for output current and voltage. This power section design ensures high efficiency over a wide input voltage range, nearly ideal output characteristics of a current generator and a voltage generator, reliable galvanic isolation, as well as high specific mass-dimensional and power characteristics.

A graphic liquid-crystal indicator with backlight is used to display the charging current and voltage. To protect the power section from overheating, a micro-fan and an output current limiting circuit are employed. This circuit automatically reduces the output current when the internal temperature rises above normal. When the normal temperature is restored, the current adjustment range is restored.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Before starting operation of the C.D., read this manual as well as the rules for care and operation of S.B. Before connecting the device to the mains, make sure that the insulation of the mains cord is intact (no damage). Do not allow chemically active liquids (gasoline, acid, etc.) or water to contact the C.D. housing and mains cord or the C.D. output leads. During charging, the S.B. must be placed in a well-ventilated area. The gases and acid aerosol emitted by the S.B. must not be directed toward the C.D., its output leads, or its mains cord.

ATTENTION!!! Although the Vympel-55 charger user guide does not require your participation during charging of the accumulator, leaving the connected C.D. unattended is unacceptable, as with any complex equipment, especially when powered from a garage electrical network.

FUNCTIONAL CHECK

Remove the leads. Make sure the housing is free of mechanical damage and the insulation of the wires is intact.

To check C.D. operability without a storage battery, connect it to the AC mains. The output terminals must be open.

Switch on the “Power” switch. Make sure the “Power” switch LED indicator is lit.

Verify that a profile with algorithm 1 is selected, the voltage is within 12–16 V, and the current within 8–15 A.

Short the output clamps or, for clarity, connect a 55–110 W automotive incandescent lamp to them; make sure the current and voltage readings change and the lamp lights.

To check fan operation, set the current to at least 11.5 A, short the terminals and make sure the fan operates.

Attention! The micro-fan turns on automatically when the internal temperature rises or the current exceeds 11 A. In short-circuit mode (output terminals shorted together) slight humming or noise is possible.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

CHARGING A STORAGE BATTERY IN AUTOMATIC MODE

If the ORION Vympel-55 charger has a profile selected with charging parameters corresponding to the battery type being charged, proceed to connection and charging of the S.B.

Profile selection and configuration

(The C.D. must be disconnected from the battery)

1. Connect the Vympel-55 charger user guide device to the AC mains. Switch on the POWER switch.

2. Select a properly configured profile (go to item 7) or modify a profile.

3. Select the charging algorithm (see Fig. 2. Operating graphs of the C.D. when charging lead-acid S.B. in automatic mode).

4. Set the voltage according to the table or the S.B. datasheet.
CHECK THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE END-OF-CHARGE VOLTAGE IN THE STORAGE BATTERY PASSPORT/DATASHEET.

Recommended voltages for automatic charging of various S.B. types:
for 6-volt lead-acid S.B. ............................... 7.5 V
for 12-volt lead-acid S.B. in buffer mode ... 13.8 V
for 12-volt lead-acid marine and traction S.B. ... 14.4 V
for 12-volt lead-acid automotive S.B. .... 14.8–15 V
for 12-volt calcium S.B., e.g., VARTA ............ 16 V
for 12-volt alkaline S.B. ............................. 18 V
for sealed lead-acid S.B. ............. see S.B. passport/datasheet

5. Set the current corresponding to the type and capacity of the battery being charged (common recommendation: 0.1 of the battery capacity).

6. If necessary, set the timer.

7. Disconnect the device from the mains.

Connecting to the battery and charging in automatic mode

Failure to follow the connection order may cause the charging device to fail or an explosion of gases released by the battery. Connect and disconnect the C.D. in accordance with GOST requirement §7.12 — “The battery terminal, IEC 60335-2-29-2012 not connected to the chassis, shall be connected to the charger first; the other connection shall be made to the chassis away from the battery and fuel line; then the battery charger shall be connected to the supply mains. After charging, the battery charger shall be disconnected from the supply mains; then the charger shall be disconnected from the chassis; then — from the battery”.

1. Connect the C.D. clamp with the red insulator to the (+) terminal of the battery.

2. Connect the C.D. clamp with the black insulator to the (-) terminal of the battery.

3. Connect the C.D. to the AC mains. Switch on the POWER switch.

The algorithm starts operating 50 seconds after the indicator is turned on. If necessary, you can restart the charging algorithm; the procedure is described in the section Charger control.

4. Charging the storage battery will proceed in automatic mode with the current set in the profile (Fig. 2, interval II on the graph).

Current change for algorithms 4 and 5 (only for algorithms 4 and 5, Fig. 2, interval III on the graph). When the battery voltage reaches Volt 2, the current changes to Current 2.

Current reduction (Fig. 2, interval IV on the graph). When the S.B. reaches voltage = Volt 1, the current automatically changes according to the selected charging algorithm. The beginning of the reduction of the set current indicates that the battery has reached 75–95% charge. For full topping charge, an additional half-hour to several hours may be required (depending on the type, capacity, and technical condition of the S.B.).

Buffer mode (Fig. 2, interval V on the graph). During the topping charge, the C.D. switches to buffer mode, in which the S.B. self-discharge is compensated by the required charging current.
Spontaneous current decrease at the beginning of charging may indicate sulphation of the S.B. plates. By reducing the current, the C.D. automatically switches to S.B. desulfation mode. Depending on the degree of plate impairment, desulfation may take from several minutes to several hours. During desulfation, the current will gradually and automatically increase to the set value.
The duration of operation in buffer mode is unlimited and even beneficial for used batteries, as after several tens of hours most S.B. improve and restore their key characteristics — Battery internal resistance and Battery capacity.

5. Upon completion of charging, disconnect the C.D. from the mains and remove the clamps. It is recommended to wipe the clamps and leads with a damp, then dry cloth to remove any electrolyte. It is advisable to lubricate the clamps afterwards with any automotive grease to protect against corrosion.

It is advisable to lubricate the clamps afterwards with any automotive grease to protect against corrosion.

Attention! Upon connection or restart of the charging algorithm (interval I on the graph), the C.D. records the voltage and holds the minimum current for 30–60 seconds. All connections must be made during this period. Thereafter, the C.D. operates according to the selected algorithm.

USING THE AUTOMOTIVE CHARGER ORION Vympel-55 AS A MULTI-PURPOSE POWER SUPPLY

The C.D. is a stabilized DC voltage source with limiting (stabilization) of the load current. Therefore, it can be used to power any loads requiring 5.5–18 V with a total current consumption less than the value set on the charger. In case of overload or short circuit of the C.D. output leads, the device will switch to current stabilization mode. To operate as a multi-purpose power supply, select algorithm 1 in the profile settings.

USING THE C.D. AS A PRE-START DEVICE

To facilitate engine start, connect the charger Vympel-55 to the S.B. (see section Charging the S.B. in automatic mode), set the maximum current. In this way, revive the battery for 5–30 minutes, and then, without disconnecting the C.D., start the engine. A battery revived by pre-start charging is capable of delivering a significantly higher current in the first seconds of starter operation. This allows easy overcoming of viscous oil, creating good mixture formation and spark by fast cranking (combustion in a diesel), and in most cases eliminates the need for an expensive starting device; reduced cranking time reduces the load on the S.B., extending its service life. If unsuccessful, repeat the procedure. The manufacturer recommends more powerful models for this purpose (Vympel-30, Vympel-40, Vympel-50, Vympel-55 or several C.D. units connected in parallel).

NON-AUTOMATIC CHARGING MODE

Non-automatic mode is a charging mode in which the S.B. end-of-charge voltage is lower than the voltage the C.D. can produce.

If a profile with charging parameters corresponding to the battery type is selected in the C.D., proceed to connection and charging of the S.B.

Profile selection and configuration

(The C.D. must be disconnected from the battery)

1. Connect the C.D. to the AC mains. Switch on the POWER switch.
2. Select a properly configured profile (go to item 7) or modify a profile.
3. Select the charging algorithm (see Fig. 2. Operating graphs of the C.D. when charging lead-acid S.B. in automatic mode). 4. Set the voltage higher than the maximum permissible for the given battery. 5. Set the current corresponding to the type and capacity of the battery being charged (common recommendation: 0.1 of the battery capacity). 6. If necessary, set the timer. 7. Disconnect the device from the mains.

Connection to the battery and charging in non-automatic mode

Failure to follow the connection order may cause the C.D. to fail or an explosion of gases released by the battery. Connect and disconnect the C.D. in accordance with GOST IEC 60335-2-29-2012 §7.12 (see section Charging the S.B. in automatic mode).

1. Connect the C.D. clamp with the red insulator to the (+) terminal of the battery.

2. Connect the C.D. clamp with the black insulator to the (-) terminal of the battery.

3. Connect the automotive charger to the AC mains. Switch on the POWER switch. The algorithm starts 50 seconds after the indicator is turned on. If necessary, you can restart the charging algorithm; the procedure is described in the section Charger control.

4. Charging of the S.B. will occur in non-automatic mode. In this mode, it is necessary to monitor the state of charge by commonly accepted methods (by voltage, by time and current, by electrolyte density, etc.).

5. Upon completion of charging, disconnect the C.D. from the mains and remove the clamps. It is recommended to wipe the clamps and leads with a damp, then dry cloth to remove any electrolyte. It is advisable to lubricate the clamps afterwards with any automotive grease to protect against corrosion.

The operating time of the charger ORION Vympel-55 in any of the listed modes is unlimited.

LEAD RESISTANCE CALIBRATION

For correct voltmeter operation when installing output leads of a different length, it is necessary to calculate and compensate their resistance.

A procedure for more accurate calibration of lead resistance has been added to the charger, along with the option of manual setting.

To enter the lead resistance setting menu from the main screen, perform the following:

☞ ˃ — enter profile selection
☞ ˄ / ˅ — select settings
☞ ˃ — enter settings
☞ ˄ / ˅ — select Advanced
☞ ˃ — enter Advanced
☞ ˄ / ˅ — select Lead resistance
☞ ˃ — enter Lead resistance

The lead resistance settings menu looks as follows (actual values may differ from those shown):

Automatic calculation

The device allows calculating the voltage automatically based on the entered voltage and the current value.

Attention: for automatic calculation, perform the following steps beforehand:

Set charging algorithm 1 in the active profile
Set current in the active profile to at least 10 A (preferably set the maximum; the higher the current, the lower the error)
Connect a discharged battery or a load of approximately 150 W so that the actual current differs from the set current by no more than 0.3 A. For a load, you may use, for example, several headlight lamps connected in parallel.

After these conditions are met, while in the lead resistance menu perform the following:

Measure the voltage at the battery terminals with an external instrument

☞ ˄ / ˅ — select VOLT
☞ ˃ — enter voltage editing
☞ ˄ / ˅ — set the voltage corresponding to the readings of the external instrument
☞ ˃ — save the set value

After saving, if no errors occur, the RES field will contain a new calculated value of lead resistance in milliohms.

Possible errors

On saving, the device may show an error. For example:

Possible error codes and corrective actions are listed below:

Error 2: the difference between the set and actual current exceeds 0.3 A, as the device switched to voltage stabilization mode. Remedy: Increase the load.
Error 3: current less than 10 A. Remedy: Set current of 10 A or more in the active profile.

In case of an error, the lead resistance value does not change.

Manual setting

In addition to the automatic calculation of lead resistance, it is possible to set it manually. To do this:

☞ ˄ / ˅ — select RES
☞ ˃ — enter lead resistance editing
☞ ˄ / ˅ — set the required value (in milliohms)
☞ ˃ — save the set value.

REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION

The C.D. has electronic reverse polarity protection. In case of incorrect connection, the C.D. disconnects from the battery, a message appears on the screen and a periodic signal sounds. After disconnecting the C.D. clamps from the battery, operability is restored automatically.

OVERHEAT PROTECTION

To protect the power section from overheating, a micro-fan and an output current limiting circuit are used. This circuit automatically reduces the output current when the internal temperature rises above normal. A message appears on the screen and a periodic signal sounds. After the internal temperature decreases, the source returns to normal operation.

Fan operating mode is changed according to the section (p. 20). Fan operating mode

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

During long-term operation of the C.D., it is recommended to periodically perform the following maintenance:
1. Remove corrosion traces and lubricate the crocodile clamps.
2. Clean the louvers of dust by blowing.
3. Check the integrity of the mains cord insulation.

More complex work involving disassembly of the C.D. housing, such as replacement of the mains cord in case of damage, must be performed by the C.D. manufacturer or its agent or a similarly qualified person.
