2. Quick start guide
The Blue Smart IP22 Charger range is designed to be permanently mounted using the mounting tabs on the base of the charger.
Identify/provide a suitable and safe location for the charger on a non-flammable substrate, with at least 10cm of clearance surrounding the charger and good natural airflow/ventilation; do not install or place/operate the charger on top of the battery, directly above the battery, or in a sealed compartment with the battery.
Mount the Blue Smart IP22 Charger vertically with the terminals facing down; secure using suitable pan/flange head screws though the mounting holes/slots.
Remove the terminal cover, then connect suitable DC power cabling between the Blue Smart IP22 Chargers BATTERY terminals (torque the terminal screws to 2.4Nm and reinstall the terminal cover) and the battery or DC system distribution bus.
There are specific wiring connection instructions for charging a battery installed within a vehicle; refer to the 'Installation > Wiring' section for more information.
Connect the Blue Smart IP22 Charger AC power cable to a mains power outlet; after a short delay the LEDs indicating the current charge mode and charge state will illuminate.
Select the charge mode and charge current limit most appropriate for the battery type and capacity.
To setup using the charger:
Press (and release) the MODE button on the Blue Smart IP22 Charger to cycle through and select the most appropriate integrated charge mode (Normal, Normal + Recondition, High, High + Recondition or Li-ion).
The LED beside the currently selected charge mode (NORMAL / HIGH / LI-ION) will be illuminated, as well as the RECONDITION LED if enabled.
If the maximum rated charge current is excessive, enable low current mode; refer to the 'Setup > Setup using the charger' section for instructions.
To setup using VictronConnect:
Using a Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet), open the VictronConnect app and locate the Blue Smart IP22 Charger in the Device list Local page, then connect to the device (the default PIN code is stated on a label located on the back of the charger, or try 000000 if there is no label).
Select the Settings icon (gear in the top right corner) to access the Settings page.
Select the most appropriate integrated charge mode (Normal, Normal + Recondition, High, High + Recondition or Li-ion) from the Charge preset menu.
If the maximum rated charge current is excessive, enable low current mode; refer to the 'Setup > Setup using VictronConnect' section for instructions.
All settings are stored and will not be lost when the charger is disconnected from mains power or the battery.
When the ABS LED is illuminated the charger has moved into absorption stage (bulk stage is complete); the battery will be approximately 80% charged (or >95% for Li-ion batteries) and may be returned into service if required.
When the FLOAT LED is illuminated the charger has moved into float stage (absorption stage is complete); the battery will be fully (100%) charged and is ready to be returned into service.
When the STORAGE LED is illuminated the charger has moved into storage mode (float stage is concluded); to maintain the battery at full charge, the battery can be left on continuous charge for an extended duration.
To stop charging disconnect the power supply to the AC power cable.
