EnForcer® IMPAQ™+ Owner’s Manual I.B. 1634
WARNING: THE SHIPPING PALLET MUST BE REMOVED FOR PROPER AND SAFE
OPERATION.
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions. Before using the battery charger, read all
instructions, cautions and warnings on the battery charger, the battery and the product using the battery.
2. This charger has been designed to only charge flooded, lead-acid batteries. Read and understand all setup
and operating instructions before using the battery charger to prevent damage to the battery and to the
charger.
3. Do not touch non-insulated parts of the output connector or the battery terminals to prevent electrical shock.
4. During charge, batteries produce hydrogen gas which can explode if ignited. Never smoke, use an open
flame or create sparks in the vicinity of the battery. Ventilate well when the battery is in an enclosed space.
5. Do not connect or disconnect the battery plug while the charger is on. Doing so will cause arcing and burning
of the connector resulting in charger damage or battery explosion.
6. Lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid which causes burns. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. In
cases of contact with eyes, flush immediately with clean water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention
immediately.
7. Only factory qualified personnel can service this equipment. De-energize all AC and DC power connections
before servicing the charger.
8. The charger is not for outdoor use.
9. Do not expose the charger to moisture. Operating conditions should be 32º to 113º F (0º to 45º C); 0 to 70%
relative humidity.
10. Do not operate the charger if it has been dropped, received a sharp hit or otherwise damaged in any way.
11. For continued protection and to reduce the risk of fire, install chargers on a floor of non-combustible material
such as stone, brick or grounded metal.

INSTALLATION
WARNING: THE SHIPPING PALLET MUST BE REMOVED FOR PROPER AND SAFE
OPERATION.
Location
For maximum safe operation, choose a location which is free of excess moisture, dust, and
corrosive fumes. Also, avoid locations where temperatures are high or where liquids will drip
on the charger. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings or the space under the charger.
The charger will be installed with four 5/16 inch bolts or with the bracket supplied. See the Wall
Mounting Dimensions section at the end of this manual for proper bolt pattern.
NOTE: Ambient temperature at all levels cannot exceed 113° F (45° C).
Electrical Connections
To prevent failure of the charger, make sure it is connected to the correct line voltage.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE POWER TO THE CHARGER IS OFF AND THE BATTERY
IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CONNECTING THE INPUT POWER TO THE TERMINALS
OF THE CHARGER.
AC Connection
The user must provide suitable branch circuit protection and a disconnect method from the AC
power supply to the charger to allow for safe servicing.
Plug Polarity
The charging cable is connected to the DC output of the charger with the positive lead marked
RED. The output polarity of the charger must be strictly observed when connecting to the
battery (read warning above). Improper connection may open the DC fuse and/or damage the
charger.

EnForcer® IMPAQ™+ Owner’s Manual I.B. 1634
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
General
EnForcer® IMPAQ™+ chargers are microprocessor-controlled. The processor calculates the
battery’s capacity so that the charging profile can be automatically adapted to the battery’s
actual state over a wide range of capacities. The charging coefficient is maintained absolutely
on all types of batteries. EnForcer IMPAQ chargers adapt to the battery’s capacity and its
discharge level.
EnForcer IMPAQ+ chargers can easily be set to charge flooded batteries used in cold or
freezer storage applications, IONIC™ or opportunity profiles. This battery charger is also
designed to charge flooded and sealed lead-acid storage batteries within the range of the cell
and ampere-hour rating as marked on the nameplate.
Charging Current
Charging current is determined by the battery voltage and state of the charge condition.
Charging current declines automatically as battery voltage rises during the charge. As the
battery charges, the graphical display will output various charge parameters including the
percentage of battery capacity.
AC Power Fail
If the AC power fails with a battery connected to the charger during a charge cycle, the charger
will reset and start a new charge cycle when power is restored. All charger settings as well as
the time and date are preserved.
Series Charging
In series charging, the voltages of both batteries add up and must match charger’s nameplate
DC Volts rating. The charger’s amp-hour rating must be equal to each battery’s ampere-hour
rating. Charge cycle will not start unless both batteries are connected.

GLOSSARY
Wi-iQ® Device
This unit, permanently mounted on the battery, ensures that certain battery parameters can be
sent to the charger for the purposes of optimizing the charge and monitoring the charging and
discharging characteristics.
Charging Profile
The charging profile defines the rate of current charge over time. The charger adapts to the
battery’s age and level of discharge. Controlling the overcharge coefficient, whatever the
battery’s discharge level, reduces the amount of electricity consumed.
Equalization Charging
Equalization charging, performed after normal charging, balances the electrolyte densities in
the battery’s cells.
Gel-Bloc Profile
This charging profile is an IEI charging profile designed for Gelled Electrolyte type sealed lead-
acid batteries.
IONIC™ Profile
Also called “ionic mixing”, this type of charging profile consists of sending short pulses of
current to stimulate gas formation in the active material, causing sulfuric acid to be distributed
outside the plates. This system of mixing the electrolyte enables more rapid charging of
flooded cell batteries subject to very high demands and balances out differences in density,
homogenizing the electrolyte across the surface of the plates.
VRLA Profile
This charging profile allows for Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries to be charged.
This charging profile is an IEI (constant current, constant voltage, constant current, constant
voltage) type.
Opportunity Profile
This charging profile is used when opportunity charging is desired. It has a start rate of 25% of
the battery rated amp hour capacity, requires one opportunity recharge in every 24 hours of
service and must have an equalize charge done once a week which is programmed to run
automatically.
Operation
During opportunity charging the user can plug the battery in and charge it during breaks,
lunch or any work stoppage time. Sufficient time should be scheduled after the full
charge to allow the battery to completely cool to ambient temperatures before use.
9
EnForcer® IMPAQ™+ Owner’s Manual I.B. 1634
Daily Charge
Is the time of day for a Complete IONIC™ charge profile.
Used in opportunity profile only.
NOTE: The factory default is complete charge disable, 6 hour Equalize, Sunday at 00
hour.
Refresh Charging
Refresh or maintenance charging enables the battery to be maintained at maximum charge all
the time that it is connected to the charger.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The EnForcer® IMPAQ™+ series of chargers are compatible with batteries of 12, 24, 36, 48,
64, 72 and 80 volts (depending on the version supplied).
The EnForcer IMPAQ+ charger includes an adapter to communicate with a Wi-iQ® device. The
Wi-iQ device is an advanced battery module that measures, tracks, and stores important
battery parameters such as temperature, electrolyte level, voltage and AH. This data is
wirelessly transmitted to the EnForcer IMPAQ+ to optimize charging, alerts the operator to
battery issues, and safeguard the battery from being permanently damaged.

The charger requires minimal maintenance. Connections and terminals should be kept
clean and tight. The unit (especially the heatsink) should be periodically cleaned with an air
hose to prevent any excessive dirt build up on components. Care should be taken not to
bump or move any adjustments during cleaning. Make sure that both the AC lines and the
battery are disconnected before cleaning. The frequency of this type of maintenance
depends on the environment in which this unit is installed.
