The Orion XS can be used as a battery charger or as a power supply with a wide input and output voltage range.
In charger mode, the four-stage charge algorithm will increase battery life by properly charging the battery.
Especially in the case of vehicles with a Euro 5 or 6 smart alternator, which often supplies charging voltage that is too low even
with the engine running or in the event of a voltage drop over long cables, controlled charging is crucial.
Controlled charging also protects the alternator in lithium systems from overloading, as the low impedance of lithium batteries
results in a high alternator current.
In power supply mode, the output voltage remains stable regardless of the applied load or fluctuating input voltage (within the
specified range).
The output voltage is fully adjustable and remains independent of the input voltage, thanks to the automatic buck-boost control.
This control also guarantees that the current will never exceed the set value, even when the input voltage is higher than the
output voltage.
The Orion XS can be set only to supply power when the engine is running. This is possible thanks to the integrated engine
shutdown detection. This eliminates the need to adjust in-vehicle wiring or add an engine detection sensor to determine if
charging can start. It also prevents the voltage on board the vehicle from getting too low. In addition to this detection, the Orion
XS can also be forced on via the remote on/off port.
