Mac Plus 24/24-30 + CZone Charger Converter

The Mac Plus 24/24-30 + CZone is a DC-DC charger-converter that converts an input voltage of 24 V into a stabilized output voltage of 24 V. It can be used as a three-stage battery charger or as a stabilized power supply for sensitive equipment. It is specifically designed to optimize the charging of service batteries, even with Euro 5 and 6 smart alternators.

This charger is compatible with a wide range of battery chemistries, including:

Wet batteries (flooded lead-acid)Gel batteriesAGM batteriesSpiral batteriesLithium-ion batteries, including LiFePO4It uses the Mastervolt 3-step+ charging algorithm for optimal charging.

Yes, absolutely. The Mac Plus is designed to work perfectly with modern Euro 5 and Euro 6 alternators. It provides constant power even when the alternator is inactive, ensuring proper charging of your service batteries despite start/stop systems or smart alternators.

The Mac Plus 24/24-30 provides a nominal output power of 810 W and a maximum output power of 850 W. The maximum output current is 30 A, enabling fast and efficient charging of your 24 V service batteries.

Yes, the Mac Plus supports parallel operation. You can connect up to ten units in parallel to achieve a charging capacity well above 100 amperes. This allows you to tailor the charging power to your specific needs.

The Mac Plus has an efficiency above 95% at nominal input voltage and full load, with peak efficiency reaching 97%. This high efficiency minimizes energy losses and heat generation.

Yes, the Mac Plus is compatible with the MasterBus, CZone, and NMEA 2000 communication protocols. This allows for easy integration into complete energy management systems, providing advanced monitoring and control of your electrical installation.

To add the Mac Plus to an existing CZone network:

Disconnect the backbone at the nearest connection point and add a T-connector. Reconnect the backbone with the new T-connector in place. Connect the CZone/MasterBus RJ45 link cable (supplied) to the black coupler of the T-connector, then to the device. The device comes with a 1-meter CZone/MasterBus link cable.

For the 24/24-30 model, the minimum recommended cable cross-section is 10 mm² (AWG 8) for both input and output. Ensure you use appropriately sized cables and correctly rated fuses to guarantee safety and performance.

Yes, a battery temperature sensor is included with the Mac Plus. This sensor adjusts the charging voltage based on battery temperature, optimizing the charging process and extending battery life.

The input voltage range for the Mac Plus 24/24-30 is 19 V to 30 V. The nominal input voltage is 24 V. This wide range allows it to accept various DC power sources.

Yes, thanks to Mastervolt's 3-step+ charging algorithm, the Mac Plus can recharge even fully discharged batteries. It can detect the battery's state and adapt its charging cycle accordingly.

The Mac Plus has built-in DIP switches on the front panel that allow basic configuration. You can set the battery type, output current, and other essential settings without needing a computer or configuration software.

The Mac Plus is protected against reverse polarity by a fuse. However, a short circuit or reversed polarity can seriously damage the device, batteries, and wiring. It is imperative to strictly follow the wiring diagrams to avoid any damage.

Yes, the Mac Plus is designed to withstand harsh conditions. It features a high-quality aluminum housing with an IP23 ingress protection rating, providing good protection against dust and water spray. It is CE, E-Mark, SAE J1171, and ISO 8846 (ignition protection) certified, making it suitable for marine applications.

The standby power consumption of the Mac Plus is less than 2 mA. This very low consumption minimizes battery drain when the device is in standby mode, making it ideal for installations where power is at a premium.

Yes, in addition to functioning as a three-stage battery charger, the Mac Plus can be configured to serve as a stabilized DC power supply. It then provides a stable 24 V output voltage, protecting sensitive equipment from voltage fluctuations.

The dimensions of the Mac Plus 24/24-30 are 255 x 165 x 66 mm (10.0 x 6.5 x 2.6 inches) and it weighs 2 kg (4.4 lbs). These compact dimensions make it easy to install in tight spaces.

The Mac Plus is equipped with an engine running signal input (active high/active low). This function allows the device to detect when the engine is running. Thus, it will never draw power from the starter battery, ensuring you can always start your engine.
