3.4 Controlling the Pre-Transfer Charging
3.4.1 Outline
The system used for pre-transfer charging serves the following functions:
1. Controlling the DC bias to a specific level of current.
2. Controlling the AC bias to a specific level of voltage.
3. Controlling the output to suit the environment (fuzzy control).
The system used to control the pre-transfer charging is constructed as follows:
F04-304-01
The following signals are used:
[1] pre-transfer/separation charging leakage detection signal: ‘0’ when an excessively high
or low level of current is detected.
[2] pre-transfer charging control signal; the output of pre-transfer current turns ON when
the voltage is about 3 V or more and less than 11 V; it turns OFF when the voltage is
about 12 V or more.
[3] pre-transfer/separating charging remote signal; turns on/off the output of the pre-trans-
fer/separation current.
