INTRODUCTION The SETEC models BCE4 and BCE5 (battery charger/eliminator) provide a power output of 140 watt at 13.6 and 27.2V respectively. The nominal input mains may be 200V to 240V and 50Hz or 60Hz (a 100 to 120V version is available, consult the factory for details).
If every consideration in the Installation section of this manual has been satisfied the power supply will be safe to operate. Operating Modes The BCE4 and BCE5 have three main operating modes: • As a battery eliminator it may be used to power equipment requiring 12V –14V at 10Amps.
• Accurate current limit protection is provided for both load and battery. Automatic recovery from short circuit is provided with no current tailing in short circuit operation. • Over voltage protection provides shutdown of power supply. • Inrush Surge limiting at turn on. Battery LVD Operation A low voltage disconnect (LVD) is provided to prevent deep discharge of the battery.

When adjusting the output voltage, measure the voltage at the output connector with the battery disconnected. Failure to disconnect the battery can result in incorrect output voltage setting, and over charging of the battery may result. The output voltage is factory set to 13.65V (27.20V for BCE5) Issue D Page 7 of 13...

Phoenix: MSTB 2.5/6-ST Weco 120-A-111/06 Camden CTB9200/6A Hooking Up The requirements for wiring a BCE4/BCE5 into a system are as follows: LOAD, 0V These 2 connections are the DC output of the power supply. These connections are to supply the load.
BCE5. A minimum cable size of 1.5mm (16AWG) is recommended for BCE4 Note, maximum size of cable to output connector is 2.5 mm or 12AWG DC load cables must be sized to carry the maximum full load current and not exceed the system volt-drop requirements.
Cooling The BCE5 power supply has been design for convection cooling. It is, therefore, very important that its natural airflow is unimpeded. For maximum output power at maximum ambient temperature it is recommended that the following spaces above and below the power supply are provided.
