WARNING Risk of serious personal injury or damage to equipment and property! Always observe the following: • Install and operate unit in a Restricted Access location, such as an enclosed equipment rack • Operate the supply from a grounded 3-pin 120Vac or 230Vac outlet (50 or 60Hz) with a branch circuit breaker rated 20A or less •...
INTRODUCTION The ICT BC2 IntelliCharge series of intelligent battery chargers provide reliable dc power to a system while precisely maintaining an external back-up battery using an intelligent temperature compensated fast-charge algorithm. The wide-ranging power factor corrected input supports operation worldwide, while a built in Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) relay will protect the battery from over discharge after prolonged periods of backup operation when AC power has failed.

The unit may also be rack mounted using the optional 19” 1U rack mounting kit (capacity for 2 chargers) ICT-RMK5. Configure the Charger: Always switch off the charger before changing the settings or making connections to the unit.
tables below. Note that for good battery life the battery should have a combined Ahr capacity of at least 3 times the maximum charge current being used. (e.g. Use a 45Ahr or larger rated battery (3 x 15A) with a 15A max charge setting) Charge Mode Battery Type BAT SW1...

Alarm output common Alarm Output Contacts Connect the optional remote battery temperature sensor (ICT-TMP) to the TEMP input on the back panel removable connector. Using the TMP sensor will enable the unit to compensate the charge Float voltage according to the battery case temperature, to help fully charge cold batteries and ensure warm batteries are not over charged.
Wire the load device to be powered by the charger directly to the LOAD +/- output terminals on the charger back panel. Remove the snap on connector cover and use appropriately sized wire with crimped on spade lugs sized to mate with the output terminal block.

power. Once the battery discharges to the LVD disconnection point the internal LVD relay will open the BATT+ lead to prevent over-discharging the battery. When AC power returns the unit will close the LVD contactor, and initiate a battery charge cycle. The unit may be used as a fixed output power supply without back-up, if no back- up battery is connected to the BAT terminals.
