Parts of the FCM-802/804 The key components of the FCM-802/804 are: Display screen Rating plate Unit serial number label Exhaust air Air filter Mounting (19" rack) Inlet air Rear view Earth terminal Power terminals Warning label Terminal cover Hydrogen connection Communication port Number 10009655.
The FCM-802/804 provides regulated DC at nominal output voltage, which can be defined by the user at a nominal 24V or 48V. The FCM-802/804 will hold the DC output at the nominal voltage while connected to an external battery or power supply so that the system will act as a hybrid system.
Do NOT disconnect the main power leads with the enable signal present. Warning: When the FCM-802/804 is running it will stay live if the power cables are disconnected. Warning: EVEN when the FCM802/804 is NOT running the cables may still be powered from the load side battery or external power source.
EN IEC 62485-2:2018. Safety requirements for secondary batteries and battery installations. Stationary batteries. Air supply To produce electrical power, the FCM-802/804 requires an unobstructed air supply which must not be recirculated between the exhaust and inlet. · Ensure that the air inlet cannot be blocked ·...
Connections Communication connection To operate FCM-802/804, communications need to be provided through the D-type connector. The pins of the connector have the following functions: Performance Function Specification Enable Provides power to the FCM Enable Positive Power source for the Enable signal...
There are four potential free contacts (PFC) for auxiliary signals to and from the FCM. The PFCs are setup to be one output and three inputs. These are software configurable by Intelligent Energy. The signals are shown in the following table: Description...
2 In all states, removing the Enable signal returns the FCM-802/804 to the module controller off state. 3 If the FCM-802/804 enters a fault condition the fault is latched. The Enable line must be cycled to clear it. 4 For start and stop criteria see section 13 Control parameters and standard factory setting.
Operation of FCM-802/804 Overview FCM 802/804 The FCM-802/804 provides regulated DC at nominal 24V or 48V output to a battery bus. The DC bus will be held at nominal voltage by a battery or external supply to act as a hybrid system. In the hybrid system, the battery is used to provide power whilst the fuel cell starts.
10.1 Mechanical mounting points The FCM-802/804 must be installed as a standard 19" rack unit. This should then be mounted on a flat surface with four retaining points, these must be tightened to a torque not exceeding 25Nm. When installing the FCM, inspect it and do not install if there is visible damage to the unit.
10.5 Vibration and shock loads The mounting of the FCM-802/804 must ensure that it is not exposed to shock or vibration loads. Ensure that the FCM-802/804 is stationary while it is operating. Note: If the FCM has been stressed due to vibration or shock, return to Intelligent Energy for investigation.
However, the air exhaust design must consider the hydrogen risk. The FCM-802/804 must be provided with free venting air in the range of +5 to +40°C, it must not be operated outside this range. The installation of the FCM 802/804 must be considerate of other equipment near FCM 802/804 may elevate the local ambient temperature during their operation.
The FCM-802/804 will consume less than 70g/kWh at rated power. This is equivalent to 34sl/min (FCM-802) and 56sl/min (FCM-804) at rated power. It must be noted that the flow will spike high during hydrogen purges, which, if poorly regulated, can lead to a low pressure fault of the FCM.
