Connecting an FCBC to the ETERNITY GENX
As PS48VDC Card works with FCBC, the input voltage working range has hysterisis.The power supply turns ON at
Voltage greater than 45VDC and it remains ON till 40VDC during battery discharge condition. Moreover, the input
voltage for the card must be from 40VDC to 60VDC.

Battery Backup output into the 3-way termination block on the PS Battery Backup card. The Battery cable
supplied with the card has a connector on one end and the other end is free. Insert the cable connector
into the connector on the card as shown below. At the other free end connect the Battery.
Polarity is critical. Ensure that the wires are connected with the correct polarity. Follow the standard color
codes used by Battery manufacturers:

3. When the batteries are drained, the FCBC goes into the charge mode and begins to charge the batteries at higher current. When the
batteries reach a preset voltage level (typically set to 56.0 volts), the FCBC goes to float mode. In the float mode the FCBC keeps
charging the battery but at lower current. The FCBC monitors the voltage level of the batteries. As soon as the battery voltage goes
below preset voltage (typically set to 50.4 volts), FCBC goes from float mode to charge mode. The change over from mains to battery
and vice-versa is automatic. The advantage of using an FCBC is that batteries get charged faster, since the batteries are charged
with higher current initially.
