Page 7: Fcm-801 Overview
FCM-801 overview The FCM-801 provides regulated DC at nominal 24V or 48V output (configurable by the user at point of order). The FCM-801 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. -
Page 8: Connections
Do NOT disconnect the main power leads with the Enable signal present. Warning: Do NOT use the FCM-801 if complete installation does not have a negative earth. When the FCM-801 is running the power output will stay electrically live if the power cables are disconnected. -
