  • Page 7: Installation

    110 VAC supply is 13.8 amps, so a 15 amp circuit breaker should be used in the circuit panel and for a 220 VAC supply, 6.9 amps is the maximum current draw, so a 10 amp circuit breaker should be used in the circuit panel to feed power to the BCA1000. OUTPUT CONNECTIONS Two Positive output terminals and two Negative output terminals are provided.
  • Page 8: Operation

    Meters High quality digital meters can be added to the charger (factory installed only). Both outputs can be monitored for current and voltage Operation Prior to turning on the unit, you must decide on which charging profile, 2 or 3 stage charging, to use.
  • Page 9 A two-stage charger is preferred for “loaded” batteries and a three-stage for idle or unloaded batteries during recharging. All of Analytic Systems’ chargers include adjustable output voltage for charging standard or deep cycle lead-acid, VLRA or gel type batteries.
  • Page 10: Troubleshooting

You should immediately check the indicators to determine the cause of the shutdown. LOW OUTPUT Indicates that the output voltage is below normal because: •...
  • Page 11: Battery Temperature Sensors

    Remote Control Option IMPORTANT: This remote is to be used only on Battery Chargers manufactured by Analytic Systems. A remote control panel may be connected to the battery charger using a 9-pin D-connector, which attaches to the side of the battery charger. The remote control panel and D connector are part of the remote control option.
  • Page 12 Equalize Option The purpose of the Equalize Option is to deliberately overcharge the battery at a low rate of current to ensure that all cells are fully charged and to reduce the chance of sulfation of the battery. During the Equalize cycle, the cells, which are fully charged, will produce Hydrogen gas, and the cells, which are undercharged, will be brought up to full charge.
  • Page 13 marked “Batt 1” on the side of the unit. Note: If there is only one temperature sensor, it gets plugged into “Batt 1”. If there is a second temperature sensor, it should be plugged into to the phone jack labeled “Batt 2”. If a battery blanket is used the sensor may be tucked inside the blanket with the proper side of the sensor facing the battery.
