  • Page 8: Cooling & Warning For Fan Failure

    SeCtION 4 | Cooling & warning for Fan Failure The heat generated due to internal power dissipation is removed by forced cooling through two high power D.C. fans mounted at the back of the unit which suck air from The vents on the sides of the unit & blow outwards from the rear of the unit. it is extremely important that the discharge side of the fans and the suction sides of the vent slots are not blocked.

    LEDs will, however, remain illuminated, but dimmed. when the overload reaches approximately 140A for SEC-100BRM-230 or 112A for SEC-80BRM-230 or 84A for SEC-60BRM-230 or 56A for SEC-40BRM-230 (the output voltage will be approximately 2.7V), the unit will shut down (will enter hiccup mode). The PSM status LEDs will start flashing and PSM status signal for remote indication will oscillate between high and low.

    SeCtION 9 | Operation of Battery Back-up note: The value of charge limiting resistors is based on a typical 100Ah deep cycle ma- rine battery. If a different type of battery is used, the value of the resistor should Be adjusted to meet associated charging requirements.
