Thank you for choosing an interVOLT isolated power conditioner ...
A 24VDC to 24VDC power conditioner is used primarily for connecting auxiliary 24VDC equipment
in a 24VDC wired application. The power conditioner must be sized according to the load
connected in order to ensure good performance, safety and longevity. Listed below are just a few
of the features and benefi ts you have gained in selecting an interVOLT power conditioner.
Intervolt SPCi Series Switchmode power conditioners are designed for high demand power
requirements in transport, telemetry, alternative energy applications and the like. They are
suitable for powering a large range of auxiliary 24VDC equipment including communications,
navigation, monitoring, instrumentation, lighting, refrigeration and much more.
Intervolt SPCi's incorporate a range of innovative features including an industry fi rst, micro-
processor controlled operator interface for the control and monitoring of the many SPCi
functions. This feature is designed to help trouble-shoot general installation errors and assist in
fault fi nding common problems.
Intervolt SPCi's are fully protected from typical connection and installation faults by a range of
built-in safety devices. These devices protect the units from reverse connection, short-circuiting,
overloading, high output voltages and high temperatures.
Intervolt SPCi's are designed to cope with the demands of the harshest applications and will
operate in high temperature, high humidity environments. They are constructed of quality marine
grade materials and when applied and installed correctly are designed to provide many years of
continuous service.
