Introduction The model BCA610 Battery Charger charges 12, 24, 32 or 48 batteries from a 110 or 220 VAC power source. The all new Current Mode switching design offers increased power and reliabil- ity in a compact package. Extra input and output filtering reduce EMI to extremely low levels. Reliability features include an input fuse, thermal shutdown, current limiting, reverse battery hookup protection and output short circuit shutdown with automatic recovery.

Installation Mounting Mount the unit in a DRY location. Allow at least 4 inches of clearance around the heat sink fins for adequate cooling. Power Connection The unit is supplied with a power cable 5 feet long. This should normally be adequate to connect to a source of power.
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.

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.
Troubleshooting This unit provides LED indicators and a buzzer to help diagnose any problems. The unit should sound the buzzer to alert you prior to shutting itself down. You should immediately check the indicators to determine the cause of the shutdown. LOW OUTPUT Indicates that the output voltage is below normal because: The current demanded by the devices connected to the unit exceeds the...
Dry Contact Relay To use your dry contact output fail relay you must connect a 9-pin D connector to the unit. You must use pins one and six as is indicated on page 9 in the remote connector diagram. The relay is factory preset to fail in the closed position when the low output LED and buzzer come on.
IMPORTANT: This remote is to be used only on Battery Chargers manufactured by Analytic Systems. REMOTE CONNECTOR This connector is located on the side of the unit. Important: To prevent the possibility of High Voltage Electrical Shock, do not power up the battery charger unless all wiring from the unit to the remote is securely connected.

the time. If the Charging LED is off when the button is pressed, the Equalize cycle will begin immediately. The charger will charge the battery at approximately 10% its normal rate (i.e. 4 amps for a 40 amp charger) until the battery reaches equalize voltage and then the current reduces as neces- sary to maintain the battery at that voltage.
