Connect a separate AC power cord to each shelf, using independent AC circuits rated for the full power operation of each shelf. OPERATION (Front Panel) Switch on the external AC power source circuit breaker, and check that the green POWER LED is lit on each power module, and that the ICM front graphic display is lit.
See the complete menu structure in the following diagram. Navigate through the various screens using the up and down arrows, the back button, and the Enter button. Note that output voltage and current limit settings apply to the combined output of all installed power modules. The ICM treats the combined modules as a single high-power supply.
Scroll to adjust parameter (Output V shown), press Enter to set value. Press Back return to System Settings Screen Alarms will be shown as they occur, press Back button to return to the Status screen, press Enter Alarm History info Once the Output Voltage and Current Limit values are configured to suit the connected battery and loads, switch on the BMM battery breaker 1, and battery breaker 2 (if installed) to connect the backup battery string(s) to the system.

BMM Settings (All Battery Types): The module comes with factory default settings loaded that should be configured to match the actual battery used in the system. WARNING Always consult battery manufacturer's specifications when selecting battery type. Incorrect battery type setting may damage your battery. If Lithium-Ion type battery is selected, it must utilize an integrated battery management system (BMS) to protect the battery cells from inappropriate voltage or current levels.

[Note] that the system must have the battery temperature sensor (ICT-TMP) installed on the battery for this setting to have an effect. Equalize Charge Settings This setting is only available if the system is configured for use with a lead-acid type battery.
Page 32
Equalize Duration: Set the duration time (10-240 minutes) for the equalize charge voltage to be applied (as recommended by your battery manufacturer). Equalize Interval: Set the equalize charge interval (0 – 180 days) so the system will perform an automatic equalize charge once every interval time has elapsed.
