SECTION 3 | Description & Principle of Operation 3.3.2 Battery Charging and Backup Section Refer to Fig 3.1 3.3.2.1 In battery charging and backup application, the SMPS Section (details at Section 3.3.1 above) will supply the load current as well as the battery charging current to keep the battery charged to Float Voltage of 13.5V±...
Page 10
SECTION 3 | Description & Principle of Operation 3.3.2.4 Using Equation 1 above, it will be seen that the effective series resistance of 0.6 Ohm will limit the charging current. The charging current will be higher when the battery is more discharged and will progressively reduce as the battery voltage rises when charged.

SECTION 4 | Protections 4.1.1.3 When backup battery is NOT connected and the unit is operating as a power supply without battery backup, the entire load current is provided by the SMPS Section of the unit. In this case, Hiccup Modes of overload and short circuit protections will be provided as explained at Sections 4.1.1.2 (a) and (b).
SECTION 4 | Protections 4.2 PROTECTION AGAINST REVERSE POLARITY ON THE BATTERY CONNECTION 4.2.1 Refer to Fig 3.1 under Section 3 4.2.2 In case the polarity of battery connection is reversed, Diode “D3” will be forward biased and external 25A Fuse F1 will blow. 4.3 COOLING FAN 4.3.1 The unit is cooled by convection and in addition, it has a temperature controlled cooling fan located at the back of the unit (7, Fig 2.1).
SECTION 4 | Protections ATTENTION! Pour empêcher l’arrêt prématuré de l’unité en raison de l’activation de la protection de surchauffe, veuillez vérifier les points suivants : • Installer l’appareil dans un endroit bien aéré, frais et sec, à l’aire ouverte •...
SECTION 5 | Installation WARNINGS! PLEASE READ “Section 1 - Important Safety Instructions” for safe installation. 5.1 LAYOUT & DIMENSIONAL DRAWINGS 5.1.1 Please refer to the following: • Layout Drawing: Fig 2.1 • Dimensional Drawing: Fig 2.2 5.2 LOCATION, MOUNTING AND SAFETY 5.1.2 The unit is required to be installed in a safe, well-ventilated and dry location.

SECTION 5 | Installation TABLE 5.1: RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZES FOR 3 FT., 6FT. AND 10 FT. DISTANCES Size of Wiring for 2% Voltage Drop Rated Current 3 ft. 6 ft. 10 ft. AWG #10 AWG #8 AWG #6 As mentioned above, the calculated wire size is AWG #10 when considering safety of conductor insulation.
SECTION 6 | Operation 6.1 PREVENTING DISCHARGE OF BACKUP BATTERY WHEN AC INPUT IS NOT AVAILABLE CAUTION! If AC input power is NOT available and a battery has been connected for backup function, the load will be powered by the battery and the battery will con- tinue to discharge as long as the load is in ON condition.

SECTION 6 | Operation Battery should not be charged at very high current. Normally, as a Rule of Thumb, the maximum charging current should be limited to 10% of the Ah capacity at 20 Hour Rate unless higher current is allowed by the manufacturer. Higher charging current produces higher heating, which reduces the life of the battery.
SECTION 7 | Limiting Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) CAUTION! Conducted and radiated noises in this unit are limited as per the applicable National / International Standards as detailed under Compliance: EMC in Section 9. This unit generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
