4.4.1.

 

Mains 

Connect the mains power to the MAINS input of each DCA2.500 amplifier/charger. Keep the right polarity 
and connect the protective earth wire to the ground terminal. 

 

Mains connection must be connected in a permanent way to the mains network of the building; 

 

The external circuit feeding mains input of the Impact system must be equipped with an automatic 
overload protection and automatic earth-leakage protection. 

 

Mains circuit must include main rack circuit breaker of following rating: 

o

 

No of  DCA2.500 <10: 40A 

o

 

No of  DCA2.500 >10: 63A 

Mains  circuit  breaker  must  be  located  in  the  circuit  at  the  rack  entry,  before  splitting  to  the 
DCA2.500 units; 
Recommended mains circuit breaker type:  

ABB SD 202/63 or equivalent. 

 

Caution! Be careful! Risk of electrical shock! Make 
sure that the mains cable is not connected to the 
electricity network during equipment installation. 

 

4.4.2.

 

Battery 

Use only valve-regulated, sealed lead-acid maintenance-free batteries for stationary use. The Impact system 
is designed to operate with 24V battery (2 x 12V DC nominal voltage). 
To safely and properly install the battery circuit, follow the instructions below: 

1.

 

Before  installing  the  battery,  measure  the  voltage  of  each  battery  separately.  The  open-circuit 
voltage of a well-functioning, healthy 12V battery should be in the 

11,5 V – 13,5 V

 DC range. If the 

open-circuit battery voltage is out of this range, replace the battery. Always use pairs of batteries 
with the same open-circuit voltage (as close as possible). 

2.

 

Adjust  the  battery  position  in  the  rack  to  make  enough  room  for  safe  installation  (preferably 
bottom of the cabinet). 

3.

 

The DCA2.500 is equipped with internal battery fuses. However, for extra safety and convenience, 
it is recommended to use an additional removable battery fuse for each DCA2.500 amplifier (40A, 
slow). 
 

4.

 

Caution! Be careful! The negative pole of the battery connector is connected directly to the ground 
potential and the entire metal housing of the Compact 500. Dropping an unprotected battery lead 
on any part of the hardware, housing or battery brings a high risk of short-circuit and may damage 
the hardware and the battery. The high electrical current from the battery when short-circuiting 
may cause a rapid battery discharge and instant heat production. This may also destroy hardware 
components, cause serious battery capacity degradation or battery damage, cause fire and may 
be a potential risk to your health.
