Electrical configuration
The FCM-801 is supplied with cables which are 8AWG (8mm
2
). These should be
connected in a star configuration as shown in the figure below.
Do
NOT
electrically overload the FCM-801. Overloading will lead to excessive
load being drawn from the battery. Drawing excessive load may cause damage
to the equipment.
The battery circuit needs to be able to manage an in-rush of 100A of up to 5ms.
Do
NOT
disconnect the main power leads with the Enable signal present.
Do NOT use the FCM-801 if complete installation does not have a negative earth.
When the FCM-801 is running the power output will stay electrically live if
the power cables are disconnected. This therefore represents a high current
electrical hazard.
The battery pack should provide power at the desired voltage. The battery
pack should be capable of powering the load during module performance
optimisation cycle (see Section 8.3). For description of the command and signal
connections see Section 7 – FCM-801 Module Command and Status.
FCM-801 should be negatively earthed
