Note:
Mechanical protection and covers
The FCM-802/804 must be mounted with protection from weather and the elements.
The FCM-802/804 has been designed to comply with IP20 rating, it must be mounted
within an enclosure which is at least IP24 rated if used outside.
The covers of the unit must not be removed by unauthorised personnel. The unit contains
live electrical components which could be hazardous, even when not operating. The covers
and the installation must protect the FCM-802/804 from precipitation and vegetation
ingress. The placement of the covers must consider the need for maintenance.
Do not remove the lid.
Do not remove terminal cover during operation.
Mechanical connection to the power terminals
It is important to use the correct procedure to connect the power terminals.
Incorrect procedure could damage the unit if excessive torque is used. Excessive load
may distort the internal busbars.
During Electrical maintenance/installation the FCM must be off and the load side
battery or external power supply must be made safe.
1 Two spanners (13mm).
2 One to hold first nut to prevent it from rotating.
Note: There is a lock nut at the back holding the stud in place, which must not
be adjusted.
3 The other to tighten the second nut to secure cable/conductor terminal against
first nut.
Mechanical connection to the Ground terminal
As standard the FCM 802/804 is provided negatively earthed. Positive earth version is
available as a factory configurable feature. The Ground terminal is located between the
two power terminals and should be used to earth the unit. The cable should be sized
to provide protection to the unit during operation and in foreseeable fault conditions.
Vibration and shock loads
The mounting of the FCM-802/804 must ensure that it is not exposed to shock or
vibration loads. Ensure that the FCM-802/804 is stationary while it is operating.
If the FCM has been stressed due to vibration or shock, return to Intelligent Energy
for investigation.
