2000 ECS Battery Plant J85500D-3
Issue 5 January 1999
Product Description 2 - 7
Like the VR Series batteries, the Lineage
®
2000 IR Series
batteries are ideally suited for use in the ECS battery plant. The
12-volt 12IR125 battery is used in strings of four. The battery
stand (List 9) furnished with the J8500D-3 battery plant
accommodates four strings of 12IR125 batteries. (See the

information.)
Controller
The ECS controller performs the centralized monitoring, control
and reporting functions for the ECS battery plant. The basic ECS
controller can monitor and control up to six rectifiers. It also
provides a single interface point for power alarm and status
reporting.
Two optional expansion circuit packs are available to upgrade
the ECS controller: a microcomputer board equipped with a
powerful 16-bit microprocessor, and a datalogger board. The
microcomputer board adds sophisticated firmware features such
as remote communications, alarm history, statistics, and voice
response. The datalogger board may be used in conjunction with
the microcomputer option to provide general purpose ac and dc
voltage and current monitoring and control. A remote
termination panel allowing external connection to the board
from outside the controller is also available with the datalogger
board. (See the ECS controller manual for further information.)
DC distribution
The ECS dc distribution panel has a maximum of 42 circuit
breaker positions. The circuit breakers are a plug-in style,
available in 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100
ampere ratings. The 3 through 50 ampere breakers occupy one
position and the 60 through 100 ampere circuit breakers require
two positions on the panel. The distribution panel contains the
plant charge and discharge bus bars, plant shunt, optional
LVD/R or LVLD/R contactor and associated circuitry. The dc
distribution bus bars are shown in Figure 2-3. The circuit
breakers are illustrated in Figure 2-4, and the front of the
distribution panel is shown in Figure 2-5.
