IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Retain these instructions. This manual contains important
safety instructions.
• When replacing batteries, only use the same type of batteries
as described in the Specifications.
• Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to the relevant
local codes for disposal requirements.
• Switch main power off before connecting or disconnecting the
device. Danger of explosion!
• If the orange status LED is on steady, this indicates a failure
in the installation. In this case, do not turn on power supply
while the battery is connected. Danger of explosion!
• To guarantee sufficient convection cooling, keep a distance
of 20mm above and below the device as well as a lateral
distance of 5mm to other units. See Figure 4.
• Please note that the enclosure of the device can become very
hot depending on the ambient temperature and load of the
power supply. Risk of burns!
• The mains power must be turned off before connecting or
disconnecting wires to the terminals!
• Do not introduce any objects into the unit!
• Dangerous voltage present for at least 5 minutes after
disconnecting all sources of power.
• This is a built-in unit and must be installed in a cabinet or
room (condensation free environment and indoor location)
that is relatively free of conductive contaminants.
• CAUTION: FOR USE IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.
READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING
THIS DEVICE. KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

General Description
The PSL-24-BCM240 battery control module is designed to
use in small cabinets where space is very critical. It requires
less installation space due to its flat body with depth of
only 55.6 mm, 71mm wide and 91mm tall. The tough plastic
case is flame retardant, certified to UL 94V-0 specification.
The module supports 24VDC systems with external battery
up to 12AH capacity and comes with contacts for battery
management signals and an LED indicator for battery status.
The highly efficient convection cooled design is certified to
major safety approvals including IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 for ITE
and UL 508 for Industrial, which allows the module to be used
reliably in most industrial applications.
Risk of electrical shock, fire, personal
injury or death.
1. Turn power off before working on the device.
2. Make sure the wiring is correct by following all
local and national codes.
3. Do not modify or repair the unit.
4. Use caution to prevent any foreign objects
from entering into the housing.
5. Do not use in wet locations.
6. Do not use the unit in area where moisture or
condensation can be expected.
