BATTERY SYSTEM — BATTERY CHARGER
FC & FCA Battery Charger
In addition to the LC battery charger, a variation of full featured battery chargers are offered. The FC & FCA battery chargers have all of the standard features previously listed, and also include the following:
zComprehensive alarm system that meets NFPA requirements.
zSoft start that ensures smooth
zAC & DC breakers (20 & 25 amp units).
zDC voltmeter.
zSeparate internal adjustment for float & boost voltages.
zSeparate internal adjustment for low and high DC alarms.
zAlarm indicators and remote contacts.
zOutput Voltage increases to 10 Amps.
All battery chargers are unfiltered and are UL listed with the standard 120 input voltage. See the following paragraphs for details on each battery charger for 12 (or 24) volt systems.
LC12(24)-500-2 Battery Charger
This is the most basic battery charger model. It provides 12
(24)VDC at 3.0 amps, 120 VAC 60 Hz single phase, automatic dual rate, temperature compensated, and has no alarms.
FC12(24)-10-2011U Battery Charger
This battery charger provides more output current than the basic charger. It provides 12 (24) VDC at 10 amps, 120 VAC 60 Hz single phase, automatic dual rate, temperature compensated, and has no alarms.
