SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for the battery charger.
BATTERY CHARGER PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not expose the battery charger to rain or snow unless it is a sealed model.
2. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may
result in a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
3. Do not disassemble the battery charger; return it to the manufacturer or an authorized
service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk
of electric shock or re. Voltages in excess of 350 volts are present inside the charger any
time it is plugged into a power source, even if it is switched off.
4. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the battery charger from the power source before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
5. Never place battery charger directly above battery; gases from battery will corrode and
damage battery charger.
6. Never allow battery acid to drip on to the battery charger.
1. WARNING — RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
i. WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE SERVICING
EQUIPMENT IN THE VICINITY OF THE BATTERY, YOU READ THIS USER GUIDE AND
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
ii. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by
the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in
vicinity of battery. Review the cautionary marking on these products.
2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
i. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when you work near a battery.
ii. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
iii. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near battery.

Medical Equipment Notice
Analytic Systems does not recommend the use of their products in life support
applications where failure or malfunction of this product can be reasonably
expected to cause failure of the life support device or to signicantly affect its
safety or effectiveness. Analytic Systems does not recommend the use of any
of its products in direct patient care. Examples of devices considered to be life
support devices are neonatal oxygen analyzers, nerve stimulators (whether used
for anesthesia, pain relief, or other purposes), auto-transfusion devices, blood
pumps, debrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms, pacemakers, hemodialysis
systems, peritoneal dialysis systems, neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators
for both adults and infants, anesthesia ventilators, and infusion pumps as well as
any other devices designated as “critical” by the U.S. FDA
iv. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If
acid enters eye, immediately ood eye with running cold water for at least 10
v. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or ame in the vicinity of a battery.
vi. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark
or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause a re or explosion.
vii. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-
circuit current high enough to melt metal, causing a severe burn.
viii. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
ix. If it is necessary to remove a battery from service, always remove grounded terminal
from battery rst. Make sure all accessories connected to the battery are off, to
prevent an arc when reconnecting the new battery.
x. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated.
xi. Clean the battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact
with eyes.
xii. Study all the battery manufacturer’s specic precautions such as removing or not
removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge

Introduction
The BCD180 Series Battery Charger is a constant voltage oat charger with a precision linear
regulator output. It can be congured to run from a 32, 48 or 72 VDC power system to provide
output voltages as specied in the specications.
Designed for optimal safety and efciency, this unit features reverse input connection protec-
tion, current limiting, output over-voltage protection, ultra quiet low EMI operation and a wide
operating temperature range.
This oat charger will provide 15 amps maximum current at 12 volts or 7.5 amps at 24 volts
nominal. The charger maintains a constant output voltage. When battery voltage reaches the
charger voltage charge current is discontinued. This unit can be used as a voltage converter in
order to power a passive load.

Operation
The BCD180 is designed for simple and intuitive operation. Before this unit can be put into
operation, it must be properly installed and connected. For more information, see Installation.
To turn the unit on
1. When properly connected to a power source and battery, the unit will automatically begin
charging the battery.
2. The Power LED on the top of the chassis will glow green. The Charging LED will then
glow green indicating it is charging the battery,
To turn the unit off
1. Disconnect the battery and power and source. The Power LED and charging LED will stop
glowing indicating end of operation.
Troubleshooting
Below is a list of common malfunctions and the suggested course of action for xing the
issues causing them.
The unit is not supplying the listed voltage to the device(s)
Issue: If the current demanded by the load exceeds the maximum current
rating of the unit. The unit will drop the output voltage to maintain the
current at its maximum level.
Fix: Disconnect some devices from the converter to reduce the load.
The input fuse blows with the unit is turned ON
Issue: The power source is likely connected in the reverse polarity.
Fix: Check the input connection and correct the polarity if connected in
reverse. If the connection is correct, the cause is likely an internal
component failure and the unit must be returned for service.
The input LED does not turn glow when the input power source is connected.
Issue: The unit is not receiving the minimum voltage required for normal
operation.
Fix: Check the input power source using a multimeter to ensure it is
supplying the rated voltage. Check your input power connections to make
sure they are not damaged or discontinuous. If there are no problems
with the power source or input connection, the cause is likely an internal
component failure and the unit must be returned for service.

Installation
MOUNTING
Mount the unit in a DRY and WELL VENTILATED location. Allow at least 1 inch of clearance
around the unit for adequate cooling.
POWER CONNECTION
This unit is equipped with a 4-pin Phoenix connector to serve as both an input and output
connection.The wiring of this connection can be found on top panel label.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the wiring used for the input and output connections is of a suit-
able gauge for the input current rating and output current rating, respectively. See Specica-
tions for more details.
