WARNINGS
To reduce the risk of personal injury and property damage, please exercise caution and follow the
warnings below.
No user serviceable parts inside. Only ICT personnel are authorized to service
the unit.
Keep sources of moisture away from the unit.
Read manual completely before starting installation or operation of unit. Manual
should be saved for future reference.
Observe correct polarities when making the input and output connections.
Securely tighten all connections and insert fuses fully. Refer to product
specifications for maximum torque for the connectors.
Use appropriate wire size for both input and output connections.
Connect chassis of the unit to an Earth ground point.
Turn off power source before installing/removing fuses, connecting/disconnecting
loads, or connecting/disconnecting power source.
Allow input insulated studs and fuses to cool off before handling. Depending on
the current flowing through them, they may be too hot to touch.
Do not connect any power source to the output terminal blocks. Doing so may
cause the fuse status LEDs and alarm to not work properly.
It is recommended that the power source be equipped with current limit
protection.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ICT180-12IRC Intelligent Distribution Panel with Remote Power Control is designed for either 12
or 24VDC applications. It provides 12 output positions that are individually protected by blade type
fuses. Nine of the outputs use the ATO/ATC blade fuse that are rated up to 25A each. Three of the
outputs use the MAXI blade fuse and are rated up to 40A each. These fuses are located on the front of
the panel for easy monitoring and replacement. Each positive output terminal point is connected
through a fuse to a positive internal bus. All negative output terminal points are connected to a
negative internal bus.
System voltage, system current, output currents and fuse status can be monitored onsite through the
LCD graphics display. Fuse status is also displayed by an LED indicator. Form “C” alarm contacts
(C/NO/NC) are provided on the back of the panel for an external alarm circuit.
Remote monitoring is available through the integrated security protected Ethernet communications
port on the back of the panel. The panel has a built-in web server with an embedded web-based GUI
that can be accessed using any standard commercial web browser such as Internet Explorer. The web
server not only displays panel information, it can also be set up to send an alarm to a user-defined
email account in the event a fault occurs. The web server can also be for data logging of up to 30
hours of event information. All these features are packaged in a 1RU enclosure to save valuable rack
space, with a 19” wide front plate to fit standard 19” equipment racks.
DC outputs can be turned on and off remotely, allowing connected loads to be power-cycled through
the Ethernet connection.

continuous.
2. OUTPUT TERMINAL BLOCK 10 – 12: For DC load connections up to 40A each pair.
3. LAN PORT: For remote monitoring via TCP/IP network.
4. ALARM CONNECTOR: For external alarm circuit to monitor unit fault.
5. CHASSIS GROUND STUD: For Earth ground connection.
6. OUTPUT TERMINAL BLOCK 1 – 9: For DC load connections up to 25A each pair.
INSTALLATION
1. Inspect panel and accessories to make sure everything is complete and in good condition.
2. For rack set up, install panel on the rack using appropriate size screws and star washers on all four
mounting holes. If equipment rack is not electrically connected to Earth ground, connect a ground
cable from the ground stud on the back of the panel to a known Earth ground point. Otherwise, the
four mounting screws and washers may be sufficient for earth ground connection.
OR
For non-rack set up, connect a ground cable from the ground stud on the back of the panel to a
known Earth ground point.
3. Remove the plastic shield(s) covering the output terminal block(s) located on the back of the panel.
Connect the positive of the load to the positive terminal point (labeled “+”) and the negative of the load
to the negative terminal point (labeled “-”).

4. Install fuse on the front of the panel for each output terminal block. The fuse number on the front
of the panel matches the output terminal block number on the back of the panel. Consult your local
electrical codes for wire ampacity and fuse sizing. Typically, fuses and wiring are derated to 80% of
their rating (e.g. 12 Amps for a 15 Amp fuse). For terminal blocks with no load connected, insert any
size fuse to prevent the LED on the front of the panel from turning on and the alarm from activating if
the form “C” alarm is used.
5. Remove the plastic caps covering the input insulated studs. Connect the positive of the power
source to the red insulated stud (labeled “+”) and the negative of the power source to the black
insulated stud (labeled “-”).
6. Re-install plastic shield(s) to the output terminal block(s) and plastic caps to the input studs.
7. For form “C” alarm monitoring, connect an external alarm circuit to the alarm connector located on
the back of the panel. Depending on the alarm circuit (refer to table 2), connect it between normally
open (NO) and common (C), between normally close (NC) and common (C), or both. The built-in web
server controls this alarm. The alarm connector can be unplugged from the panel for easy
installation.
8. For remote monitoring and power control, connect your network interface to the Ethernet port on
the back of the panel. The recommended cable for Ethernet connection is Cat5e UTP network cable.
9. Power up the distribution panel, and check for proper operation of the connected load(s), fuse
status LEDs, LCD, form “C” alarm (if using) and Ethernet communications (if connected).
