SAFETY GUIDELINES
Principles of Safe Operation and Maintenance
Safety must always be the top priority of all personnel involved in the
installation, operation, and maintenance of this unit as it operates at high
voltages that could be potentially lethal. Technicians must adhere to the
appropriate standards and manufacturer’s recommendations to minimize
hazards.
Do not attempt to perform the tasks described in this manual if you are not
a qualified professional.
It is essential that all safety devices and emergency response systems be
fully operational and within their certification periods before starting any
service.
Visual Communication
This manual uses extensive visual aids and tries to adhere to ANSI and ISO
safety symbol standards. These symbols describe the following situations:
WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
may result in death or severe injury or damage to equipment and
property.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to equipment
and property.
NOTICE
NOTICE indicates practices not related to physical injury but may
result in equipment damage, environmental hazards, loss of data,
and other undesirable consequences.
General Alerts
WARNING
Risk of serious personal injury or damage to equipment and
property. Always observe the following:
•Installation must be done by qualified technicians.
•Shut off or disconnect all DC power sources before
connecting or disconnecting wiring.
•Carefully observe wiring polarity when making input and
output connections.
•Securely tighten all connections.
•Do not attempt to service any internal parts. Refer all product
service to an authorized ICT Ltd. service facility.

iii
CAUTION
Risk of personal injury or damage to equipment and
property. Always observe the following:
•Use wire and connectors rated for the maximum load
current and size of fuse or circuit breaker in accordance with
NEC Section 210.20(A) and keep cable lengths as short as
practical.
•Install unit in a restricted access location (such as an
equipment rack) to limit unintentional contact with terminals
and wiring.
•Keep sources of moisture away from unit.
•Ensure all breakers are in the "OFF" position before
connecting or disconnecting wiring.
•Do not energize the unit before the chassis ground is
connected.
•DC-AC Inverters should not be connected to the outputs of
any ICT Distribution Series panel. DC-AC Inverters create
significant inrush current and may damage the circuitry or
interfere with the operation of power distribution panels that
they are connected to. Connecting an inverter in this way
may void the product warranty. ICT recommends connecting
a DC-AC inverter to the battery bank.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to equipment, environmental hazards, loss
of data and other undesirable consequences. Always
observe the following:
•The unit must be properly handled, mounted, and installed.
•Do not block air inlet or outlet openings.
•Due to environmental factors which are common at outdoor
communications sites, power surges from lightning strikes,
electrostatic discharge, and utility power feeds can occur.
These surges can damage connected equipment.
•Third-party surge suppression devices must be utilized to
protect AC input power feeds, and exposed DC power
conductors and data cables. To provide optimal protection,
these protection devices should be installed at both ends of
the exposed conductor, in close proximity to installed
equipment.
•Consult with manufacturers of surge suppression devices to
select appropriately rated protection device(s) and proper
installation methods.
•ICT’s product warranty does not cover damage caused by
power surges and electrostatic discharge events including
lightning.

NOTE: Due to the breaker-detection circuitry internal to the unit, it may be
possible to measure a voltage on the terminal(s) with no load
connected, even if that terminal’s breaker is open circuit. This is
normal operation. The breaker-detection circuitry is a high-
impedance circuit, and while a voltage may be present on the output
terminal, it is a signal voltage and does not support loading. A load
device connected to the output will immediately pull this voltage to
zero volts.
Product Alerts
CAUTION
Risk of personal injury or damage to equipment and
property. Always observe the following:
•Ensure the total power consumption of the loads does not
exceed the 100 amps (peak) rated capacity of each power
bus.
•Ensure continuous load current through each output
channel does not exceed the 80% of the maximum output
ratings in accordance with NEC Section 210.20(A).

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The ICT Distribution Series 3 dual-bus DC distribution panel provides two
100 amps (peak) bus inputs; with six independently controlled and
monitored output channels per bus in a compact 1RU chassis for 19-inch
rack mounting. Overcurrent protection for each output is available on the
front panel with 65-volt DC rated, user-insertable, magnetic-hydraulic circuit
breakers that are orderable separately.
Each bus can accommodate a supply voltage from 10- to 60-volt DC, either
positive or negative polarity, with a peak input current of 100 amps to be
distributed at 25 amps continuous (16 amps continuous for 48-volt systems)
on each of the six output channels. Each channel has independent current
sensing, overcurrent protection, alarms, and output on/off control.
Remote monitoring and control are available through the integrated
security-protected Ethernet communications port on the back of the unit.
The unit has a built-in web server with an embedded web-based graphical
user interface (GUI) that can be accessed using any standard commercial
web browser. The GUI displays all panel information; allows full access to
channel configuration settings; provides remote channel on/off control; and
can be set up to send an alarm to user-defined e-mail accounts in the event
a fault occurs. The GUI can also be used to configure and download a data
log of up to 30 days of time-stamped event information. Full monitoring and
control are also available using an SNMP-based management system for
larger installations.
System voltage, system current, output channel current, breaker status, and
alarm input status can also be monitored onsite through the front display
panel. Breaker trip status is indicated locally by the rocker handle position
and front Bus Alarm LEDs. Form-C alarm output contacts (C/NO/NC) are
provided on the back panel for each bus to indicate all distribution panel
alarms, while five additional alarm inputs can be used to monitor other dry-
contact site sensors such as door/window opening, smoke alarms, water
detectors, etc.
