PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The ICT Dual Bus Distribution Panel provides two 100A (pk) bus inputs with six
independently controlled and monitored output channels per bus in a compact
1U high chassis for 19 inch rack mounting. Over current protection for each
output is available on the front panel in two configurations; with 80VDC rated
blade style fuses, or with 65VDC user replaceable magnetic-hydraulic circuit
breakers.
Each bus can accommodate a supply voltage from 10VDC to 60VDC, either
positive or negative polarity, with a peak input current of 100A to be distributed
at 25A maximum (15A for 48V systems) on each of the 6 output channels. Each
channel has independent current sensing, over current protection, alarms, and
output on/off control.
Remote monitoring and control is available through the integrated security
protected Ethernet communications port on the back of the panel. 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, such as
Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. The web server 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 userdefined email accounts in the event a fault occurs. The web server can also be
used to configure and down load a data log of up to 30 days of time stamped
event information. Full monitoring and control is also available using an SNMP
(v2) based management system for larger installations.
System voltage, system current, output channel current, fuse status, and alarm
input status can also be monitored onsite through the front panel LCD display.
Fuse status is displayed by an LED indicator located over each fuse, while breaker
trip status is indicated locally by the rocker handle position and front bus alarm
LED’s. Form-C alarm output contacts (C/NO/NC) are provided on the back panel
for each bus to indicate all distribution panel alarms, while 5 additional alarm
inputs can be used to monitor other dry-contact site sensors such as
door/window opening, smoke alarms, and water detectors etc.

Shut off or disconnect all dc power sources before connecting or
disconnecting wiring
Use wire and connectors rated for the maximum load current and size of
fuse or circuit breaker, and keep cable lengths as short as practical
Carefully observe wiring polarity when making input and output connections
Securely tighten all connections
Bond the panel chassis to the rack system ground, connecting a ground wire with
ring tongue to the back panel ground stud. (8-32 thread)
Connect Bus A loads to each output channel using suitably rated wire (10AWG
max) sized for the fuse or breaker installed on the channel, stripping 10-11mm of
insulation and firmly clamping in the Bus A channel 1 to 6 output connectors.
Note which load is connected to each channel, for future reference.
Repeat for the Bus B loads if required. The unit may be operated with either Bus
A or Bus B powered, or both.
NOTE!
All channel RTN lines, and the main high power Bus A and Bus B RTN terminals
are common, and tied to a single internal Return bus. Bus A and Bus B inputs can
be wired to a different dc voltage (10 to 60Vdc) of either polarity, but must share
a common RTN voltage, normally at earth potential.
Connect the main Bus A RTN line to the external battery or power supply return
using wire and ring connectors rated for up to 100A continuous current. Feed the
wire through the plastic insulating cap (supplied), and connect the ring tongue to
the M8 RTN stud, then securely fasten with supplied hardware. Slip the
insulating cap over the high current ring tongue and RTN stud on the back panel
to help prevent accidental contact with the stud connection.
Connect the Bus A Input through a suitably rated disconnect switch (set in the
open position) and a fuse or circuit breaker rated for 100A max continuous
operation to the external battery or power supply output, using wire and
connectors rated for 100A continuous current. Feed the wire through the plastic
insulating cap (supplied), and connect the input ring tongue to the M8 Bus A
Input stud, then securely fasten with supplied hardware and slip the cap over the
ring tongue and stud to help prevent accidental contact with the input stud
connection.
Repeat input wiring for the Bus B input, its power source and over current
protection device, if the Bus B outputs are to be used.
Connect the two form-C relay bus alarm outputs to an external monitoring
system if needed, by stripping and terminating 16-28AWG alarm wiring in the
8 Innovative Circuit Technology Ltd.
Alarm 3-pin connector plugs, and installing in the back panel. Each Bus Alarm
output will trigger for any fuse or breaker open, or other alarm related to any
channel on that bus (Factory Default). Most alarm conditions can be masked off
so that they will not trigger the Alarm output if required, using the web based
graphical interface.
Bus Alarm Connector:
Connect up to 5 dry contact type site sensors (such as door/window sensors,
smoke alarm, water detectors etc.) by stripping and terminating 16-28AWG
alarm wiring and connecting to the five Site Alarm Inputs on the 10 pin
removable Alarm Input Plug, if desired. These inputs may be configured to
activate the panel Alarm outputs, or send an alarm e-mail on network connected
units. The external sensor contacts must be voltage free; as a small sense current
is supplied from the panel Alarm Input pins to detect the external contact open
or closed state. Refer to the Web Based Utility section for information on how to
configure and use the five Site Alarm inputs.
