Section II. DESCRIPTION AND DATA
1.5. PURPOSE AND USE. The Battery Charging Distribution Panel is
designed to
take the output of a
28-volts, direct current power source and distribute that output dc voltage to batteries requiring a charge. The
distribution panel can be used to charge lead-acid batteties having a nominal voltage rating of 24-volts, 12-volts
and/or 6-volts when proper cabling connections to the distribution panel and battefies are made. Refer to
Chapter 2, SectionIII for instructions
and procedures
for making proper cabling connections
and operation of
the distribution panel.
Do not charge NICAD batteries with this equipment.
1.6. DESCRIPTION. The distribution panel is
housed in a
water-vapor-proof carrying case which is
fabricated
from heavy-gauge aluminum. Operation controls, voltage and current indicating meters, receptacle connections,
and power distribution system components are mounted on a control panel located in the top portion of the
carrying case. The control panel is hinge-mounted to the carrying case and held in place by five (5) aluminum
stud fasteners. Releasing these stud fasteners allows the hinge-mounted panel to be raised for easy access to,
and maintenance of the power distribution system components. A main power cable assembly, battery
connecting cables and jumper cables are stored in the bottom portion of the carrying case. The cable storage
area is secured by a hinged panel that is held shut by five (5) aluminum stud fasteners. Releasing the stud
fasteners will allow the hinged panel to be opened for easy access to and removal of the cables for use,
NOTE
When not in continual use, cables should be cleaned and kept in the
cable storage area of the carrying case to prevent loss or damage.
