Introduction
The model BCD 610 Battery Charger charges either 12, 24, 32 or 48 VDC batteries from a
110, 250 or 300 VDC power source. Other battery voltages up to 72 volts are also available by
special order. The all new Current Mode switching design offers increased power and reliabil-
ity in a compact package. Extra input and output ltering reduce EMI to extremely low levels.
Reliability features include an input fuse, thermal shutdown, current limiting, reverse battery
hookup protection and output short circuit shutdown with automatic recovery. The output
voltage is easily adjusted 1.0 volts above or below the standard output voltage to accommo-
date special charging requirements. High quality digital meters can be added (factory option)
to allow monitoring of charging current and charging voltage.
