ERC-12-15 Emergency Relay

The emergency relay/charger is a device for providing immediate backup power to communications equipment in case of temporary loss of mains power. the power supply or power supply fails. Additionally, this will allow the power supply to act as a "trickle" battery charger without any additional modifications.

When loss of DC voltage is detected by the ERC, it uses a Fast-acting SPDT. relay to automatically switch the DC input of the equipment to a battery backup to allow continuous operation. When power is returned to service, the ERC disengages the battery and brings power back online to provide DC voltage. While the power supply is operating normally, a small portion of the output current is directed to the battery to slowly charge it and keep it at full voltage.n. (Note: The battery float voltage will be kept 0.7 volts lower than the supply voltage.)

Note: If the power is turned off clean over an extended period of time, the backup battery may discharge significantly when powering the radio. When power is returned to service, the ERC trickle charge rate may be insufficient to restore full battery charge in a timely manner. In this case, an additional charger may be required to fully charge the battery.

Installation

Select a suitable location as close to the battery as possible where there is no probability of accidental contact and short circuit of the terminals. The ERC can be mounted vertically, horizontally or even upside down, if necessary, without affecting its operation. Two #10 sheet metal or wood screws will be required. Mounting on a metal surfaceallique is acceptable because the inputs and outputs are isolated from the mounting bracket.

Note: If the battery is stored in an unvented enclosure, it is not recommended to Users mount the ERC in the same enclosure. As with any relay, it should not be located in an area where battery gases or any other potentially explosive gases may be present.

Wiring

Wiring should be as direct as possible. Make sure the battery terminals are free of corrosion. Determine the correct gauge wire using the information below. Wire length is the total path length (ERC to radio + power to ERC) or (ERC to radio + battery to ERC), whichever is longer.

Wire length 1 m wire = #14 AWG
10 ft wire length = #12 AWG
15 ft wire length = #10 AWG
Length of 20 foot wires = #10 AWG

Use the provided crimp ring terminal connectors to secure the wiring to the ERC. Models ERC-12-15 and ERC-24-15 are supplied with yellow plastic terminal covers, which must be reinstalled after wiring to avoid accidental short circuit.

Newmar ERC-12-15 Emergency Relay Product Description

ERC-12-15 Emergency Relay

The emergency relay/charger is a device that allows to provide immediate backup power to communications equipment. in the event of temporary loss of mains power or power failure. Additionally, this will allow the power supply to act as a "trickle" battery charger without any additional modifications.

When loss of DC voltage is detected by the ERC, it uses a Fast-acting SPDT. relay to automatically switch the DC input of the equipment to a battery backup to allow continuous operation. When power is returned to service, the ERC disengages the battery and brings power back online to provide DC voltage. While the power supply is operating normally, a small portion of the output current is directed to the battery to slowly charge it andmaintain at full tension. (Note: The battery float voltage will be maintained at 0.7 volts lower than the supply voltage.)

Note: If the power supply is disconnected for an extended period of time, the backup battery may discharge significantly when powering the radio. When power is returned to service, the ERC trickle charge rate may be insufficient to restore full battery charge in a timely manner. In this case, an additional charger may be required to fully charge the battery.
