PROTECT YOUR CHARGING SYSTEM!

DIGITAL GROUND
DETECTION
Constantly monitor any ground faults that may occur in
the DC system and receive an alarm. A77 Chargers
provide the capability to disable or digitally adjust the
sensitivity of the ground detection system!
SHORT CIRCUIT
PROTECTION
A77 Battery Chargers are immune against short circuit
faults. The La Marche Battery Charger has the ability to
restore a completely discharged battery.
CHARGER SELF
DIAGNOSTICS
Avoid systems faults! A77 detects and responds to
internal operation faults, equipment and battery
overheat conditions, and charging system faults.
REVERSE POLARITY
A77 Battery charger is self-protected against reverse
polarity connection when supported with this feature.

Modular Enclosure
(IP 65)

La Marche Modular Enclosures are designed to protect electrical and electronic equipment in a
MODULAR variety of different fields and applications. Each enclosure provides full protection from dirt, dust,
ENCLOSURES moisture, oil and other contaminants.

La Marche Stationary Battery Informer (BI) is a breakthrough in technology. This tester can be
installed in any battery system. The BI can determine the condition of your batteries under load
BATTERY without disrupting the system operation. The battery and charger are never disconnected from the
INFORMER load even during the test. The intelligent tester control circuit will not allow testing to take place while
the batteries are being used in an emergency situation or if they are recharging from a recent
discharge. It will also signal if the tester has failed and/or the charging system is inoperative.

La Marche LDC delivers the highest level of circuit protection and offers a robust and innovative
configuration that simplifies any installation. It is available for 24V, 48V and 130-Volt system with the
LOAD DC
option to include a main breaker. The LDC breakers are 2-pole, 250 VDC and minimum 10 kAIC
CENTER
rated. Loads are connected directly to the breaker, in order to establish a more secure and reliable
connection.

Incorporating thermal cooling with an enclosure can lengthen system life and increase the reliability
THERMAL
of the system. La Marche offers different solutions with fans, vents or HVAC to accommodate
MANAGEMENT different environments.

HYDROGEN Battery compartment can be equipped with a hydrogen sensor. Form C contacts will trigger at 1%
SENSOR and 2 % hydrogen concentrations and initiate a forced battery charger shutdown

BATTERY ELECTROLYTE The battery electrolyte level monitoring system saves money by continuously monitoring electrolyte
WATER SENSOR level and eliminating the need for scheduled periodic testing & maintenance.

BREAKER La Marche Disconnect Circuit Breaker Panel is designed to provide a quick and convenient method
PANELS to disconnect a battery, a load or a charger from the DC power system.

La Marche Relay Rack Mounted Battery Trays are beneficial if floor space is confined and batteries
BATTERY are to be mounted directly in the DC power system equipment racks. There are 19" or 23" rack
TRAYS configurations with 500lb capacity for 19" trays and 600lb capacity for 23" trays.
