Model and Operating Modes
Series: BIC-2200; Complete ordering model: BIC-2200-96CAN.
Communication: CANBus; Factory operating mode: Bidirectional automatic detection.
Typical direction-switching time: 1 ms.
AC-to-DC operation takes energy from the AC grid to supply a DC load or charge a battery. DC-to-AC operation returns energy from the DC side to the connected grid. Reverse operation synchronizes to the AC mains and is not a standalone AC source.
Automatic mode selects AC-to-DC when the set voltage exceeds the load voltage, and DC-to-AC when the set voltage is below the load voltage. The default target voltage is the model’s rated DC voltage. Use the operating characteristic and adjustment instructions for the actual load or battery.
This CANBus version also supports manually selected battery charging/discharging through DIRECTION_CTRL. Battery operation and its current settings are described separately below.
Applications include battery formation and grading, V2G systems, electric-vehicle and scooter charging stations, marine charger modules, kinetic-energy recovery, battery testing, electrolysis and wastewater-treatment equipment. Match the complete system to its application and grid connection requirements.

The 1800 W figure is the rated DC input power in energy-recovery operation; the AC output has its own typical rating and conversion losses. Above 96 V on the DC side, current is automatically reduced to respect the constant-power limit. Below 96 V, the maximum DC input current limits available power. Apply the input-voltage and temperature limits as well.
The AC output voltage and frequency are set by the connected mains. Anti-islanding protection shuts down the AC output when an islanding condition is detected; re-power to recover.
Protection and Recovery
Forward overload threshold
105–115% of rated output power
Overvoltage shutdown range
134–157 V
Short-circuit protection
Output-current shutdown; re-power to recover
Overtemperature protection
Output-voltage shutdown; automatic recovery after cooling
Anti-islanding protection
AC-output shutdown; re-power to recover
In AC-to-DC overload, constant-current limiting is followed by output shutdown 5 seconds after the DC output voltage goes low; re-power to recover. DC-to-AC operation uses a constant-power design, so the forward overload sequence is not a reverse-mode operating allowance.
Overvoltage shuts down the output voltage and requires re-powering to recover. The Fault signal also reports the specified AC failure, overload, short-circuit, temperature, overvoltage, fan-lock and islanding conditions.
Cooling, Environment and Derating
Horizontal thermal curve: 100% load from −30 to +45°C, then declining to 50% at +70°C; AC-input load curve: 100% from 180 to 264 VAC, at 60 Hz.
Working temperature: −30 to +70°C, subject to derating; Working humidity: 20–90% RH, non-condensing.
Storage: −40 to +85°C; 10–95% RH, non-condensing; Temperature coefficient: ±0.03%/°C from 0 to 45°C.
Vibration: 10–500 Hz, 2G; 10 minutes/cycle, 60 minutes each on X, Y and Z.
Keep both built-in fans and the illustrated airflow path unobstructed. Apply thermal and input limits together. For fan-cooled operation above 2000 m, reduce permissible ambient temperature by 5°C per additional 1000 m; this note does not state a maximum operating altitude.

CAN connection
CN47 pin 7 CANH; pin 8 CANL; isolated GND-AUX reference
Battery mode is available only with the CANBus model. The two default battery currents differ from the general forward and reverse current limits and can be adjusted through communication. Configure voltage, current and conversion direction for the actual battery and its permitted operating range.
CN46 pin 6 is the CAN-model C/D Control signal: high 4.5–5.5 V corresponds to charging, and low −0.5 to +0.5 V corresponds to discharging. It references isolated GND-AUX. Use the documented CAN control procedure rather than applying an unspecified control voltage to a signal pin.

DC-OK output
CN46 pin 8
Fault output
CN46 pin 9
T-ALARM output
CN46 pin 10
NC
12 V auxiliary rating
12 V, 0.5 A; ±5% tolerance; 150 mVp-p ripple
Short the remote ON-OFF connection between pin 5 and pin 3 to turn the output ON; open it to turn the output OFF. The connection supports the specified electrical signal or dry contact. The auxiliary outputs are not switched by this remote control; use GND-AUX on pins 2 or 4 as their return.
DC-OK, Fault and T-ALARM are isolated, output-only TTL signals referenced to GND-AUX. High is 4.5–5.5 V, low is −0.5 to +0.5 V, and maximum sourcing current is 4 mA.
DC-OK is high when output voltage is at or below the catalogue 80% ±5% threshold and low when it is at or above that threshold. Fault is high at AC input ≤165 Vrms or for OLP, SCP, OTP, OVP, AC failure, fan lock or islanding protection; it is low at AC input ≥175 Vrms with normal operation.
T-ALARM is high when internal temperature exceeds the alarm limit or any fan fails; it is low when temperature and fans are normal. Alarm outputs must not be driven as control inputs.
CN47 Parallel and Communication Connections
CN47 connector
HRS DF11-10DP-2DS or equivalent
CN47 pins 1, 2
DA differential parallel-control signal
CN47 pins 3, 4
DB differential parallel-control signal
CN47 pins 5, 6
GND: negative-output signal reference; not a load connection
CN47 pin 7
CANH
CN47 pin 8
CANL
CN47 pins 9, 10
GND-AUX; isolated from main output
DA and DB are non-isolated parallel-control signals referenced to CN47 GND. This negative-output signal return must not connect directly to the load. CANBus, where fitted, uses isolated GND-AUX instead; do not interchange the two reference grounds.
Follow the connector orientation shown in the mechanical drawing. Join DA to DA, DB to DB and the parallel GND references between units. Twist long CN47 signal lines in pairs to reduce noise.
Parallel Operation and Three-Phase Distribution
Maximum parallel units: 9; Maximum parallel output current: Rated current per unit × number of units × 0.95.
Single-unit SW50 setting: ON; CN47 parallel connection not fitted; Multi-unit SW50 settings: First and last units ON; all intermediate units OFF.
Use short, large-gauge output wiring. In a parallel system, the unit with the highest output-voltage setting is the master and determines the common DC-bus voltage. Observe each unit’s voltage, current and power limits as well as the 0.95 total-current factor. Below 5% of the total rated current, current sharing may be unbalanced.
In a three-phase, four-wire system, distribute the individual BIC units evenly across the phases and neutral; the nine-unit example uses three units per phase. Each unit still receives single-phase L-to-N voltage within 180–264 VAC, with FG correctly connected. The drawing shows 220 VAC phase-to-neutral and 380 VAC phase-to-phase; it does not permit 380 VAC across one unit’s AC terminals.
