IC40 lights are not on. I tested the power center on the AC side. All the way to the PCB I have power. The green LED is not lit. This is the second time the board will have gone bad and they are not giving the boards away, if you know what I mean. Can I just power the IC40 with and converter. It's 400 watts @ 24 VDC. The output to the IC40 is 200 watts, 24 to 39 VDC. Also what is the D- and D+ wires used for? I know they are data wires, but what data. Thanks!

D,
The power center is designed to work with an EasyTouch automation system.. The EasyTouch uses the data lines to communicate with the Power Center.
If you are powering the Cell when the pump is not running, it could explode if the flow switch fails. Does not happen often, but has several times before.
24 VDC is on the very lower end of the operating voltage.. My system measures 40 volts DC, when the cell is not making chlorine, and 35 volts DC when it is making chlorine.
Does your surge card (in the power center) not have a fuse??? If not, it is an older unit.
I am not sure if you can use a switching power supply to power the cell or not. Try it and see..
Thanks,
Jim R.

Jim thanks for the reply. I turn my intellichor power center on with a relay in my easytouch panel. I have it turned on when I turn on my second IC40 that is connected to the easytouch. I have 2 IC40's, my pool is 42,000 gallons. I use 2 for redundancy and also not to over work a single IC40. So I don't think the data wires are used in the intellichor power center. So, if I use a converter that has 40 vdc output the IC should work?
D,
I don't know for sure, but would assume so.. Without the data lines all you can do is turn it on and off, you will have to set the output at the cell itself.
Thanks,
