Key Features and Advantages
Memory Preservation: The IC695ACC402CA ensures uninterrupted power to the CPE 330 CPU during AC outages, allowing critical user memory to be written to non-volatile storage6. This feature is essential for maintaining process continuity in applications like chemical reactors and power generation turbines.
Hot-Swap Capability: Users can replace the module while the system is operational, minimizing downtime during maintenance cycles. This is particularly valuable in continuous-process industries where even brief interruptions can cause significant losses.
Self-Diagnostic LEDs: Real-time status indicators for input power (“IN”), charging progress (“STAT”), and output voltage (“OUT”) enable quick troubleshooting and proactive maintenance. Amber or red LED alerts signal nearing end-of-life or internal faults, prompting timely replacement.
Wide Input Range: Compatible with 18–30 VDC grids, the module adapts to diverse power environments, eliminating the need for region-specific variants. Its high-efficiency design (≥85%) reduces energy consumption and heat dissipation.
Rugged Construction: Built to withstand extreme temperatures (-40°C to 85°C) and humidity, the IC695ACC402CA is ideal for offshore platforms, mining operations, and other harsh industrial settings.
Applications
The GE IC695ACC402CA is widely deployed in scenarios requiring reliable backup power for critical control systems:
- Manufacturing: Ensuring data integrity during transient power fluctuations in automotive assembly lines and pharmaceutical production facilities.
- Oil & Gas: Supporting uninterrupted operation of distributed control systems (DCS) in offshore rigs and refineries, where sudden power loss could compromise safety.
- Power Generation: Preserving turbine control parameters and diagnostic data during grid instability, preventing costly downtime in power plants.
- Water Treatment: Maintaining pump control logic and SCADA configurations during electrical grid outages in wastewater treatment plants.
- Transportation: Enabling real-time diagnostics in rail and automotive testing facilities by safeguarding data acquisition systems.
Its compact size and modular design make it suitable for space-constrained environments, such as control cabinets in food processing plants and packaging machinery.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation:
- Verify the input voltage matches the module’s rating (18–30 VDC). Use shielded cables for power connections and ensure proper grounding to minimize electromagnetic interference.
- Secure the IC695ACC402CA in a DIN rail-mounted rack, aligning its connectors with the backplane. Tighten terminal screws to 0.5 N·m to prevent loose connections.
Maintenance Recommendations:
- Conduct quarterly inspections to check LED status and voltage outputs. Replace the module if the “STAT” LED blinks amber (nearing end-of-life) or red (internal fault).
- Clean dust from vents using compressed air to maintain optimal thermal performance. Store spare modules in a static-free environment at temperatures between -20°C and 70°C.
- Replace the capacitor pack every 5 years or as indicated by diagnostic alerts to ensure consistent backup reliability.
