WIRING INSTALLATION:

KADCDC25A
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal (-) from the starting battery of the vehicle or
main battery of the caravan (for trailer installations).
2. Determine the path for the cable to run from the auxiliary battery to the mounted
Charger and then to the starting battery.
3. Connect the BROWN 8mm² wire marked "OUTPUT" to the auxiliary battery positive
terminal (+) and ensure an inline 50A fuse is installed as close as possible to the
auxiliary battery (Use SKU: KAMAXIFHAND or SKU: KAFUSE for easy fuse installation).
4. Connect the BLACK 8mm² wire marked "GROUND" to the auxiliary battery negative
terminal (-). If a common ground point exists the negative of the auxiliary battery and
the "GROUND" wire of the Charger, both (-) wires can be connected to this point.
5. Connect the RED 8mm² wire marked "ALT-IN" to the starter battery positive terminal
(+) ensuring a 50A fuse is installed a close as possible to the starter battery (Use SKU:
KAMAXIFHAND or SKU: KAFUSE for easy fuse installation).
6. Ensure the starter battery's ground connection is common to the auxiliary battery
ground connection. IMPORTANT NOTE: For trailers or caravans it is important that the
ground connection does not rely only on the tow ball. For trailer connections we
recommend using our KADBWK8MMPP wiring kits on both vehicle and trailer or
caravan to ensure a high quality connection and cable throughout the installation.
