Choose The Location; Route The Control Cable; Install The Monitor Panel; Installing The Relays - Intellitec Battery Disconnect BD0 Installation Manual

CHOOSE THE LOCATION

The Monitor Panel is the small lighted display which is installed in the living area of the coach. It should be visible and
reachable by occupants. One typical location is on an interior wall near the entrance door of the coach. It should be
noticeable as you enter and leave the coach to remind you to connect/disconnect the battery(s).
Be sure there are no structural members or other obstructions at the location; there must be at least 3/4 inch of clear space
behind the panel. When selecting the location, bear in mind that a cable must be routed from this panel to the battery
compartment.
MARK AND CUT THE OPENING
IMPORTANT: If your kit is for a one battery system (BD-0 or BD-1), use the template for the smaller panel.
The outside edge of the template should be the same size as the Monitor Panel
Tape the Template for the Monitor Panel over the chosen location. Mark the centers of the four mounting holes using an
awl or punch and mark the outline of the large hole. Carefully cut out the hole along the dotted line. Cut only as deeply as
necessary, being careful not to cut anything which may be behind the wall such as wiring.

ROUTE THE CONTROL CABLE

The Control Cable connects the Monitor Panel to the Disconnect Relay(s) and to the vehicle ground. On BD-2/BD-3
Models it also connects to the ignition. Locate where the relays will be mounted (see Install the Battery Disconnect
Relay(s).) Make a path for the cable and put it through. Be sure the PC board (flat) connector is at the Monitor Panel cut
out. Leave a foot of slack at the panel end so that it can be plugged in and secure the cable to the inside of the wall. It is not
necessary to run this cable inside conduit, or take other special precautions. b

INSTALL THE MONITOR PANEL

Plug the Monitor Panel connector end of the Control Cable onto the Monitor Panel. Note that the connector end only fits
one way on the Monitor Panel circuit board. Arrange the Control Cable in the wall while inserting the Monitor Panel in thru
hole. Attach the Monitor Panel with four Phillips-head wood screws in the locations previously marked.
INSTALLING THE DISCONNECT RELAY(S)
The relay is the electro mechanical switch that actually disconnects the battery. It should be located near the battery for
wiring simplicity. When installed, the relay will be inserted "in-line" with the cable coming from the positive (+) terminal of
the battery. Keep this in mind when choosing a location.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can cause severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. In case of
contact, flush with large amounts of cool clean water and contact a physician. Batteries also produce explosive gases
that can cause blindness or other serious injury. Keep all sparks, flames and smoking materials away from batteries
and always shield eyes when near batteries. Keep area well ventilated.
Before proceeding, disconnect all sources of power. Unplug the coach and turn off the generator.
