Application - intervolt DCC Pro Installation & Operation Manual

Application

The DCC Pro has been designed speci cally for use in 4WDs, RVs, buses,
coaches, caravans, campers or any vehicle with a 12VDC electrical system
where there is a requirement to charge one or more secondary (auxiliary)
batteries using the starting (main) battery as the primary source. It is not
designed or warranted for use in marine applications.
The DCC pro utilises the three step or 'stage' charging principle for maintaining
an auxiliary battery by using the main battery as the primary source and solar
power as the supplementary source. The three stages combined represent a full
charging cycle. Although there are many variants of this concept, the basic
three stages, when implemented correctly, are all that is required to ensure
proper charging of any auxiliary battery. The stages are categorised as boost,
absorption and oat, details of which are explained in the appendix of this
manual. In boost stage the charger is operating in constant current (CC) mode
and in absorption and oat stages it is in constant Voltage (CV) mode.
The DCC Pro is pre-programmed with charging regimes for the following
battery types which can be selected in the con guration (set-up) process:
• Standard Lead Acid – sealed and ooded cell versions
• Absorbed Glass Mat – aka AGM
• Geli ed Electrolyte – aka GEL
• Lead Calcium
• LiFePO4 – with Battery Management System (BMS) only (not suitable for
other Lithium battery types).
The information on the following pages of this manual detail the functions of
the DCC Pro and the settings which are best suited for your application and
installation. If you are performing the installation it is important to read this
manual in its entirety. If you are the operator it is only necessary to read the
'Operation' section. The appendix section contains speci c information on the
fundamentals of the DCC Pro and is optional but recommended reading.
NOTE: It is not essential to use the Remote Display included. The DCC Pro's
Charging Device is autonomous and will operate with or without the
Remote Display connected. It is necessary to use the Remote Display for
programming purposes, however it is not necessary to permanently install
the display if it is not desired.
