- Page 2 Allows two energy sources to power the IDC45 simultaneously. Solar input takes precedence if solar and alternator inputs are present. When solar input cannot provide enough energy to the load, the IDC45 will draw power from solar and alternator simultaneously.
- Page 3 PROTECTIVE FEATURES Spark-Free Protection The IDC45 will not start charging the battery (no output) unless the load is securely connected. It prevents the output leads from sparking due to accidental short circuit making the charger safer to use around batteries.

INSTALLATION MOUNTING The rugged design of the IDC45 affords it to be mounted wherever best suits the application. By using advanced potting technology the unit is resistant to shock, vibration, dust and water allows for under-bonnet or in-vehicle installation. Clever `side extrusions’... - Page 7 6. When 12V solar panels are present, connect the solar panel positive terminal (+) to the IDC45 Solar Input cable (green colour). Fit a 80A fuse to the cable as close as possible to the Solar Panel positive (+) terminal.
- Page 8 Keep pressing the button momentarily until the Battery Chemistry LED you want is flashing. After you release the button, your selection is entered and saved. Your selection will be restored automatically even after the IDC45 is fully disconnected and reconnected. The default Battery Chemistry is AGM.
- Page 9 Important: For 24V vehicles, a battery master switch is required to connect a 12V solar panel to the IDC45 solar input. This switch is used to turn the solar panel on and off. When solar power is too low to provide fast charge to the auxiliary battery, by turning...

Page 13: Frequently Asked Questions
This can occur if a small amount of power is used for a long time, for example a map reading light is left on for a week or more. The IDC45 is designed to charge an auxiliary battery from as little as 5 Volts. If the voltage is lower than 5 Volts use a pair of booster cables to connect between two batteries to provide more than 5 Volts to the battery being charged. - Page 14 Q. What is Surface Charge? A. Batteries unused or left discharged for some time build up a resistance to being recharged. When the charger is first connected, these batteries will take a surface charge, and the ‘FULLY CHARGED’ LED will illuminate within a short period of time.
