    The internal circuit board is conformal coated to help prevent corrosion. However, a failure that is caused by corrosion is not covered by the warranty. WARNING: This device is not tested for Ignition Protection. Do not install this device in a gasoline engine room or any other area that requires an ignition protection rating.

    One of the the advantages of this controller is the advanced combining options that are available to the installer. It is best to choose this method when designing systems where 25 amps or less are required. For this configuration see Figure 2-5. Solenoid Drive - If more battery combining capacity (or Ampacity) is required the installer can employ any solenoid, so long as the coil of that solenoid consumes less than 2 Amps. The source that provides power to the solenoid must not exceed 40 VDC. This circuit switches DC Negative to the accessory terminal block position #4 entitled Solenoid (-). For this configuration please see Figure 2-6. ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd...

    1 : The wires connected to #1 - MAIN POS (+), #2 - AUX POS (+) and #3 - COM NEG (-) should be sized for 30 amps and the same size. The battery positive #1 - MAIN POS (+) and #2 - AUX POS (+) lines should be protected with a 30 Amp fast blow fuse. Wire size should be appropriate for the application. ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd...

  • Page 10 Status LED should be Illuminated. If not, please refer to the troubleshooting section. note 1 : The wires connected to #1 - MAIN POS (+), #2 - AUX POS (+) and #3 - COM NEG (-) should be sized for 30 amp. The battery positive lines should be protected with a 30 Amp fast blow fuse. Wire size should be appropriate for the application. note 2 : The size of this wire will likely be determined by considering the 3% voltage drop requirements of the charging circuit. Always consult the solenoid manufacturers installation documentation. ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd...

  • Page 14: Adjusting The Me-Sbc

    If this voltage is reached, the ME-SBC disconnects the batteries and prevents the high volt- age from affecting the other battery. Default = 14.0 / 28.0 VDC (12V /24 V system) ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd...

  • Page 15: Limitations Of Throughput

    MOSFET lowers to a safe sustainable level. note 1: When the ME-SBC is in the reduced output mode it only lets through about 1/2 of the available amperage. It will continue to operate like this until the total available Amps safely drops to a level the ME-SBC can conduct continuously. With a current probe, it may look like 50% of the rated output. ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd...

    Mode and check status again. If the ME-SBC still toggling it may be defective, otherwise it’s probably operating normally and protecting itself. Turn the knobs fully counterclockwise until they Adjustments are stop and then adjust up to the setting. If they unresponsive don’t stop or don’t move call Enerdrive.
