General & Safety Information; General Introduction - Projecta PMDCS30 Manual

1. GENERAL & SAFETY INFORMATION
This section contains important safety and operation instructions. Please read and
retain this manual for future reference.
The DC-DC charger should be installed by a qualified Auto Electrician with
knowledge of automotive electrical systems. The following recommendations are to
be conducted prior to installation:
• The unit MUST not be disassembled for Safety and Warranty reasons.
• The DC-DC charger is designed for internal installation ONLY.
• Recommended cable size for input and output connections to unit need to be
followed. Output charging current of the DC-DC charger will depend on wire size of
the auxiliary circuits in the Charging Vehicle.
• Check and verify the input voltage is within the specifications of the unit. (Refer to
Specification table).
• Check and confirm the circuit connections to the Alternator or Vehicle battery and
Input to the INTELLI-GRID / INTELLI-RV (if connected) and the polarity is correct.
• Use the shortest possible cable lengths to connect the Input and Output circuits to
the unit.
• Ensure there is sufficient ventilation around the heatsink of the unit.
2. INTRODUCTION

2.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION

PMDCS DC-DC chargers are designed to integrate with INTELLI-RV or INTELLI-GRID
battery/power management systems, but they can also function as standalone dual
battery chargers. They come with stripped and tinned, labelled input and output
wiring for ease of installation.
FEATURES
• Adaptive charge – adapts to smaller cables or excessive runs by adjusting the charge
rate to avoid overloading wiring.
• Non-isolation design with maximum efficiency of 96%.
• Euro-6 engine (smart alternator) compatible.
• Built-in multi-stage charging algorithm.
• Built-in automatic temperature and voltage compensated charging.
• Built-in fuse protection.
• Built-in heat sink for cooling.
• RS485 communication port for future options and upgrades.
• Protection against input/output over voltage, output over current, output short
circuit, internal over temperature, battery over temperature.
• Adjust current outputs and select battery type via dip switches.
