Frequently Asked Questions - Projecta IDC25X Manual

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Is the IDC25X waterproof?
A. The IDC25X was designed and engineered to the stringent ingress protection
rating of IP68 & IP69K. This allows the IDC25X to meet the toughest of challenges
whether that be river crossings, engine bay washing or direct high pressure
washing of the unit.
Q. Why do the positive cables from the batteries need to be fused?
A. High-Capacity batteries can produce large amounts of power and are capable of
melting cable insulation and catching fire in the case of a short circuit. Each positive
(+) cable connected to the battery must be protected by a fuse located in close
proximity to the battery.
Q. Is the IDC25X safe to use with modern 'electronic' vehicles?
A. The IDC25X has been designed to work with all vehicles, including new vehicles
with EFI and computer management systems. The charger utilises sophisticated
electronics that ensures complete safety for you and your vehicle.
Q. How do I know if the battery is charged?
A. Refer to diagram "LED BATTERY CHARGE STATUS INDICATORS" on page 13 to
identify when the IDC25X is indicating battery charging is complete.
Q. I have connected the IDC25X properly but the power LED " " does not
come on?
A. Check the cable size. The IDC25X is designed to power on and charge from an input
source as little as 9V. If small size cables are used for wiring, the voltage might
drop below 9V when IDC25X is attempting to start up. Please refer to Installation –
wiring section for recommended cable size.
Q. I have connected the IDC25X to solar "
LEDs do not come on?
A. In some cases batteries can be discharged to the point where they have very little
or no voltage. 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 IDC25X is designed
to charge an auxiliary battery from as little as 2 Volts. Refer to Page 13 Output
