Installation - Projecta IDC25X Manual

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING
• IDC25X's IP68 & IP69K tough & rugged design allows for the unit to be mounted
where best suits the application. IDC25X entire PCB is potted using a high-
quality thermal compound inside the aluminium extrusion; this ensures IDC25X is
impervious to vibration, dust, moisture and extreme temperatures. Though tough, it
is advisable however to keep the charger as far away from exhaust, turbos, or any
other high temperature components to ensure improved performance.
WIRING
• To make reliable and durable electrical connections, battery cables will need to be
made to the correct length. Reducing the wires' or cables' lengths properly will help
to avoid unexpected voltage drops and noise. Cable lugs should be crimped and
insulated to the cable before connection to the brass posts and spade terminals.
Minimal cable size for wiring up to 12m:
Input Name
Alternator Input Post
Solar Input Post
Auxiliary Output Post
Common Ground Output Post
Ignition Input Blade Terminal
LIN BUS Input Blade Terminal
Battery Temperature 1 Input Blade Terminal
Battery Temperature 2 Input Blade Terminal
Auxiliary LED Input Blade Terminal
Please increase the cable size for cables beyond 12m length as required. Contact
Technical Support for assistance on 1800 422 422.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable (Earth) from the vehicle's starting battery
or disconnect power to the trailer. Note: To prevent the loss of vehicles electronic
memories, radio pre-sets & security codes, it is recommended that an "Electrical
System Memory Protector" be used.
2. Connect the Auxiliary Battery positive (+) terminal to the IDC25X auxiliary battery
output post. Fit at a fuse (50A for IDC25X) to the cable as close as possible to the
Auxiliary Battery positive (+) terminal.
3. Connect the Auxiliary Battery (-) terminal to the IDC25X common ground output
post. Alternatively connect both Auxiliary battery negative (-) terminals and IDC25X
common ground output post to the vehicle's chassis ground. After the Auxiliary
battery has been connected, check LED indicators. Do not proceed if either there is
Output Overvoltage alarm (red LED) or the LEDs do not turn ON.
4. Connect the Starter Battery positive (+) terminal to the IDC25X Alternator Input Post
( ). Fit at a fuse (50A for IDC25X) to the cable as close as possible to the Starter
Battery positive (+) terminal.
