Page 2: Important Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Please read this manual thoroughly before use and store in a safe place for future reference. WARNINGS • Explosive gases may escape from the battery during charging. Prevent flames and sparks and provide adequate ventilation. • Before charging, read the instructions. •... - Page 3 • MULTI-CHEMISTRY CHARGING • The IDCX charger supports a variety of battery types, including standard automotive batteries and newer lithium-based batteries. For automotive batteries, it offers tailored charging profiles for AGM, GEL, WET, Calcium, and LiFePO4 chemistries. Users should ensure compatibility with non-automotive lithium batteries by checking the battery’s datasheet to confirm that the IDCX’s charging profile is suitable before connecting.

Page 5: Installation
INSTALLATION MOUNTING • IDCX’s IP68 & IP69K tough & rugged design allows for the unit to be mounted where best suits the application. IDCX entire PCB is potted using a high-quality thermal compound inside the aluminium extrusion; this ensures IDCX is impervious to vibration, dust, moisture and extreme temperatures. - Page 6 If your vehicle has a fixed voltage or temperature compensating alternator installed, do not make connection to the Ignition Input Blade Terminal. If your vehicle has a smart (variable voltage) alternator installed, the Ignition Input Blade Terminal must be connected to the vehicle’s ignition. At 12.2V ALT voltage, the IDCX will only operate when the vehicle’s ignition is turned on (may take up to 2 minutes to start charging).

Page 13: Frequently Asked Questions
INTELLI-RV COMPATIBLITY MODE The IDCX can also be integrated with our PROJECTA INTELLI-RV power management system (P/N: PM210, PM310, PM410). To use IDCX with the Intelli-RV system, initially configure the IDCX by pressing the Mode ( ) button continuously 10 times or more within 10 seconds to enter Intelli-RV Compatibility Mode. - Page 14 I have connected the IDCX properly but the power LED “ ” does not come Check the cable size. The IDCX 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 IDCX is attempting to start up.
- Page 15 Why is LED flashing amber though my battery is connected? While IDCX is in the process of recognizing (about 2minutes) the battery, LED is in amber state. It is also in the same color if battery is not present or battery voltage is very low.
