- Page 8 SYSTEM PLANNING WHAT YOU WILL NEED Appropriate cables, lugs and heatshrink for auxiliary, start battery, common ground, solar and vehicle ignition (if required) connections (see below and page Fuses for auxiliary and start battery (see page Appropriate tools and consumables, including a suitable crimping tool, screwdriver, hex-head tool, power drill, common fasteners, cable cutters, pliers and cable ties.
- Page 9 NOTE: The auxiliary output cable should be no more than 1.5 m (4.9') in length. The BCDCX12025 and BCDCX12050 can carry peak currents up to 30 / 55 A. To carry this current effectively it is important to select the cable gauge based on the length of cable run required. Refer to the table below for appropriate cable sizes.
- Page 10 CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION CABLE MANAGEMENT During installation, ensure there is adequate spacing around the Main Unit to allow for strain-relief and cable management once cabling is complete. See page 17 for further information. COMMON GROUND Consider that the common ground connection and all components in your setup must share a common electrical ground for correct system operation.

- Page 12 INSTALLATION — MOUNTING MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS The Main Unit can be installed in the engine bay of a vehicle, along a chassis rail or in the cabin of the vehicle. Mount as close as possible to the auxiliary battery. There should be no more than 1.5 m (4.9') of cable length between the Main Unit and auxiliary battery.
- Page 13 They are suitable for the selected mounting surface and; They have a clearance-fit through the mounting holes on the Main Unit. REDARC recommend mounting the Main Unit using four M6 fasteners and suitable tools based of the type of fasteners selected. Washers are not required for mounting.
- Page 14 Before making any connections to the Main Unit, assemble each cable with the appropriate sized lug using heatshrink as demonstrated below. REDARC recommend using heatshrink as it protects the cable and lug connection from harsh environments, sharp cutting edges and abrasion.
- Page 15 CABLE CONNECTIONS AUXILIARY BATTERY CABLE Connect to the auxiliary battery positive (+) Fuse terminal. Mount a MIDI fuse no more than 100 mm (3.9") away from the battery terminal. Auxiliary Battery COMMON GROUND Connect to a ground point, such as a ground stud on the metal of the bodywork.
- Page 16 SOLAR CABLE Connect to either a 12 V or 24 V solar panel. Ensure that the solar panel ground is connected to the common ground on the vehicle. IMPORTANT: Connect to unregulated solar panel/s only. Fixed Solar Panel/s 12 V 24 V Portable Solar Panel/s 12 V...
- Page 17 STRAIN-RELIEF AND CABLE MANAGEMENT PROTECT AND SECURE THE CABLES Secure the cables to a fixed point close to the Main Unit, cable ties, cable clips and P-clips are recommended. Flexible conduit can be used to manage and protect cabling running in the same direction. An example is shown below.
