MOUNTING THE UNIT

The charger is suitable for mounting in the cabin of the vehicle only and
should not be mounted in a location exposed to water or dust ingress e.g.
under bonnet or vehicle exterior. The unit will operate optimally below 55°C
(130°F) with good airflow. At higher temperatures the unit will de-rate output
current up to 80°C (175°F) at which point the unit will turn OFF.
It is important to ensure the charger is mounted as close as possible to the
battery being charged (auxiliary battery). Lithium type (LiFePO
not suitable for engine bay installations.
The charger should be mounted in any orientation (so that the front decal is
visible) using the 4 mounting tabs provided on the heat-sink using zinc plated,
G4.6 M5 Screws.
FUSING
REDARC recommend using MIDI style bolt down fuses as they ensure
a low resistance connection. The REDARC FK40 and FK60 fuse kits are
recommended.
Blade type fuses are not recommended as they can result in a high resistance
connection which causes excess heat and may damage the fuse holder and/
or the wiring.
Self-resetting circuit breakers are not recommended as they may trip
prematurely due to the heat generated by the current flowing through the wires.
CHARGE PROFILE SELECTION
Charge Profile Selection (ORANGE Wire)
The ORANGE wire is used to select the Maximum output voltage. This is
achieved by connecting in the following way:
ƒ To select Profile A leave the ORANGE wire disconnected. This will set the
Maximum voltage to 14.6V.
ƒ To select Profile B connect the ORANGE wire to Common Ground. This
will set the Maximum voltage to 15.0V.
ƒ To select Profile C connect the ORANGE wire to the RED wire (Input
source positive). This will set the Maximum voltage to 15.3 V.
ƒ To select the Li Profile connect the ORANGE wire to the GREEN wire (LED
output). This will set the charger to Lithium mode.
CAUTION
Check the manufacturer's data for your battery and ensure that
the Maximum voltage of the profile you select does not exceed the
manufacturer's recommended maximum charging voltage. If the Maximum
voltage is too high for your battery type, select another charging profile.
