1) Security
-
It is mendatory to connect the terminal
otherwise the Isolator may be destroyed.
-
Before use, please read the full manual available on our website.
-
Installation instructions are contained in the NFC 15-100 standard.
-
Installation must be carried out by a professional electrician.
-
It is essential to select the correct cable cross-sections and to check the tightness periodically.
Hot surface, never put anything against the RCE during and after utilisation
2) Introduction
The RCE+ is used to split an input power source (alternator, solar regulator or hydrogenerator, etc.) to
two or three consumers (batteries, consumers). If you use batteries at the output of the RCE+, then
each batteries will be isolated from the others. The technology used, based on MOSFET transistors,
ensures zero voltage drop between inputs and outputs. The isolator works with 12VDC and 24VDC
voltages, and also allows the use of LiFePO (Lithium) batteries.
All outputs are equivalent and can therefore be interchanged.
It is imperative that the choice of the isolator rating be greater than the source output current. For
example, for a 130A alternator, choose a 180A RCE+.
3) Installation
Beware: It is mendatory to connect the terminal
installation, otherwise the Isolator may be destroyed.
a) Installation without IG (Ignition) terminal
When the alternator input source does not require excitation.
b) Installation with IG (Ignition) terminal
When the isolator's input source requires an excitation voltage, an electrical connection must be made
between the starter battery and the terminal marked IG (dotted line). This link must use a contact-
controlled relay to close the circuit for the duration of the excitation and open it the rest of the time.
