Installing the Charging Device
The DCC Pro Charging Device has been designed to cope with arduous
conditions and can be installed in the vehicle’s engine compartment. Care must
be taken when performing the installation to ensure performance, longevity and
of course, safety. Installing the device too close to a turbocharger for example
may not only force the device into thermal shut down but could also result in
catastrophic failure.
Select a suitable location where the Charging Device can be mounted ensuring
adequate ventilation to the heatsink ns, free from excessive vibration and heat.
Blocking the heatsink ribs could cause thermal shutdown. The electronics are
enclosed in a sealed housing however the device, where possible, should be
installed in a protected environment. The Charging Device is NOT designed to
be installed in a location where water can regularly ‘short’ between the
terminals.
As it is of solid state design, the Charging Device can be mounted in any position
vertically or horizontally. It should be oriented so that the LED Glow Ring
indicator is clearly visible to the installer/operator. It must be installed on a hard
at surface – not an upholstered or insulated surface. Ensure at least 30mm of
clearance all around from any other equipment.
The Charging Device should be xed with appropriate fasteners ensuring all four
anchor holes are utilised. The mounting hole diameter is 4.5mm and it is
recommended that an M4 fastener installed into a rivet nut or with a locking nut
is the best solution.
NOTE: Remove the terminal cover
before using any tools to fasten the
Charging Device in position.
