Power cables
The system requires power cables to connect to the battery and the load. These are not
normally part of the ASC+ system and should be ordered separately as required.
Installation
Installation should only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel who are familiar with
sophisticated vehicle electrical systems. They should have a full knowledge of the vehicle
into which the ASC+ is being installed, and a full understanding of the ASC+ system. We
strongly recommend that the installation engineer read all of this installation section before
commencing the installation.
Choosing a location
The ASC+ is intended for use in a sheltered location only, and must not be exposed to road
spray, pressure washing (or similar cleaning processes), water spillage or areas where
condensation is likely. Areas subject to high temperature or vibration must also be avoided if
performance and reliability are not to be impaired.
Control module installation
The controller module must be mounted in the cab area; a location behind the dashboard is
ideal.
Contactor installation
The contactor assemblies may be mounted close to the batteries / loads, but exposure to
road spray, or water from any source must be prevented
.
Switch installation
See separate manual Part No 13369 for switch assembly and installation.

WARNING: Explosive gasses may be generated by a battery on charge. To prevent
ignition, allow time for gasses to disperse before attempting to connect this unit.
Before beginning the electrical installation, be aware that the battery isolation
contactor is a latching type, and may initially rest in either the ON or OFF state. If ON,
then the load stud will be live as soon as battery is connected to the battery stud.
