Dingo Reference Manual
4
Introduction
Please read the User Guide before reading this
manual.
In most cases, the User Guide provides all the
information needed for effective installation of
the Dingo, and there is no need for the user to
read this Reference Manual.
Some users will require further information. This
manual provides a detailed technical description
of the operation of the controller. This manual
assumes more technical knowledge than the User
Guide.
If you are in any doubt, it is recommended you do not
adjust the advanced settings described in this manual.
Incorrect adjustment may reduce the effectiveness of
your Dingo and could damage your battery.
All voltage values used in this manual assume
a 12V system. Scale voltages for other system
voltages (e.g. 24V system = voltages x 2, 48V
system = voltages x 4)
Additional Installation Notes
Ensure that you have followed the installation
instructions on pages 3-5 of the User Guide. The
Dingo can be used for system voltages up to 48V.
It is safe to connect the power before setting the
system voltage, even with a 48 volt battery.
Always mount the Dingo vertically with clear
airflow around the bottom and top of the case.
In hot conditions, do not put it in a sealed
enclosure, as this will restrict the airflow around
it. Do not install the Dingo in direct sunlight in
hot conditions.
Please consult section A.4 to determine the
performance that can be expected in hot
conditions.
The Dingo is specified for up to 60°C ambient
temperature. At full power, in high temperature
ambients, the LCD display may occasionally reach
a high enough temperature to become darker and
may become unreadable. It will return to normal
when it cools down.
