Wiring Installation: 

 

1.

 

Remove the DC compartment cover by removing the two screws located on the top surface 
of the unit. 

2.

 

Connect one end of the positive wire (red wire) to the CH1 (Auxiliary Battery) charger 
positive terminal and the other end to battery fuse. Keep the connection between the 
auxiliary battery and charger as short as possible. 

3.

 

Run another positive wire from the fuse to the auxiliary battery positive terminal. 

4.

 

Connect the negative (black) wire and between the CH1 charger negative terminal and the 
auxiliary battery negative terminal. 

5.

 

Use the same method to connect to the CH3 (Engine Battery) and CH2 (Solar Array/Panel) if 
required. 

6.

 

For vehicles using Smart Regenerative charging systems (SRCS - Euro 6 Compliant), connect 
the Ignition Start terminal to the Ignition Switch (KL15) via a 1A fuse. 

7.

 

Place the DC Compartment cover back to the original position and secure the cover using the 
two screws provided.
