Notes

1

Dcout

Output terminal for straight DC-output. This
output is always live, when DCin+ voltage is
connected or when charge is left in the
battery.

2

GND

Ground terminal for DCout and DCout/Switch
outputs.

3

Btry+

Terminal for + (positive) pole of the Backup
Battery.

4

GND

Terminal for - (negative) pole of the Backup
Battery.

5

DCout/Switch

Output terminal for Switched DC-output. This
output is controlled with the DCout ON
terminal and Battery deep discharge circuit.
This terminal is not overload protected.

Control Connector X3

Pin No Terminal Name

Notes

1

Vb Meas

Measuring terminal for Battery Voltage. Value
of Vb Meas voltage is between 0…2 V.

2

DCout ON

Remote on/off control input for DCout/Switch
output. DCout ON > 2,5 V enables
DCout/Switch. DCout ON < 2 V or floating
disables DCout/Switch.

3

Low Btry

Low Btry Alarm output. Low (<0.7V) when
Battery voltage < 11.5V with 12V systems or <
23.0 V with 24 V systems. Else high
(via 164 kohm to DCout/Switch voltage).

4

Vcomp

NTC resistor (10k at 25 

°

C) is connected

between terminals Vcomp and Vset.

5

Vset

External Charging Voltage Selection Resistor
is connected between Vset and GND.

6

GND

Ground terminal for Vb Meas, Vset, and LED
ON terminals.

7

LED ON

Control terminal for Battery Status LED
(intended for external TEST switch). The LED
is lit when LED ON terminal is connected to
the ground.
