 Starter Battery: 

The cable allows the voltage measurement at the starter battery and is connected to the positive pole of that battery. The 

connection cable is to be protected directly at the battery by a 1 to 5 A fuse. The cable cross-section should be 0.75 mm², 

at least. 
 

System Supply and  Board Battery: 

This cable is provided for the VPC  supply and exact voltage measurement of the board battery. Therefore, it must be 

connected directly to the positive pole of the board battery to ensure the delivery of precise values. The connection cable 

is to be protected directly at the battery by a 3 to 5 A fuse. The cable cross-section should be 1.5 mm², at least. 
 

Switching  max. 1 A: 

The output serves as control signal for an external, controllable main switch (Switch Unit). 
The main switch can be operated from the display panel. In addition, the system provides an automatic disconnection in 

case of overvoltage or low voltage (Battery Protector Function). 
In active condition (ON), the battery voltage (+12 V or +24 V) is at disposal, here. The output is protected from overload 

by a self-resetting fuse 1 A. 
The consumer disconnection via the switching output does not replace the battery management system (BMS) or the 

safety disconnection for lithium iron-phosphate battery systems, planned by the battery manufacturer. 
 

Relay Contact Water Pump: 

The potential-free relay contact for the water pump is switched by a key at the display. The maximum admissible load of 

the relay contact is 16 A. The water pump is to be protected by means of a fuse 16 A in the supply line!
