Installing the Charging Device
The DCC Pro Charging Device has been designed to cope with demanding
conditions and can be installed in the vehicle’s engine compartment. Care must
be taken when performing the installation to ensure performance, longevity and
of course, safety. Installing the device too close to a turbocharger for example
may not only force the device into thermal shut down but could also result in
catastrophic failure.
Select a suitable location where the Charging Device can be mounted ensuring
adequate ventilation to the heatsink fins, free from excessive vibration and heat.
The electronics are enclosed in a sealed housing however the device, where
possible, should be installed in a protected environment. The Charging Device is
NOT designed to be installed in a location where water can regularly ‘short’
between the terminals.
As it is of solid state design, the Charging Device can be mounted in any position
vertically or horizontally. It should be oriented so that the LED Glow Ring
indicator is clearly visible to the installer/operator. It must be installed on a hard
flat surface – not an upholstered or insulated surface. Ensure at least 30mm of
clearance all around from any other equipment.
The Charging Device should be fixed with appropriate fasteners ensuring all four
anchor holes are utilised.
If mounted on a vertical surface the Data Cable
socket should be oriented to the side or downwards.
NOTE:
Remove the terminal cover
before using any tools to fasten the
Charging Device in position.
