OVERVIEW

Outline
In a standard dual or multiple battery arrangement, the system will consist of a
starting (or main) battery and secondary (or auxiliary) batteries. For clarity and
conciseness we will refer to these throughout the manual as the main and
auxiliary batteries.
Our vision for the DCC Pro was a device which would not only provide an
autonomous charging method for any auxiliary battery, but would reliably,
accurately and repeatedly provide feedback to the operator on the status of the
charging and maintenance process. In order to provide this information we
integrated a visual display. The addition of a remote display also provides a level
of operator input, allowing some control of the device, such as selection of
battery types for example. The development of a true remote user interface
enabled the concept to evolve into the product you have purchased today.
The DCC Pro consists of three main components. Together, these form a
stand-alone charging system and are all that is necessary, aside from the
external wiring, to implement a fully operational charging and maintenance
system for
one
auxiliary battery or bank (batteries in parallel). These
components are:
1. The Charging Device.
This is the power conversion component of the
system. It is a high power, yet compact package which is designed to be
installed in the engine bay of the vehicle.
2. The Remote Display.
This is the separate control and monitoring device
which is designed to be installed in the vehicle cabin in easy view and reach of
the operator. It has a backlit LCD display and four control buttons.
3. The Data Cable.
This is the interconnect harness that enables the Charging
Device and Remote Display to communicate with each other.
