Damage caused by reverse polarity connection is NOT covered by the warranty.
Ignition Supply (brown 1mm² cable)
The ignition supply cable (brown) is a positive (+) signal supply to the battery charger. The charger
will operate when this cable is powered. This cable must be fused (2A) to protect the charger and the
cable run.
The Modul-Connect Battery Charger DC-DC 30A is supplied with 3 options of connection:
• Option 1: A mini
blade ‘ignition jumper’ fuse.
• Option 2: An ‘in
-
line’ fuse.
• Option 3: Installer option.
OPTION 1: Most manufacturers use mini blade fuses or Micro2 blade fuses in their OEM fuse boxes.
The mini blade ‘ignition jumper’ fuse can be located in the fuse box of the vehicle to ‘piggy back’
from an ignition (+) circuit without cutting into any cables on the vehicle.
The mini blade ‘ignition jumper’ has two circuit slots on one side and a fuse plug on the other. When
plugged into one of the vehicle's circuit slots, the fuse tap provides space for an additional fuse. The
mini blade ‘ignition jumper’
MUST NOT be used to replace the fuse in any primary vehicle safety
system
. i.e. ABS, EBD, airbag, fuel system control, vehicle ECU or BCM feeds.
The mini blade ‘ignition jumper’ is rated at a maximum of 10A and the removed ignition feed fuse
must not be rated at more than th
is. The mini blade ‘ignition jumper’ must be inserted into the fuse
box in the correct orientation. If a fuse is removed it must be inserted from the fuse box into the
‘ignition jumper’ to make the circuit. The jumper
MUST have the OEM fuse and accessory fuses
fitted
. After fitting, make sure that the circuit which the OEM fuse was protecting is still functioning
correctly.
