3. Strip and crimp the Switch/ Signal Inputs with the appropriate contact and crimp tool.
4. Insert contacts into associated plug.
5. Insert the connector into the RV1, insuring connector is correctly seated.
5. Connect DC Negative
1. Connect an appropriately sized cable from the battery negative terminal or main negative bus to the RV1’s
M8 negative stud. The Negative cable must be capable of carrying combined current of all H-Bridge
channels.
2. Maximum recommended cable size is 70mm² (2/0). Cables larger than 70mm² (2/0) should be connected
to a positive stud first with a link to the RV1.
6. Connect DC Positive
1. Connect an appropriately sized and fused cable from the battery positive terminal to the RV1’s ‘Batt’
positive stud. The positive cable must be of sufficient size to carry the maximum current of all loads
connected to the RV1, as well as the 24hr loads connected to the ‘Load’ stud, and have a fuse/circuit
breaker rated to protect the cable, volt drop should be kept to a minimum.
2. Maximum total load for the RV1 including 24hr loads connected via ‘Load’ stud is 150A.
3. Maximum recommended cable size is 70mm² (2/0). Cables larger than 70mm² (2/0) should be connected
to a positive stud first with a link to the RV1.
7. Connect 24hr Loads (Optional)
1. If built-in State of Charge monitoring is to be used, then connect 24hr loads to the RV1’s ‘Load’ Stud.
Take extra care when wiring the 24hr loads to ensure that no 24hr load is connected directly to the
battery. Failure to connect 24hr loads through RV1 will result in inaccuracies with battery monitoring
calculated within the RV1.
2. All ‘Loads’ must be fused correctly for devices.
