2 General Safety
This manual will help you to handle the device safely. Use the device solely in
accordance with its intended use. Observe the safety instructions.
WARNING
Risk of injury from damaged, frozen or deformed batteries
Damaged, frozen or deformed batteries can cause injuries.
1. Before using the battery, make sure that the battery is un-
damaged and the electrolyte is not frozen.
WARNING
Risk of fire from overheated battery
Flammable gases can escape if the battery overheats.
1. Always charge batteries in well-ventilated rooms and away
from ignition sources.

2 General Safety LEAB Automotive GmbH

WARNING
Burns from escaping acid
Acid can leak out when handling batteries.
1. Wear acid-proof clothing when handling batteries.
WARNING
Danger from short circuits
Contact of the screw terminals with metallic and/or conductive
vehicle parts can cause short circuits that can lead to serious
injuries.
1. Avoid contact of the screw terminals with metallic and/or
conductive vehicle parts.
2.1 Intended Use
The CDR 12/24 V can be installed between the starter and auxiliary battery as
an electronic charging current distributor. The charging current can be distrib-
uted both bi-directionally and unidirectionally. The batteries are charged al-
most loss-free and the plastic housing protects against short circuits.
Thanks to a switch-off function, it can also be used as an automatic cut-off re-
lay to switch a consumer or an on-board supply system on or off.
The device is designed for an operating temperature of -40°C ... +60°C.
2.2 Foreseeable Misuse
Use the insulating caps supplied.
Protect supply lines with a suitable fuse.
Only use appropriate electrical cables with a suitable cross-section.
Only use suitable ring cable lugs and tools intended for this purpose.
Install the CDR in such a way that cooling is made possible by air supply.

6 Assembly
NOTE!Maximum torque: 10 Nm
To assemble the device, perform the following steps:
üChoose a cool, dry and well-ventilated assembly site.
üDo not mount the device directly next to or above batteries.
üGuarantee adequate cooling for an unimpeded supply of cooling air.
1 Fasten the device to the 4 holes on the side (Ø 6mm).
ðThe device is assembled.

7 Installation
TIP
In vehicles with generator management, auxiliary batteries are not
sufficiently charged by conventional cut-off relays or current dis-
tributors.
LEAB recommends installing the charge boosterBPC12-12/40
(part no.: 1041003001).
To install the device, perform the following steps:
NOTE!Maximum screw terminal torque: 20 Nm
1 Connect the positive terminal of the starter battery to screw terminal 1 (in-
put).
2 Connect the positive terminal of the auxiliary battery to screw terminal 2
(output).
3 Connect the plug contact PIN 5 (connection for GND) to a ground.
4 Connect the negative terminal of the starter battery and the negative ter-
minal of the auxiliary battery to a common ground.
ðThe device is installed.
TIP
Various optional functions can be installed via the plug contacts
PIN 1-5.
Use 6.3 mm flat plugs.

LEAB Automotive GmbH 7 Installation

7.1 Optional: Activate bypass function
The bypass function (permanently ON) is used to charge the starter battery
with the auxiliary battery if the voltage of the starter battery is too low. The
voltage detection through PIN 5 (GND) is deactivated so that the CDR distrib-
utes charging current at any voltage.
To use the function, carry out the following step:
1 Switch the plug contact PIN 4 to ground.
ðThe function is activated.
7.2 Optional: Connect remote LED display
An external LED can be connected and used as a remote display to detect
whether the device is conducting current.
To install the function, perform the following step:
NOTE!External LED: Output 5 V, max. 5 mA. Not included in the scope of de-
livery.
1 Connect the plug contact PIN1 to the input of an external LED.
2 Connect the other terminal of the external LED to ground.
ðThe function is installed.
7.3 Optional: Change the charging current distribution
The CDR can distribute the charging current both bidirectionally and unidirec-
tionally. The factory default setting is bidirectional charging current distribu-
tion in two directions.
To change the direction of the charging current distribution to unidirectional,
carry out the following step:
1 Switch the plug contact PIN2 to ground.
ðThe charging current distribution is unidirectional from screw terminal 1 to
screw terminal2.
10 LEAB Automotive GmbH Thorshammer 6 24866 Busdorf
7 Installation LEAB Automotive GmbH

To change the direction of the charging current distribution to bidirectional,
carry out the following step:
2 Disconnect the connection cable from plug contact PIN 2.
ðThe charging current distribution is bidirectional from screw terminal1 to
screw terminal2 or vice versa, depending on where a higher voltage is
present.
7.4 Optional: Activate switch-off function
The CDR can be switched off manually (permanently OFF) to prevent overchar-
ging of a fully charged lithium-ion battery. The device can therefore be used
as an automatic cut-off relay to connect/disconnect a consumer or an on-
board supply system.
NOTE!The disconnection is independent of the direction of the charging cur-
rent selected.
To activate the function, perform the following step:
1 Switch the plug contact PIN 3 to ground.
ðThe function is activated. The device is switched off.

8 Operation
– Should the battery connected to the alternator or charger exceed a voltage
of 13.5 V or 27.5V, the CDR will switch on the auxiliary battery for charging.
– Should the voltage drop below 12.8V or 25.6V, the CDR will disconnect the
batteries to prevent mutual discharge.
