FERATURES
The DC to DC charger is purposely designed for charging auxiliary batteries. It includes all
the features needed to maintain the auxiliary battery to its optimum condition and to
prolong the battery life.
This product will offer you reliable service for providing a multistage, dual-input battery
charger to charge the different types of batteries you have installed in either your home,
boat, caravan, 4WD or commercial vehicle. It also supports a solar charge from solar panels.
This manual will explain how to use this unit safely and effectively.

4. CHARGING TEST:
● When the ignition terminal is not enabled (no voltage on the ignition terminal), PV
has priority. Based on ambient light conditions the battery will be charged via the
PV in relation to the units settings.
● When the ignition terminal is enabled, DC has priority with relation to the units
settings. If the DC fails the battery is automatically transferred to the PV.
● When the DC is restored, the battery is automatically switched back To DC.
Fan control:
ON: Internal temperature >45℃ or Current >30% of the set charge current
OFF: Internal temperature<35℃ and current <20% of the set charge current.
If the Internal or external temperature maximum the unit will stop charging. The
unit will automatically restart when the temperature falls.
Note: 1.Internal temp. protection>65℃;External temp. protection <55℃
2.External temp. protection >60℃;Internal temp. protection<50℃,
