OVERVIEW

Introduction
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.
As a concept 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 it was necessary to integrate a visual display. The addition of a
remote display also provided the opportunity for 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. These form a complete‘plug
and play’kit and are all that is necessary, aside from the external wiring, to
implement a fully operational charging and maintenance system for one
auxiliary battery. The components consist of:
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 information to each other.
