CONNECTING THE REMOTE
Connect the remote to the M12 connector marked remote on the backside of the
LPS.
230 VAC INPUT (BLUE CONNECTOR)
To connect 230VAC to the LPS II unit, please use the enclosed power cord with
the Blue Neutrik connector.
Connect the Blue Neutrik to the Blue socket to start charging.
230 VAC OUTPUT (GREY CONNECTOR)
For fixed 230VAC installations where accidental disconnection, or shock and
vibrations may occur it is recommended to use the Neutrik 230VAC Out.
Attention: Both 230VAC Outputs on the LPS (Plug on the front, Neutrik on the backside) are protected with 8A relays and a RCD, which allow you to make fixed 230VAC installations.
Attention: If an installation is wired around the LPS, please note that separate relays must be used.
12 VDC OUTPUT
Positive: Connect directly to the appliance.
Negative: Connect directly to the appliance. (Ground can be connected through a lashing eye.)
Attention: When connecting the 12VDC to the LPS unit, make sure to use the correct cable size and tighten the cable shoes carefully. Failure to do so, can result in bad connections and overheating.
Attention: If there is a need for DC Output, it is recommended to use a fuse that matches the need of the installation/usage. Max. 180 A.
Please see the CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS at the top.
SOLAR PANEL CONNECTION
Positive: Connect the Positive terminal from the solar panel to the C2
connecter.
Negative: Connect the Negative terminal to a ground point.
Attention: Solar panels must be wired in a parallel circuit. Input: 15-40 VDC.
Connect all positive terminals of the solar panels, as well as all the negative terminals of the solar panels.
CHARGING FROM ALTERNATOR
Connect D+ for key wakeup
On most cars and vans it is possible to connect the engine starter to the D+
connector, which is usually found underneath the dashboard.
Check the specification for your car, to see how to connect the LPS II to D+.
Connecting alternator
Positive: When connecting the Positive wire make sure to use a Mega Fuse
Box (60A) between the LPS and the battery.
Negative: It is important to run the Negative cord through a ground point such as a lashing eye in a car and not directly between the LPS and the battery.
Attention: When connecting the 12VDC to the LPS unit, make sure to use the correct cable size and tighten the cable shoes carefully. Failure to do so, can result in bad connections and overheating.
Please see the CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS at the top.
CHARGING FROM ALTERNATOR WITH SUPER CHARGE
See the text CHARGING FROM ALTERNATOR and below for complete installation.
Connect the 12VDC input to the fuse box. It must be on the same side as the LPS II.
Attention: When connecting a Super Charge DC-DC Converter, the fuse for 12VDC must be changed to a 125A on the Positive cable.
Connect the Output from the Super Charge DC-DC Converter to the DC Output of the LPS II.
Attention: If there is a need for DC Output, it is recommended to use a fuse that matches the need of the installation/usage. Max. 180 A.
