This new next generation compact model incorporates IP68 (full waterproof) for the main product, however, the fan is external to the product and is not IP68. In the unlikely event the product gets completely immersed in water and the fan destroyed the fan is a standard 40 mm fan on a 2 pin connector and can easily and cheaply replaced, the main unit would not be damaged.
The unit has an internal magnetic programming ability with the magnet being in the lid of the product so as not to lose the magnet. The magnetic programmer can be used to simply select 1 of 5 battery type s to ensure you can charge the battery bank correctly ( AGM, sealed lead acid, open lead acid, calcium, and lifep04(lithium).
A unique option on the 16 amp Battery to battery version is the ability to remove the internal input voltage control regulation, this allows the unit to operate at much lower input voltages enabling a lot more power to be drawn down long cable lengths, Ideal for things like caravans where the large cable voltage drops would fundamental reduce the ability of the product to do its job to the maximum, this allows the unit to “pull” the cable voltage way down to about 8 volts (as opposed to 13,3 volts) to pull as much power as possible down the line (Warning : this option should only be used in conjunction with a ignition activated line feed from the vehicle, so that when the vehicle is switched off the product will no longer be able to feed from the starter battery, this should only be used when engine is on to avoid flattening the starter battery. This function is best suited for tow caravans only).
Fully adjustable for battery type and other functions.
Encapsulated electronics, fully waterproof.
Thermostatically controlled fan cooled for smaller footprint Fan not IP68, however designed to be easily replaced in the event of a failure.
Remote control allows access to all the relevant information, the panel comes complete with a 10 meter telephone type extension lead. The meter is in a standard 450 mm threaded housing. This is an optional product and is not required for the operation of the main products.
