1.4 Error Codes

In the event of a fault with the unit installation, either battery or solar panel, ALL

the LEDs on the unit will ﬂ ash to indicate the fault type. Flashing sequences are

described in the table below.

LED State Description

1 ﬂ ash (1 ﬂ ash followed by 3.5 second off) Internal Hardware Fault

2 ﬂ ash (2 ﬂ ash followed by 3.5 second off) Reserved

3 ﬂ ash (3 ﬂ ash followed by 3.5 second off) Unit over temp fault

4 ﬂ ash (4 ﬂ ash followed by 3.5 second off) Output Battery Fault (Volts too high) /

Solar Panel connected reverse polarity

5 ﬂ ash (5 ﬂ ash followed by 3.5 second off) Input under voltage (Battery)

6 ﬂ ash (6 ﬂ ash followed by 3.5 second off) Input over voltage (Battery or Solar panel)

7 ﬂ ash (7 ﬂ ash followed by 3.5 second off) Reverse polarity

NOTE: The unit will operate optimally below 55°C with good airﬂ ow. At higher

temperatures the unit will de-rate output current.

NOTE: Appropriate connections must be made to the wires with a continuous current

rating of at least 20A for the BCDC2420(-LV). Failure to do so may cause damage to

the unit and vehicle.

2 INSTALLATION

Mount the unit to a ﬂ at surface close to the auxiliary

battery and away from any heat sources. The

BCDC2420(-LV) has 6 wires and should be installed

as described over the following pages.

2.1 RED wire - Input Source Positive

The RED wire should be connected to the positive input

from the source - this can be either from a vehicle’s

starter battery or from a solar panel.

Appropriate size fuses should be used as per the

speciﬁ cations table on page 2.
