SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please read the Safety Precautions before installing or using the JControl. Be sure to observe all precautions without fail. Failure to observe these instructions properly may result in personal damage, or personal injury which depending on the circumstances may be serious and cause loss of life. Correct installation is the most critical factor in ensuring the safe use of the JControl. If every consideration of these instructions has been satisfied, the JControl will be safe to operate.
ABOUT THE JCONTROL The JControl is designed specifically to operate with BMPRO’s J35 (Models A and B). The JControl provides vital data at a glance including caravan battery voltage and charging/discharging current. The JControl also provides an indication of the battery’s remaining charge capacity as well as the time remaining before the battery completely discharges-so you’ll never be left on the road without battery power.
