- Do not use the converter in places where gases are emitted or where
flammable materials are stored.
- The housing heats up when the converter is loaded.
- The converter is not suitable for outdoor use.
Cable thickness
The required cable size is determined by the length of the cable and the current
(Amp) flowing through it. To calculate both the input and output cable, use the
following formula:
Current (Amp) x distance in meters x 0.2 = cable size in mmq
Example calculation:
the distance between the starter battery and the HDC 1212-40 is 1.5 metres.
If the maximum charging current is adjusted via the settings, this value can be
included in the calculation.
For the cable thickness for the ' ignition ' (D+) and ground, a minimum of
1.5mmq can be maintained.
Fuse
To protect the system externally, it is advisable to install a fuse in both the +
input cables and the + output cable. Use 60Amp fuses.
Connection
Important
▪ Always connect the D+ (ignition) of the converter!
▪ Otherwise the charging converter ( battery input) cannot work.
▪ Lay the cables in such a way that there is no risk of damage or crush.
▪ If an EBL has been placed in the vehicle, as is usually the case with a
motorhome, see paragraph 'HDC converter in combination with EBL'.
For the connections in the converter: Strip the connection cables +/- 1.5
cm. The cable can then be screwed into the relevant opening.

40 ( Amps ) x 1.5 x 0.2 = 12mmq
