4. Setting up the unit
4.1 Placement of the unit
Always place the unit on a solid and stable surface. Do not place it
on soft surfaces, like a towel. The fan at the bottom of the ICC
should be able to get fresh air to the unit.
Make sure there is no dirt or metal parts inside the ICC tray.
4.2 Connecting to the power supply
The ICC is designed to work from a power supply delivering
between 12 and 14 volts DC. Connecting to a higher or lower
voltage may cause malfunction or even damage to the unit.
The power supply should be capable of delivering at least the
current that you like to charge at. So for instance, if you like to
charge at 5 amps, a 5 amp supply would be necessary. We advise to
use a supply of minimum 10 amps to use all functionality of the
ICC.
Before you connect the ICC make sure that the power supply is
switched off, no pack is in the tray and nothing is connected on
the external output! Plug in the fixed power supply leads of the
ICC to the supply. Take special notice of the polarity: positive (+)
terminal is red, negative (-) terminal is black. Then switch on the
power supply. If all is fine the ICC will beep once and give you a
welcome message.
When powering down the ICC, first remove the pack from the tray
and disconnect everything from the external output port. Then
switch off the power supply.
4.3 Inserting a pack in the ICC tray
Step 1. Check your pack.
For good charging and discharging without contact errors and
reliable temperature measurements, it is crucial that your pack is
assembled and soldered correctly and nicely aligned.
Your pack should look like this.
