INSTALLING BATTERYPLUS35 POWER SUPPLY
Personnel
Installation is to be carried out only by suitably qualified personnel.
Ventilation, Orientation, and Thermal Considerations
The preferred orientation is with the load connection at the bottom, as shown in
Figure 1: Recommended Mounting Holes, and located such that there is a minimum
of 80 mm free air space from all vented sides of BatteryPlus35. This allows for the
lowest operating temperature of the internal electronics and highest reliability of the
product.
The final enclosure must also provide adequate ventilation to the outside world (or
larger internal cavity) to prevent excessive heating of the air within the enclosure.
At normal room temperature (25°C), the unit is rated to provide full power in both
vertical and horizontal orientations. At elevated temperature up to 50°C, the output
current is de-rated to 32A.
The enclosure air temperature can easily exceed 50°C if
adequate ventilation is not provided.
WARNING
The unit has over-temperature protection, meaning it will
shut down if its internal temperature rises above a safe
level. The unit will automatically restart once it has cooled
to an acceptable level.
WARNING
DO NOT install BatteryPlus35 in the same compartment
where flammable material such as petrol is stored.
WARNING
Ensure that the BatteryPlus35 is not exposed to any
liquids during installation or the installed environment.

Mains Cable
This is pre-cabled and fitted with a mains plug. Ensure that the connection to the
mains supply is in accordance with the national wiring rules, and that the earth
connection is installed. The mains cable must be at least 10mm away from the
output cables. See Figure 1: Recommended Mounting Holes. All DC connections
should be wired according to Figure 3: DC Wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35SR and
BatteryPlus35HA and Figure 4: DC wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35PM.
The plug must be accessible during installation. If this is not possible, an accessible
mains disconnection switch must be incorporated in the mains wiring where the
plug is connected.
Wire Size
DC cables must be sized to carry the maximum full load current and to not exceed
the system volt drop requirements. The following cable sizes are recommended.
When running wires, if they pass through panels or wall, ensure the wires are
protected from damage by sharp edges. The use of cable glands is recommended.
WARNING
If the supply cord is damaged, it must not be replaced and
the appliance should be scrapped.

Dimensions
The power supply terminal “AX” provides an alternative option for powering the loads
and charging of the batteries when mains voltages are not present. This input is to
be powered from a suitable +12 V system (e.g. a vehicle). The voltage of this external
DC power source should not exceed 14.8 V.
This input is isolated using an internal relay, so it is strictly an input; BatteryPlus35
will never supply current to anything connected to this terminal. The AX voltage must
be 0.5V greater than the battery voltage for charging to occur. If the current supplied
by the AX input is less than 2A then the charging will stop.
This is the only input for a car connection. Refer to AX Charging on page 26.
Note: BatteryPlus35 does not provide battery charge management when operating
in this configuration. In this configuration current and voltage control for the battery
must be provided from the external source.
Note: The BatteryPlus35 and loads can be powered directly from the Auxiliary input
and does not require a battery.
Solar Connection
This connection is for solar panel connection for the BatteryPlus35SRHA and for a
solar regulator/controller connection for the BatteryPlus35PM.
CAUTION
Suitable fuse protection MUST be provided for the “AX”
input. A fuse rating not exceeding 30 Amps must be used.

BatteryPlus35PM solar input is to be connected with an external solar regulator with
solar panels. The external regulator or controller can be MPPT or PWM type.
The output of the solar regulator must not exceed 30A and should provide a suitable
charging profile for the batteries installed in the system.
Solar panel and external regulator selection must be suitable for optimum changing
current in order to prolong the life of the battery.
Consult the external solar regulator and battery specification details for more
information.
This Input will be left ON when AC mains or Aux is present.
BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA Versions
BatteryPlus35SR/HA have a solar input to which standard 12V solar panels are to be
connected to this input. This input is internally connected to a Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) charger which is able to charge a 12V battery system and provide
power to the loads. This MPPT charger is a smart, multi-stage, 450W regulator
which is capable of delivering up to 30A. The charging stages are described in Figure
8: Charging Algorithm.
The voltage generated by the solar panel must exceed 17.5V for two minutes in order
for the solar panels to start charging the batteries.
The AX and solar sources can be both enabled at the same time if available.
Solar Panels
Standard 12V solar panels are to be used. Solar panels may be paralleled and its
(Voc) open circuit voltage must not exceed 25V.
Installing the Solar Panel
1. Make sure there is no mains and no auxiliary input
2. Connect the battery to the battery terminals
3. Connect solar panels directly to the solar input ensuring correct polarity.
See Figure 3: DC Wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA

Remote Load-Isolator Switch Connection
BatteryPlus35 allows for remote control of the load connections by two methods,
remote switch via the Trek display (optional accessory) and hardware remote switch
terminals. All loads can be turned off by operation of either switch. This feature can
be used to store the caravan when not used.
Both methods are described below. If both methods are installed, the dedicated
remote switch overrides the remote switch via Trek.
Remote Switch via Trek Display
The load outputs on BatteryPlus35 can be controlled via Trek (purchased
separately). Trek has a dedicated button to switch all loads off and on. When the
loads are OFF the unit enters into ECO mode.
Battery charging is not affected by this switch.
For detailed information and more, see page 31.
Note: This function is not available on the RVView.
Remote Switch via Hardware Remote Switch Terminal (RSW)
A pair of contacts, item in Name and Function of Parts, are provided for
connection to the external switch. When this switch is shorted, all loads are
disconnected from all power and the unit is put into storage mode.
Battery charging is not affected by this switch.
Any accessories connected to the communication bus are turned off.
Any convenient switch and wire size may be used.
Communication Bus Connection
The communication bus connection is used to connect the BatteryPlus35 and
external BMPRO accessories via a data cable.
Note: See the BMPRO by Setec website for cable accessories.

Storage
If the caravan is to be stored for a long period of time, first fully charge the battery
and ensure all loads are disconnected, see section Remote Load-Isolator Switch
Connection. It is recommended to recharge the battery at least once every month
or be maintained from the solar panel if installed. Regular recharging will prevent
the battery from becoming deeply discharged—a condition which can significantly
shorten battery life.
Deeply Discharged Batteries
Lead-Acid Batteries
This battery charger is not designed to charge deeply discharged batteries. Its
effectiveness in charging such a battery is a function of the depth of discharge and
the battery size. Bigger (higher capacity) batteries will be more troublesome in this
respect.
If a battery has become deeply discharged and BatteryPlus35 will not charge it,
remove the battery (see Battery Connection/Disconnection Procedure on page 18)
and charge it with a stand-alone charger. Once the battery voltage has recovered to
normal levels it may be reinstalled.
LiFePO4 Batteries
If a LiFePO4 gets deeply discharged and its internal Battery Management System
(BMS) turns off the battery voltage. The BatteryPlus35 will provide a 14.6V on its
output to restart the battery BMS and charge the battery.
SERVICING
This product contains hazardous voltages and energy hazards, which can result in
death or injury.
Only properly qualified service personnel may service it.
There are no internal user serviceable parts.
WARNING
Select the appropriate chemistry profile using the Trek,
Lead acid or LiFePO4. If unsure consult with battery
manufacturer or dealer.
WARNING
DO NOT install battery in the same compartment where
flammable material such as petrol is stored.

AC/DC Power Supply
BatteryPlus35 provides an isolated output for powering of the loads and charging of
the battery. It enters into power supply mode if it is set to charge a lead-acid battery
and is powered by AC mains without the battery, providing an output voltage of 12.8V.
When a battery is detected, Battery current is sensed and monitored by the power
supply to limit the charging current. Refer to Charging Profile on page 26 for more
details.
Multiple Inputs and Blending
BatteryPlus35 may have many active sources at one time. These sources include
the battery, AC mains, solar input and auxiliary (AX) input. Multiple sources will be
turned On to deliver power to the system. Their priorities are outlined below:
BatteryPlus35HA and BatteryPlus35SR
Scenario 1: If AC Mains and solar sources are available, then AC Mains is the
dominant source.
Scenario 2: If AC Mains and Auxiliary sources are available, then AC Mains is the
dominant source.
Scenario 3: If Solar and Auxiliary sources are available, then Solar and Auxiliary
inputs are both be turned ON.
Scenario 4: If AC Mains, Solar and Auxiliary sources are available, then AC Mains is
the dominant source.
BatteryPlus35PM
Scenario 1: If AC Mains and external solar sources are available, then AC Mains and
solar inputs are both turned ON.
Scenario 2: If AC Mains and Auxiliary sources are available, then AC Mains is the
dominant source.
Scenario 3: If External Solar and Auxiliary sources are available, then Solar and
Auxiliary inputs are both turned ON.
Scenario 4: If AC Mains, Solar and Auxiliary sources are available, then AC Mains
and solar input are both turned ON.
Note: If no battery is attached to the BatteryPlus35 and is set as a lead acid charger,
the nominal voltage is 12.80V when operating on Mains.
Page 23

Fault Protection
The power supply provides automatic protection for short-circuit overload, overvoltage, and over-temperature situations.
In overload, over-temperature and short-circuit condition the power supply will shut
down. It will then automatically attempt to restart every 30 seconds until the fault is
removed.
For Reverse Battery protection an external battery fuse must be installed, refer to
Battery Fusing.
Fusing
Electronic Load Fuses
Each load output is protected by internal electronic fuse. Electronic fuses are low
maintenance and do not require replacement if a short circuit or over current
condition occurs. L3 to L14 are 10A, and L1 and L2 are 15A outputs. Their locations
are shown in Name and Function of Parts.
L1 is also set as a persistent load, allowing for this output to stay on if the battery
voltage falls below low voltage threshold 1 or if the Remote switch button via the
Trek is pushed. This output will turn off if the battery discharges down to low voltage
threshold 2. Only light or temporary load MUST be added to L1, such as an electric
step.
Electronic fuses eliminate the requirement for the user changing fuses, when a
short occurs. The status of the output can be checked by LED indicators shown in
Name and Function of Parts. The output will return once the fault is removed.
Note: The LED indicators have a narrow viewing window. One has to be directly above
them in order to view them.
Battery Fusing
Battery fusing with maximum rating of 40A must be added to the positive line of the
battery terminal and be installed as close as possible to the battery. See location
shown in Figure 3: DC Wiring Diagram for BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA
Auxiliary (AX) Fusing
AX fusing must be added to the positive line of the AUX+ terminal. A fuse rating
not exceeding 30 Amps must be used. See location shown in Figure 3: DC Wiring
Diagram for BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA
Page 24
24
Mains Fusing
The AC mains input is protected by an internal fuse of quick acting, high breaking
capacity type and rated at 250V 10A.
Low Voltage Disconnect Modes
Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) is a feature of BatteryPlus35 that protects the battery
from deep discharge preventing battery health deterioration. The are two LVD modes
of protection for the battery, Eco mode and Storage mode.
ECO Mode
If the battery voltage drops below the ECO mode threshold, then the load outputs L2
to L14 are turned off, while L1 is left on. The communication bus and the accessories
connected to this bus are left on.
If no sources are available, a temporary recovery can be done by cycling the remote
Isolation switch on the BatteryPlus35 or pressing the battery button on the Trek, this
will turn on all the loads for short time.
In this mode, a full recovery can only be done if the Battery voltage rises above the
recovery threshold or if any power source is available, all outputs will be turned back
on.
Storage Mode
If the battery discharges further and its voltage drops below the storage mode
threshold, output L1 to L14 are all turned off. In this state any accessory connected
to the communication bus is also turned off.
In storage mode the battery current drain is less than 15mA.
If no sources are available, a temporary recovery can be done by cycling the remote
Isolation switch on the BatteryPlus35. All loads will be turned on for short time.
In this mode, a full recovery can only be done if a power source is available and the
battery voltage rises above the recovery threshold.

Battery Charging Management
To maintain the battery in a good state of health, an intelligently controlled charging
algorithm is used. The purpose is to ensure that the correct voltages are applied
to the battery terminals at the appropriate times throughout its usage cycle. For
blending with multiple sources refer to Multiple Inputs and blending on page 22.
AC Mains Charging
The BatteryPlus35 is a full battery management system with a multi-stage battery
charger including soft- start, bulk-absorption and float charging modes to ensure
long battery life. BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35PM can only charge a Lead-
Acid battery, while the BatteryPlus35HA can charge Lead-Acid and LiFePO4 battery
types.
Details of the charging profile and settings can be found in Figure 8: Charging
Algorithm and Table 4: Charging voltage and current settings. The maximum time in
each mode is outlined in Table 5: Charging mode time maximum limit.
The power supply is able to deliver 35A maximum to the battery and loads. If
significant load current is present, the maximum battery charging current will be
reduced accordingly.
Note: that for BatteryPlus35 to operate in the manner described above, all loads
must be connected to load terminals, not directly to the caravan battery.
Solar Charging
Solar Charging with BatteryPlus35SR and BatteryPlus35HA
The BatteryPlus35SR/HA has an in built MPPT solar regulator. This solar regulator
follows the same changing settings as described in Figure 8: Charging Algorithm
and Table 4: Charging voltage and current settings. The current that can be delivered
to the system for solar relies on the limitations of the panels available and various
condition at the time.
The voltage generated by the solar panel must exceed 17.5V for two minutes in order
for the solar panels to start charging the batteries.
Solar Charging with BatteryPlus35PM
The BatteryPlus35PM charging currents relies on the external charger that has
been connected. The power of the external solar source needs to sized according to
the battery size, consult external solar controller manufacturer for correct number
of panels, charge profile and installation.
Page 26
26
AX Charging
There is no current or voltage control for charging the battery from the auxiliary
source. This is a simple on-off input. The charging current and voltage relies on the
external source.
The AX input voltage must be greater than the battery voltage for the internal relay
to turn on. Once turned on the AX input will continue to provide power until this input
current drops below 2A or is greater then 27A.
When this input is connected to a car to provide the power to the system, It is
recommended to disconnect the car output from the AX, if the alternator is not
running as this may discharge the car battery.

Bulk Absorption Mode
During this mode the battery is
charged with a limit of
bulk-
absorption current limit
until
the battery voltage reaches
bulk-absorption voltage limit
and
charge current of less than 2A.
Then it changes to Float Mode.
This mode has a time limit of 5hrs
for a 100Ah battery. If the battery
is not charged within this time, the
charger will automatically enter
Float Mode and will repeat itself in
6hrs time.
If charging from solar, the same
charging profile is followed –
within the limitations of the power
available from the panels at that
time.
Soft Start Mode
AC Mains Charging
When the battery is
less than 9.5V, all
loads are disabled and
the charging current
is limited to 10A. The
charger charges at this
rate until the battery
voltage is 10.5V.
Solar Charging
When the battery is
less than 10.5V, all
loads are disabled and
the charging current
is limited to 10A. The
charger charges at this
rate until the battery
voltage is 12.3V.
Float Mode
Once in Float Mode, the charge current is
limited to 10A and keeps the battery topped
up.
This mode has a time limit of 6hrs for a
100Ah battery. When this time is reached
the charger will go back to Bulk Absorption
Mode.
