Installation

AUX Wiring

The AUX+ and AUX– terminals are a switched 12 Vdc supply. The AUX can respond to many criteria and control many functions. These include cooling fans, vent fans, load diversion, fault alarms, and automatic generator control. The AUX output can also be controlled externally through the system display. (For generator control, see the next page. For all other functions, see the system display manual and the International Series GFX Operator’s Manual.) The AUX can only control one function at a time.

The terminals can supply up to 0.7 amps at 12 Vdc (8.4 watts). This is sufficient to drive a small fan, or a relay which can control a larger device. The terminals accept up to 2.5 mm2 (#14 AWG) wire.

The AUX circuit contains electronic overcurrent protection, which resets after being overloaded. No additional fuses are required for the AUX terminals.

In this example, the AUX directly drives a 12-volt vent fan. The + and – wires on the fan are connected to the AUX+ and AUX– terminals.

The AUX LED illuminates when the AUX output becomes active.

Figure 14 AUX Connections for Vent Fan (Example)

In this example, the AUX drives a relay that diverts wind power. The relay’s coil is connected to the AUX+ and AUX– terminals. When the AUX

closes the relay (based on battery voltage), the Turbine relay diverts the excess wind power to a water

heating element.
