IMPORTANT & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS — This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for the battery charger.
VOLTAGE CONVERTER PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not expose the voltage converter to rain or snow unless it is a sealed model.
2. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a risk
of re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
3. Do not disassemble the voltage converter; return it to the manufacturer or an authorized
service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a
risk of electric shock or re. Voltages of up to 350 volts are present inside the voltage
converter anytime it is connected to input power, even if it is switched off.
4. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the voltage converter from the DC power source
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this
risk.
5. Never place the voltage converter directly above a battery; gases from battery will
corrode and damage the voltage converter.
6. Never allow battery acid to drip on the voltage converter.

Introduction
The VCH10W Step Down series of Voltage Converters supply up to 10 amps continuous and
12 amps peak current at 12, 24, 36 or 48 volts from any higher voltage between 20 and 80
volts DC in an IP66 rated watertight and EMC shielded enclosure for use in automotive, heavy
equipment, marine, industrial, rail or alternative energy environments.
The standard VCH10W model offers a Deutsch connector on a pigtail input/output cable, and
is designed to be water resistant to IP66.
The VCH10Y is an upgraded version with the same connections that is individually tested to
meet IP67.
The all surface mount high frequency design offers higher reliability, higher efciency (more
than 91%), more power (up to 544 watts at 48 VDC Out and minimum size. Two LED indicators
show the presence of input power, and when the output current exceeds the continuous
rating.
The unit has reverse input protection, output current limiting, output short circuit protection
and output over-voltage protection.

Operation
To turn the unit on, simply turn on your source of power. The Input Power LED will illuminate
to indicate the presence of input power. The overload LED will illuminate if the output current
exceeds the continuous rating of the unit.
Mounting
Mount the unit and allow at least 1 inch
of clearance for adequate cooling.
Input and Output Connections
This unit is equipped with a watertight gland
and short 4 conductor pigtail terminated with
a Deutsch DT04-4P connector. The mating
connector is also supplied, but without
cable. The plug pin out is shown in the table
below.
PIN NAME DESCRIPTION
1 POSITIVE INPUT (red)
2 NEGATIVE INPUT (black)
3 NEGATIVE OUTPUT (black)
4 POSITIVE OUTPUT (orange)
Connect the input pins to the power source, and the output pins to the load, making sure
to observe the correct polarity of the connections. If the input is connected in reverse, the
protection fuse will blow, and must be replaced by the dealer or an electronics technician.

ROHS (European) Option (E Option)
Load Share Option (D Option)
IP67 (Waterproof Tested) Option (Y Option)
Consistent with military standards, this unit is normally manufactured using lead based solder.
However, this unit can be built to ROHS lead free standards, identied internally by a red
colored printed circuit board by adding the E option. This is a no charge option, but can add 2-4
weeks to the delivery of an order.
Two or more units may be congured for load sharing if they are equipped with the optional
output isolation diodes. The output current is reduced to the Continuous rating for units with
the D option.
This is the same unit as the VHC10W, except each unit is individually tested to comply with
the IP67 rating of withstanding 1 meter immersion for 30 minutes with no ingress of moisture.
8
This unit has 2 LED indicators to help diagnose simple problems.
INPUT POWER Indicates that power is being received by the unit
If the LED is not on, check with a voltmeter that there is power at the
connections.
Check that the polariy is correct, Positive to Pin 1 and Negative to Pin
2. If the power is reversed, the unit is not damaged, but the input fuse
must be replaced by a service technician experienced in Surface Mount
Technology.
OVERLOAD Indicates that the output current exceeds the continuous rating of the unit:
If this happens frequently, reduce the load connected to the unit.
