FUSE BOX
Charge your batteries with your alternator or with the sun. The charger comes with an inbuilt 25/40A
MPPT solar regulator which has been pre-wired to a dedicated solar Anderson input on the side of the
box. Compatible with LiFePO4, AGM, SLA, Gel, and Calcium batteries, it’s the perfect addition to any
12V touring setup.
Get up-to-date information on your battery in an instant. The inbuilt battery monitor has a measure of
your battery’s voltage, current draw, and state of charge as well as a temperature gauge and two timers
that track your battery’s remaining charge and discharge time.
Take control of your 12V accessories. Designed to give you a quick DIY install for your hardwired
accessories, the switches are ideal for control of items such as lights, pumps, and fridges. Each switch is
backlit, and the kit comes with an array of adhesive emblems to make identifying your switches easy.
The side of the box has two DC-DC ports – one as a dedicated solar input, the other, as a three-pin
Anderson-style plug used to hook into your alternator and ignition source.
Constructed using heavy-duty grey powder-coated aluminium, our 12V Control Hub is perfect for
mounting in the back of the canopy, in DIY camper trailer or van builds. The box is easy to mount:
simply use the pre-drilled holes on the back of the unit to screw, rivet, or bolt it into place, to give you
convenient access to just about everything you need in your 12V setup. The system comes completely
fused and pre-wired, meaning all you’ve got to do is hook up your accessories.
Easy to access fuses. Made to protect the panel’s outputs, the fuse block contains six fuse ports, with an
additional two to hold your spares. There’s also an LED indicator that lights up when a fuse has blown.

6MOUNTING
CONTROL HUB INSTALLATION
Ideally suited to being mounted up on a 4x4 canopy wall, or in a camper trailer, the control hub is best
located in an area that’s easy to access and offers protection from dust and water ingress.
The unit should be mounted with consideration as to where/how you will be running your wires into/out
of the box. Make sure the box has adequate space around it to make wiring easy.
1. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the
four screws found on each corner of the front
face of the unit.
2. Next, mark the mounting points on your wall/
surface. To do this, hold the box up to the
surface, and use a pen to mark the surface
through the box’s pre-drilled mounting holes.
PREPARATION
PROCESS
3. Then, put the control hub down and drill through each marking on your surface. To match the box’s
holes, you’ll need to create a 5mm hole. Note: If mounting to a metal surface, you may need to drill
a smaller pilot hole before drilling it out.
4. The box can now be lifted into place and secured to the wall. Thread an M5 bolt through each hole
and through the mounting surface, then fasten with suitable washers and nuts.
