DACC2000 USER'S MANUAL (ENG-015 Rev. 1)
DACC2000 terminates in the modern version of terminal strip called a "compression screw
solderless connector". This form of connector requires no soldering or lug to be placed on the
end of the wire, but instead uses a "bare wire" termination technique. "Bare wire" terminations
have been shown to be generally superior to the use of ring or spade lugs hand compressed to the
ends of signal wires and terminated with screw terminals. The bare wire termination usually
results in corrosion resistant "cold flow gas-tight seals", whereas the hand compression lug
terminations usually do not. Bare wire terminations are also much faster to install.
The recommended technique for bare wire terminations is very simple: strip 1/4" of insulation
from the end of the wire, insert into an open termination slot, and turn the compression screw
tight with hand pressure using a pocket screwdriver.
2.1 Power Interconnection
This section describes connecting your DACC2000 to the Battery, Radio, Charging Source and
other power devices. The power terminal barrier is on a plug in card on the bottom right of the
DACC2000 (refer to Figure 2.1). Figure 2.2 illustrates the connections and fuse locations.

Solar Input
A 12 volt solar panel is normally used as the charging source for the battery. The positive output
of the panel connects to the CHGR terminal and the minus to the GND terminal as shown. The
Battery is automatically charged with no external charger controller required. The maximum
current for the charger on the DACC2000 is 4 Amp. This limits the maximum size of the solar
panel controlled by the DACC2000 to 70 watts. If a larger solar panel is required, an external
battery charging regulator must be used.
