Product details

Sophisticated charging technology at a good price-performance ratio!
The new PerfectCharge IUOU MCA1235 charger from DOMETIC impresses with a particularly fast and gentle charging process thanks to its 5-stage charging technology. It is equally suitable for lead acid, gel and AGM batteries. The standard LIN bus interface also makes the charger network-compatible and allows for the device to be integrated into existing BUS systems. Its lightweight and extremely compact design allows quick and easy installation, even in confined spaces.
DOMETIC's PerfectCharge MCA1235 has an input range of 110-230 volts and is equipped with two charging outputs and one output for the starter battery, so it can simultaneously charge several batteries. A remote control and a temperature sensor are available separately.
  • gentle charging of 12 V batteries with optimized 5-stage IUOU charging technology
  • simultaneous charging of two batteries plus starter battery
  • extremely compact and lightweight, easy to assemble
  • quiet operation with half the power in idle mode - ideal at night or with low-voltage power supplies
  • useful add-ons: remote control, temperature sensor

Note about the operating instructions:
The included instruction manual, pages 23 and 27, may contain unclear descriptions of the DIP switch settings when using an MCA RC-1 remote control.
A revised version can be found under "Documents" (here on pages 24 and 28).
When using the MCA-RC1 remote control, the DIP switches on the unit must be adjusted.

Our tip for all those people who don’t read the manual before installation:
If the device is running it is ok. In the case of the smallest error, however, it is immediately a total loss, and is therefore only conditionally recommended.
Our answer
Ein genereller Praxis-Tipp für all die Leute, die keine Installations-/Bedienungsanleitungen lesen:
Wer sich nicht vorab über die Eigenschaften eines elektrischen Gerätes informiert, sollte beim Anschluss unbedingt auf die korrekte Polarität achten.
WAECO weist in der Anleitung mit einem speziellen Symbol (dickes graues Ausrufezeichen in achteckigem Rahmen) auf wichtige Details hin, welche beachtet werden sollten, damit eine einwandfreie und zuverlässige Funktion gewährleistet ist.

I\'ve got two sets of batteries, so i wanted to put two of them + mca remote control : but there is only one temp control input and one for the rc1. So i put the temp sensor on the service batteries, i\'ll see what happens next. perhaps i bought it usefulness, i don\'t know. but two pièces can\'t be plugged if you have remote control, or is there another possibility?
Our answer
You\'re right. Like other manufacturers too, WAECO has provided only one sensor-input for temperature monitoring .
Your charger is suitable for charging a starter battery with limited voltage and current. There is no risk of overcharging or gassing.That is why there is no need to place the temp.-sensor at the starter battery.
The other two outputs are designed for charging service batteries with an optimal charging characteristic (adjustable via DIP-switches). This curve is based on room temperature (20-25 ° C).
The sensor detects not only a possible self-heating of the service batteries during charging with high currents. Rather, you should also take into account external heat sources, eg. the mashine. You should place the temp.-sensor on the thermally mostly stressed service battery.

The device makes a decent impression. The manufacturer has given little thought to the operation. The status LED would be better located next to the device switch. The IEC connector can shake loose, a permanent connection would be better. The assembly instructions do not describe the configuration: remote control and temperature sensor. A demand from the manufacturer was very tedious (16 minute waiting loop). Waeco urgently needs to improve.

Derzeit kann ich nur den Empfang bestätigen. Die Funktion des Ladegerätes zeigt sich erst nach dem Einbau, der noch nicht stattgefunden hat. Lieferung war OK.
