Avoid a flat battery, with the Projecta INTELLI-IQ Smart Display

There is nothing worse than arriving at your favourite destination to find that your auxiliary battery is dead on arrival, just when you need it most. The Projecta INTELLI-IQ Smart Display (IQD2) makes this horrible situation a thing of the past.

IQD2 is the communication hub for the Projecta DC system, enabling users to create a smart home on wheels by providing complete control of the DC System, including charge rate and battery voltage. IQD2 is the first of five phases of the Projecta Internet of Things (IoT) System, and it ensures both scalability and allows the integration of future products and technologies.

Projecta’s IQD2 links connected products within the Projecta network, providing a new way of connecting and controlling devices without being physically hardwired or relying on Bluetooth. Think of the unit as being the ‘brain’ in a portable smart system, giving you total and reliable control over your auxiliary 12V equipment. With this functionality, you will never turn up at a campsite with a flat battery and a warm fridge again.

Projecta Senior Brand Manager, James Pearson, said the new INTELLI-IQ Smart Display unlocked the full potential of the IDC25X DC to DC charger and other Projecta equipment.

“When paired with the IDC25X charger, the INTELLI-IQ Smart Display further elevates the charger by offering total and convenient control – in combination, the technology is unique and industry-leading for the segment,” he explained. “Many competitor systems feature Bluetooth control where the appliance connects directly to the smart device.

“These systems can be subject to functionality issues with range and connectivity; this is often because the appliance is mounted in the engine bay or another area shielded by layers of metal, causing a barrier for the Bluetooth signal. In comparison, the IQD2 offers automotive grade communication meaning no dropouts along with an easy set-up,” Pearson added.

The INTELLI-IQ Smart Display unit features a two-inch display screen. It can be mounted anywhere you want due to the single-wire connectivity, and the cable is easy to manipulate around a 4WD. The unit itself can be mounted flush, at an angle, or even upside down.

The screen features an ultra-wide display angle, a capacitive touch screen that supports ‘smooth touch’ with enhanced sensitivity, and swipe-to-change screens. Additionally, it includes automatic brightness adjustment and the ability to further customise settings using the INTELLI-IQ app. Through the app the user can monitor at some distance from the 4WD and program various alarms and notifications to be alerted before it is too late, meaning users should never experience the inconvenience of a flat battery.

The INTELL-IQ Smart Display can be purchased from leading automotive, caravan, camping and specialist battery/generator outlets Australia-wide, and is backed by a generous five-year warranty.
