for gasses to disperse before attempting to connect this unit to the supply battery.
3 Statutory Notice: The wires in the mains input lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
Green/Yellow: Earth
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this equipment do not correspond with the markings in
your plug, proceed as follows:
The Blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N or coloured Black.
The Brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured Red.
The Green/Yellow wire must be connected to the terminal marked E or coloured Green.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
4 Low Voltage Circuits
This equipment must be installed in such a way that high currents present in any battery circuits or other
output connections are prevented from flowing through the equipment mains lead. Such currents could
damage the integrity of the protective earth connection.
The incoming mains earth connects only to the Power Charger enclosure. Both the earth and enclosure
are isolated from all Power Charger output circuits, which helps the above requirement to be achieved.
The low output voltage from this unit does not present an electric shock hazard, but the high current
available can be hazardous by virtue of its potential heating effect, particularly if batteries are also
connected. The installation wiring must therefore be adequate for the currents involved, with suitable
protection from potential fault conditions. Accidental bridging of high energy circuits by users (eg by
jewellery) must be prevented.
INSTALLATION
Choosing a location
Choose a location where the unit will not be subjected to water spray, dust, or insect ingress. Filters are
available for the fan air intake, and must be fitted if a low dust environment cannot be provided.
Locations subjected to high temperature or vibration must be avoided if performance and reliability are not
to be impaired.
The power system may be mounted in any orientation, but ensure that there is sufficient clearance at each
end of the unit to allow air to enter and leave without undue restriction (15 to 20mm clearance is sufficient).
Any possibility of the air vents becoming accidentally obstructed should be prevented.
Ideally, the unit should be located in the same area as the load equipment or battery in order to minimise
voltage drop in the DC output leads, and also to ensure that the Power Charger temperature compensating
charge system samples air with the same temperature as the batteries. If a similar operating temperature
environment cannot be provided, then a remote temperature sensor is available as an option.
A range of extended output leads is available for situations where longer leads are required.
Integral flanges are provided for ease of mounting in situations where the unit needs to be secured to prevent
movement, such as in vehicles. Dimensional details and locations of the mounting holes are below.
