Delta-q IC650 - Precautions

5.0 Mechanical Installation
When considering installation space for the IC650 Charger, allowance for the charger’s convection cooling
needs are important in order to maintain maximum performance. It is also important to choose a location
that allows for the following:
 Access to the AC, DC and signal connections
 Good visibility of the charger interface, or a pathway for the use of a remote LED on the vehicle or
machine’s control interface.
 Access to the USB host port
See the “Charger Touch Temperatures” section for more information about charger temperatures and
thermal images of the charger in operation.
5.1 Convection Cooling
The IC650 Charger requires sucient airow across its surface in order to cool the internal components.
Delta-Q can assist you in tting the IC650 Charger into your vehicle or machine to allow for enough
convection airow over the charger to maximize performance even in high ambient temperatures.
Use the following tips as a guide to ensuring the charger receives enough cooling air:
 Allow sucient space around the charger for cooling air to ow.
 All orientations are possible, but mounting on a horizontal surface is best.
 In known high ambient temperature locations (>40°C), a fan may be used to direct air over the
charger surface to maximize power.
Charger de-rating statistics are shown in the “Performance Charts” section.

cooling ns.
