MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Mount the charger by the mounting
plate using appropriate fasteners
(i.e., locking ¼” or M6 bolts),
and all of the mounting slots provided.
If mounting in an enclosed area, test
the charger and monitor it for reduced
power operation. If mounting the charger
vertically, there are two considerations:
charger performance and charger life. The
charger’s internal temperature sensor is
located approximately 2.5cm (1”) behind the
DC output cord strain relief. For performance
closest to horizontal installation: Place the DC
output at the lower end of the charger to delay
thermal cutback, maximize charger output,
but potentially cause higher temperatures
inside the charger.
For potentially better life: Keeping
the temperature sensor higher will
result in earlier thermal cutback
of power, minimizing internal temperatures
and minimizing potential component failures.
However, there is no data to demonstrate the
amount of lifetime savings that may be gained
by using this orientation over the above.
