INSTALLATION SITE
Install the battery charger in a dry, ventilated place and as near to the batteries as possible. The battery
charger, although having high efficiency, develops a certain amount of heat during use, therefore, it is
imperative that the installation area has sufficient ventilation, enough to allow use of the equipment at
maximum power.
The battery charger can be installed in a horizontal or vertical position with cables coming out in the
downward position. The vertical position is recommended because the natural convection of heat helps
to cool the equipment. The perimeter of the battery charger (except the base) must be kept at a distance
from walls or objects by a minimum of 5 cm.
CHARACTERISTICS AND INSTALLATION
GB
FIG.1
The cables connected to the output terminals have a maximum length of 4 metres.
WARNING: the battery charger must be used only with re-chargeable lead/liquid electrolytic
batteries or lead/gel (sealed or non-sealed).
WARNING: the outer surface of the battery charger is used as a heat sink, therefore it may reach
very high temperatures (risk of burns). Leave the equipment to cool down before handling it.
