2. Place the charger assembly in the desired position and mark the six mounting holes
through the six (6) mounting tabs on the housing. Use Template P/N 595247-01 provided
with the charger assembly to facilitate proper location of the holes.
3. When installed in a vehicle, the Charging System assembly must be securely mounted
in either a vertical or horizontal position using all six (6) mounting holes provided. Use
six (6) #10 at head machine screws. Recommended torque is 2.5 ft-lbs. or 30 inch-lbs.
NOTE
WHEN MOUNTING TWO OR MORE CHARGERS SIDE-BY-SIDE, THE MOUNTING HOLES
ARE DESIGNED TO OVERLAP AND NEST SO THAT TWO CHARGERS MAY BE MOUNTED
USING NINE (9) SCREWS INSTEAD OF TWELVE (12).
4. The hold down straps are reversible to attach on either the left or the right to accom-
modate most mounting situations.
5. Power supply considerations:
a) For use with the 100–240 VAC power converter, choose a location for mounting the
assembly where the power source necessary can be reached within the length of the
power supply cord which is approximately six (6) feet. Two chargers can be installed
in series (“daisy-chained”) using the supplied 4 amp power supply. Use only stranded
wire no smaller than AWG 18 gauge and no larger than AWG 14 gauge to connect
the two chargers.
b) When powered by either 12 VDC or 24 VDC supplied from the vehicle, use only stranded
wire no smaller than AWG 18 gauge and no larger than AWG 14 gauge. Use larger
wire for longer runs (over twenty feet). Multiple chargers can be installed in series
(“daisy-chained”) provided the vehicle circuit can support the required electrical draw.
Use the following guidelines to determine the maximum number of chargers that can
be connected in this way:
1 charger Maximum draw of 2 amps at 12 VDC
2 chargers Maximum draw of 4 amps at 12 VDC
3 chargers Maximum draw of 6 amps at 12 VDC
6. All wiring must be secured and must not provide a hazard to tripping or entanglement in
the chosen location. All wiring must be protected to prevent abrasion or other damage.
WARNING
WHEN MOUNTING THE CHARGER ASSEMBLY, SECURE THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD OR WIRING SO IT DOES NOT CAUSE A TRIPPING OR
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARD. PROTECT THE CORD OR WIRING FROM EDGES OR
CORNERS THAT MAY CAUSE IT TO FRAY OVER TIME. FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD OR WIRING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
If you have any questions about installing the Charger assembly, consult a qualied electrician
before proceeding.
1. Choose a suitable location for the Charger Assembly where the assembly will be readily
accessible but will not pose a hazard to occupants of the vehicle. Also, choose a location
where the Charger Assembly will not be exposed to excess moisture.
INSTALLATION OF THE CHARGER SYSTEM IN A VEHICLE
WARNING
WHEN INSTALLING WITHIN A VEHICLE, DO NOT MOUNT THE CHARGER ASSEMBLY
IN A LOCATION WHERE IT MAY PRESENT A HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS OF THE
VEHICLE. TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT,
MOUNT THE CHARGER ASSEMBLY WITHIN A CLOSED COMPARTMENT ON THE
VEHICLE. FAILURE TO PROPERLY LOCATE AND PROPERLY MOUNT THE CHARGER
ASSEMBLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
7. When the charger assembly is connected to power, the light on the charger base will
light in sequence RED-YELLOW-GREEN and then go out.
