Mounting Requirements
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
Do not cover or obstruct ventilation openings and/or heat sink. Do not
mount in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
serious injury, or equipment damage
The charge controller should only be installed in locations that meet the
following requirements:
Dry Do not allow water or other fluids to drip or splash on the charge
controller.
Cool Ambient air temperature should be between 0 ºC and 40 º C (32 ºF
and 104 º F)—the cooler the better within this range.
Ventilated Allow at least 15cm (10 inches) of clearance at the top and bottom
edges of the charge controller for air flow. Ensure that ventilation
openings and heatsink or back plane on the unit are not obstructed.
Safe Do not install the charge controller in the same compartment as
batteries or in any compartment capable of storing flammable
liquids like gasoline.
Close to the battery Do not use excessive DC cable lengths: they increase wire
resistance and reduce input power.
Protected from battery
gases
Do not mount the charge controller where it will be exposed to
gases produced by the batteries. These gases are very corrosive
and prolonged exposure will damage the equipment.
Wall mounting Choose a wall location that is accessible, close to the battery, but
well-ventilated. See Mounting Template on page 37 for the
mounting template.
