Installation
MOUNTING
When mounting your unit, take the
following into consideration:
• The indicator LEDs and front panel
controls should be easy to read and
access.
• There are at least 2 inches of
clearance all around the charger for
adequate air circulation and heat
dissipation.
• The battery should be close to the
charger to easy connection and to
prevent trampling of the wiring.
• If there is possibility of water drippage, such as if the charger is in a marine environment,
install the optional drip shield above the unit.
Red Input Lead - Positive DC Terminal
Black Input Lead - Negative DC Terminal
Normally these leads should be adequate to connect to the DC power source, however, if you
must extend the leads, be sure to:
•
Use the smallest extension length possible.
•
Use a good quality (typeTEW) wire
•
Use no less than 14 gauge conductors.
•
Splice and solder the joints and protect the joints with heat shrink tubing.
INPUT POWER CONNECTION
The unit is equipped with two 3-foot/1 meter Type D Stranded AWG14 wire leads to serve as
a DC Input Connection. Connect these leads to the DC power source in the polarity indicated.
DANGER:
Do not connect or disconnect anything to the unit while it is powered.
To reduce the risk of high voltage electric shock, never connect or disconnect anything to the
BCDi320 while it is ON.
