INSTALLING BATTERYPLUS35 POWER SUPPLY
Personnel
Installation is to be carried out only by suitably qualified personnel.
Ventilation, Orientation, and Thermal Considerations
The preferred orientation is with the load connection at the bottom, as shown in
Figure 1: Recommended Mounting Holes, and located such that there is a minimum
of 80 mm free air space from all vented sides of
BatteryPlus35
. This allows for the
lowest operating temperature of the internal electronics and highest reliability of the
product.
The final enclosure must also provide adequate ventilation to the outside world (or
larger internal cavity) to prevent excessive heating of the air within the enclosure.
At normal room temperature (25°C), the unit is rated to provide full power in both
vertical and horizontal orientations. At elevated temperature up to 50°C, the output
current is de-rated to 32A.
The enclosure air temperature can easily exceed 50°C if
adequate ventilation is not provided.
WARNING
The unit has over-temperature protection, meaning it will
shut down if its internal temperature rises above a safe
level. The unit will automatically restart once it has cooled
to an acceptable level.
WARNING
DO NOT install BatteryPlus35 in the same compartment
where flammable material such as petrol is stored.
WARNING
Ensure that the BatteryPlus35 is not exposed to any
liquids during installation or the installed environment.
