INSTALLATION
This paragraph deals with installation-related arrangements.
Installation and initial commissioning should be carried out by an electrician or professional installer in
accordance with the standards currently in force (for pleasure boats the applicable international standard is
ISO13297).
The installer should familiarize himself with this operating manual and inform users of the instructions for
use and the safety warnings set out in the manual.
The charger is fixed by 4 M5 round screws (diameter of the screw < 10mm in order to allow the opening of
the cover).
Fixing distance: see the corresponding drawing in chapter charger charger overall dimensions.

3.2.1.
Cable lead-in
The mains cable lead-in is routed through a cable gland.
The battery cable lead-in is routed through cable bushings (which can be mounted in place of the cable
glands).
The "accessory" cable lead-in (see paragraph accessories) is routed through 3 slots located over the cable
bushings.
When connecting or disconnecting a cable, the charger's power supply must be off and the batteries
electrically insulated from the charger.
The references for additional supplies required for the appliance to operate efficiently are provided in the
following paragraphs: failure to comply with these provisions renders the warranty null and void.
3.2.2.
Cable from the public AC power supply network or generator
All CPS3 battery chargers can operate automatically on single phase networks from 85 to 265VCA and from
47 to 65Hz.
Generators:
The CRISTEC battery chargers are designed to operate from a generator.
Be careful: In some cases, the generators can produce high over voltages, in particular during
starting phase. Before connecting the charger, please check its compatibility with the characteristics
of the generator: power, voltage, overvoltage, frequency, current... It’s highly advised to disconnect
the charger from the AC network during the generator starting phase.
The power cable must be connected to screw terminal board K1 (PE, ACN and ACL terminals):
PE: Earth - ACN: Neutral - ACL: Phase
Depending on line lengths, the cross-section of AC power cables must be at least equal to or greater than the
values provided in the table below :
Model
Minimum cross-section
CPS3/12-100
3 x 4 mm²
CPS3/24-120
3 x 6 mm²
CPS3/48-60
3 x 6 mm²
The type of cable (H07-VK, MX, etc.) should be defined by the installer according to the application type
and the enforceable standards.
