Installation 

1.1 

Mounting 

Th

e RHF is designed with simple installation in mind.  The system is 

wall mounted using four #10 bolts.  To mount the RHF on the wall, 

install two #10 bolts on the wall rated to support the charger 

weight plus a safety factor of at least two times.  Place the RHF on 

the bolts, add appropriate mounting hardware and tighten. Add the 

additional two bolts with the appropriate mounting hardware and 

tighten.  Refer to the figure to the left for mounting dimensions.    

 

1.2 

Connections 

After the RHF is mounted, the input and output connections can be 

made.    The  RHF  is  equipped  with  ¼”  AAR  style  hardware  for  the 

input  and  output  connections.    Connect  the  AC  input  to  the 

terminals  marked  “Φ1”  and  “Φ2”.    Connect  the  DC  output  to  the 

terminals  marked  “+”  and  “–“  (observe  proper  polarity).    Connect 

the ground to the center ground terminal.  See the figure below. 

 

 

 

1.2.1  Charger Fail Alarm (located on the bottom of the unit) 

The RHF unit is equipped with a single set of Form C dry type relay contacts for Charger 

Fail Alarm. The Alarm will activate when the unit is unable to regulate the output voltage. 

The alarm will activate also when the Low Current alarm will be enabled (in configuration 

mode) and the charging current drops down to 0.5 amps.  The connection for the alarm is 

made by pushing in a small flat head screwdriver  to open the contact point, then placing 

the wire in and releasing.
