THINGS YOU NEED
Make sure you have all the parts you need to install the Chargemaster:
Quantity
Chargemaster (included)
1
Battery temperature sensor with cable and plug (included).
1
DC-cable to connect the positive DC connection (+) of the Chargemaster to the positive pole of the DC-
distribution; for specifications see section 4.3.2,
1
DC-cable to connect the negative DC connection (–) of the Chargemaster to the negative pole of the DC-
distribution; for specifications see section 4.3.2.
1
DC-fuse holder with a DC-fuse, to be integrated in the positive DC-cable. For specifications see section 4.3.2.
1
Screws / bolts (Ø 6mm) (with plugs) to mount the cabinet to a surface. Use mounting materials which are
suitable to carry the weight of the Chargemaster
4
AC cable* to connect the AC input to an external power source (e.g. a shore connection or a generator set);
1
Batteries. See section 4.3.3 for recommended capacity
X
Appropriate and reliable cable terminals, cable lugs, battery terminals and cord end terminals
X
* Double insulated three wire cable with wire colours according to the locally applicable regulations. The applicable length and
wire diameter depend on the electrical installation (see section 4.3.1).
We recommend as a minimum tool kit:
•
Socket wrench 13mm to fix the DC-input (battery) cables
•
Flat blade screw driver 1.0 x 4.0 mm to fix the screw terminals
•
Tools to fix the screws / bolts (Ø 6mm) with plugs to mount the cabinets to a surface
•
Philips screw driver to open the connection area of the Chargemaster
4.6 CONNECTION
WARNING
Let installation work be done by a licensed
electrician. Before beginning with the
connection of the wiring, make the AC
distribution as well as the DC distribution
voltage free.
CAUTION!
Short circuiting or reversing polarity may lead
to serious damage to the batteries, the
Chargemaster, the cabling and/or the terminal
connections. Fuses between the batteries and
the Chargemaster can not prevent damage
caused by reversed polarity. The damage as
a result of reverse polarity is detectable by the
service department and is not covered by the
warranty.
CAUTION!
Too-thin cables and/or loose connections can
cause dangerous overheating of the cables
and/or terminals. Therefore tighten all
connections well, in order to limit transition
resistance as far as possible. Use cables of
the correct size.
NOTE:
If the battery temperature remains within 15-
25°C, connection of the battery temperature
sensor is optional.
NOTE:
The Chargemaster is only feasible for the
connection of MasterBus compatible remote
control panels.
