Wire color Meaning Connect to:
Red Positive + (POS)
Black Negative – (NEG)
Run the positive and negative cables next to
each other to limit the electromagnetic field
around the cables. The negative cable should be
connected directly to the negative post of the
battery bank or the ground side of a current
shunt. Do not use the chassis frame as the
negative conductor. Tighten securely.
The positive battery cable must be fused and
connected to the positive post of the battery
bank. Use a fuse that matches the applied wire
size. The fuse with fuse-holder is available from
your local Mastervolt distributor.
3.3.2 AC wiring
WARNING!
On first connecting to power,
make sure the ChargeMaster
Plus is in a well-ventilated area as
it might spark.
For a safe installation the correct wire cross
section must be applied. Do not use a cross
section that is smaller than indicated. See the
following table to select the appropriate cross
section for the AC wiring (up to 6m / 20ft length):
AC Current Minimum cross section
6-12A 1.5mm² / AWG14
12-20A 2.5mm² / AWG12
20-32A 4.0mm² / AWG10

must be incorporated in the AC wiring, in
accordance with wiring rules.
3.3.3 AC safety grounding
WARNING!
The ground wire offers protection
only if the enclosure of the
ChargeMaster Plus is connected
to the safety ground. Connect the
ground terminal (PE / GND) to the
hull or the chassis.
CAUTION!
According to local regulations an
RCD/Breaker (also known as
GFCI) must be placed in the AC
input circuit of the ChargeMaster
Plus.
For Australia and New Zealand,
the wiring rules are in accordance
with AS/NZS 3000.
3.3.4 Network wiring (CZone/MasterBus)
The ChargeMaster Plus can be connected to a
CZone or MasterBus network. Use an RJ45 Drop
cable CZone/MB or MasterBus cable and daisy
chain the ChargeMaster Plus to the other
devices, forming a local data network. Both
networks need a terminating device on both
ends of the network. Do not make ring networks
or T-connections.
