INSTALLATION
Congratulations for choosing the Mastervolt EASY
CHARGE battery charger. Before using, please read
the entire manual, in particular the section
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
BEFORE INSTALLATION:
Check the charger and the cables for possible
damage. Do not use if damaged. If in doubt,
contact your supplier.
Disconnect the AC mains plug from the wall
socket.
Disconnect all loads from the battery.
CHOOSING A LOCATION TO INSTALL
Obey the following stipulations during installation:
Ambient
operating
temperature: -20°C ... 50°C / -
4°F … 122°F (power de-rating above 40°C /
104°F to decrease the internal temperature).
The battery charger must be mounted to a
vertical, solid and heat-resistant surface, with the
connection cables downwards.
Make sure that the hot air that is developed during
operation can be discharged.
No objects must be located within a distance of 20
cm / 8 inch around the battery charger.
Locate the battery charge as far away from the
battery as DC cables permit.
Do not install the battery charge straight above
the batteries because of possible corrosive
sulphur fumes.
Do not cut the connection cables of the battery
charger.
Although the battery charger fully complies with all
applicable EMC limits, it may still cause harmful
interference to radio communication equipment. If
such interference appears, it is recommended to
increase the separation between the battery
charger and the equipment, to relocate the
receiving antenna or to connect the equipment to
a circuit different from that to which the battery
charger is connected.
INSTALLATION STEP BY STEP
Mark the position of the four mounting spots.
Remove the charger and drill the mounting holes.
Fix the charger to the wall using corrosion resistant
4.8mm (3/16”) dia. or M5 (#10) bolts, backed by a flat
washer, and secured to the mounting surface with a
split-ring lock washer.
When connecting the battery, the ungrounded
terminal must be connected first. Connect the RED
charger output to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
post; connect the BLACK charger output to the
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, –) battery post.
See CONNECTION DIAGRAMS for details.
Insert the mains plug in a grounded wall socket.
