Batteries are capable of providing much energy in a very short time. Prevent short
circuits any way. For example walking over the cables or damaging the cables or
connector by improper use.

Do not shorten the length of the charge cable.
3. Mounting and installation
The power supply / battery charger is not suited for outdoor use.
Use the battery charger in a dry, well ventilated place.
Keep at least an area of 10cm around the enclosure for proper battery charger cooling.
During charging, the enclosure can become hand warm. This is normal.
The 20A version is equipped with a build in fan, operating automatically when the internal
battery charger temperature increases. For all versions the output power will be reduced in
case of insufficient cooling or too high ambient temperatures. When charging, the time
required for the total charge process may increase. In power supply mode the maximum
output current will be limited. For this reason, do not subject the battery charger to direct
sunlight.
Connections:
The battery charger is equipped with a EU plug for connection to the 220-240V/50Hz mains
grid. Connect the power supply/battery charger to the mains
after
the battery is connected.
The output cable has 3 connections:
Connect (A) to the battery or 12V system with one of the two included connection cables.
Red is positive (+) and black is minus (-).
For fixed installations the connection cable with the Ring Tongues are recommended.
The crocodile clamp connection cable should not be used to charge a battery in a fixed
setup.
Connector (B) is not used.
Now the power supply/battery charger can be connected to the mains.
Important note:
Always disconnect the power supply / battery charger from the mains if
the battery has to be installed or removed or replaced.
