INSTALLATION

GB

The positive terminal of the battery or of the group of batteries must be connected to one of the
positive terminals of the battery charger. The negative terminal of the battery or of the group of
batteries must be connected to the negative terminal of the battery charger. To make the con-
nections use the cable terminals supplied with the equipment.

If the installation has only one or two groups of batteries, always connect the output marked
“MASTER”. This is the main outlet of the battery charger.
If the “MASTER” is not connected, the battery charger may supply an output lower voltage than
rated and therefore less power.
It is advisable to connect the group of batteries which are used more often (typically the ser-
vice group) to the MASTER output terminal.

The positive output terminals that are not used must be kept free (do not bridge the terminals).

WARNING:

the use of inadequate size cables and the incorrect connection of terminals

or electrical joints may result in dangerous overheating of the connecting terminals or
cables.

CONTROL SIGNALS

The battery charger is provided with a 9-pin female D-shell connector (DB9 connector, see
Fig. 3a) which indicates the signals which can be used for monitoring and controlling the
equipment.
