2. Quick start guide
1.
Mount the charger vertically (with terminals facing down) on a non-flammable substrate; secure using the 4 mounting holes
on the base. Ensure there is at least 10cm of clearance below and above the charger for airflow/cooling.
2.
Connect DC cabling between the charger's BATTERY terminals and the battery or DC system distribution bus; all LEDs will
illuminate briefly when DC power is connected.
a. Ensure that the DC system is fully shut down (all DC loads and charge sources off/isolated) prior to disconnection of
any existing battery/DC system distribution bus cabling and connection of the charger to the battery terminals/DC system
distribution bus.
b. Use flexible multi stranded copper cable with sufficient cross sectional area, inline with an appropriate fuse or circuit
breaker.
c. Ensure that wiring polarity is correct; use red cabling for the + (positive) connections and black cabling for the - (negative)
connections.
3.
Connect the AC power cable to a mains power outlet; all LEDs will illuminate briefly when the charger is powered up, then
the LED indicating the charge state will illuminate.
