8. Connect the positive cable to the correct positive DC
terminal on the XPLORE Charger. See Polarity
connections .
9. Tighten the flare nut to 20 lb-in.(2.3 N-m) torque and test by
tugging that the wire is secure. Do not over-tighten as this
may result in damage to the XPLORE Charger.
10. If there are additional battery banks to connect, repeat the
preceding steps for each additional battery bank. See
Polarity connections .
11. Connect the free end of each positive cable assembly (that
is, from the DC terminal of the DC circuit breaker or the DC
fused disconnect from the previous step
on page 24 ) to the
correct positive terminal of the battery, using sufficient
torque as recommended by your battery manufacturer.
12. Connect the free end of the negative cable to the correct
negative terminal of the battery, using sufficient torque as
recommended by your battery manufacturer.
NOTE: If you are using more than one battery, you will need
to connect the negative cable from each of the batteries to
the negative ground bar or bus. The negative ground bar or
bus will then have a single negative cable connecting to the
negative charger terminal.
DANGER
EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE HAZARD
This final connection of the DC battery circuit will likely generate an
arc. Ensure all areas of the system, including batteries and engine
compartments, are well ventilated prior to making this connection.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
13. Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or cable straps
according to electrical codes.
14. If applicable, route the optional battery temperature sensor
(BTS) from the battery (one which is located in the warmest
ambient temperature) to the charger location.
