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 26 ) 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 bar or bus. The negative 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.
15. Proceed to Step 4: Installing AC (Mains) Wiring .
Step 4: Installing AC (Mains) Wiring
Before connecting AC (mains) wiring, make sure the AC (mains)
source circuit is protected by a breaker switch of the correct size
and type, to comply with the electrical code for your location and
application. The current rating of the input breaker should not be
larger than 20 A for 120 VAC applications and 10 A for 230 VAC
applications, but may be required to be lower depending on the
wire size used.
DANGER
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect the AC (mains) source by turning off the breaker
feeding the circuit, unplugging from shore power and disconnecting
any other power sources (such as a generator).
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
