The best performance will be achieved with the line charger located as close as possible to 
the batteries to be charged, and connected with cables giving minimal voltage drop. If this 
cannot be achieved, then the remote battery voltage & temperature sensor should be used. 
Further guidance is given at the end of this manual.

Mounting

The unit may be mounted in any orientation, but allow sufficient clearance around the unit for 
cooling. Mounting hole locations are shown below:

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

INCORRECT CONNECTION MAY CAUSE DAMAGE

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

WARNING: Explosive gasses may be generated by a battery on charge. To prevent 
ignition, allow time for gasses to disperse before attempting to connect this unit.

Before beginning the electrical installation, be aware that this unit automatically switches on 
when a charging voltage is present on the input supply.  It also switches on for approximately 
30 seconds when first connected to the input supply.  When on, the output is live and 
capable of delivering high current, so care must be exercised when making the output 
connection (yellow wire).  Ideally, when installing the unit on a vehicle, the engine should be 
off, and have been off for sufficient time to allow the main battery voltage to fall back to 
nominal.  The vehicle lights could be switched on to speed this process.

Four power leads are provided which should be connected in the order detailed below:
