DANGER:
The unit is heavy. Use appropriate lifting methods.
WARNING:
Care must be used when lifting the enclosure to the mounting bracket to avoid any
contact with the inductors to prevent their damage.
To install the VCSII enclosure on the bracket, partially put the two top screws (M6x20) on both sides of
the enclosure. They will be used to hang the unit on the bracket. Carefully lift the enclosure placing close
attention to the rear magnetics so they are not damaged. Once the enclosure is hung, the bottom two
mounting bolts can be installed and all tightened (Torque to 4.5N-m, 40in-lb).
Conduit enters the bottom of the enclosure through provided knockouts. Drilling extra holes into the
enclosure is not recommended. The turbine leads enter on the left side of the enclosure, while the
battery connections are on the right side.
WARNING:
Clearance is required all sides of the enclosure for proper cooling.
Clearance is required on all sides of the VCSII to ensure proper cooling by natural convection. Each side
of the enclosure requires at least 6 inches (150mm) of clearance and the top and bottom of the
enclosure requires a minimum of 12inches (300mm) to ensure a free flow of air through the rear
mounted heatsinks. The VCS II does not use nor require fans for cooling for normal operation. The door
is hinged on the bottom - ensure that there are no obstructions to the door opening.
