VENTILATION, ORIENTATION AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The preferred orientation is with the load connection at the bottom and located
so that there is a minimum of 80mm of free air space from all vented sides of the
BatteryPlus35-II. This allows for the lowest operating temperature of the internal
electronics and the highest reliability of the product.
The final enclosure must provide adequate ventilation to the outside world (or larger
internal cavity) to prevent excessive heating of the air within the enclosure.
At normal room temperature (25°C), the unit is rated to provide full power in both
vertical and horizontal orientations. At elevated temperatures of up to 50°C, the
output current is de-rated to 32A.
The BatteryPlus35-II has over-temperature protection and will shut down if
its internal temperature rises above the safe level. The BatteryPlus35-II will
automatically restart once it has cooled to an acceptable level.
WARNING
The enclosure air temperature can easily exceed 50°C if adequate ventilation is not
provided.
WARNING
Do not install the BatteryPlus35-II in a compartment where flammable material is stored,
such as petrol or LPG.
