Installing a Battery Heater
For colder climates, Clearfield recommends using an optional battery heater to prevent batteries from freezing and to pro
-
long battery life. A battery heater supports one battery string.
If the cabinet is equipped with an optional riser to support a second battery string, then a second battery heater would be
required.
The battery heater is controlled by a thermostat set for the following operation:
• 0° C
– Battery heater turns On.
• 12° C
– Battery heater turns Off.
Note:
The battery heater sits directly underneath the battery string. You must install the heater into the battery compartment
before installing batteries.
To install a battery heater
Unpack the battery heater from the shipping packaging.
Remove the battery compartment door. See
Operating Cabinet Doors
for instructions.
Orient the battery heater with the heating element on the bottom (face down) and the power cord on the right
side, then slide the heater into the battery compartment.
Plug the power cord into the AC outlet, located on the right-side wall of the battery compartment.
After you install batteries, place the thermostat wire for the heater on top of the battery string. See
Installing
Batteries
for installation instructions.
At the AC load center, switch
ON
the 20A Conv. Outlet breaker to apply power.
