4. Mounting and Electrical Connections
4.1 Installing the Nomad charge controller
For optimal performance, please refer to the following instructions regarding the installation and setup
of your newly purchased Nomad.
4.1.1 Selecting a suitable location
When selecting a location to mount your charge controller, take note of the following:
1. The Nomad charge controller should be mounted indoors, in a well-ventilated area out
of direct sunlight, where the ambient temperature does not exceed 45°C (derating
applies).
2. The Nomad is designed to be wall-mounted, and must therefore be installed upright in
a vertical position, with a clearance of 200mm above and below, to allow sufficient
cooling and airflow. The wall must be able to take the full weight, otherwise use a
mounting frame.
3. The battery leads should be as short as possible, so that the Nomad charge controller
will need to be in close proximity to the batteries. (Standard cables length of cable are
available as optional accessories).
Note: At high altitudes natural thermal convection (natural thermal cooling) of the all electrical
equipment is degraded. This is due a lower air density available to remove heat from the heatsink. The
Nomad is rated for altitudes up to 1000m above sea level. If it is going to be installed in an area where
the altitude is greater than 1000m above sea level, refer to the power derating graph (Figure 1) to
establish the maximum continuous load.
4.1.2 Mounting
Once a suitable location for the Nomad has been chosen, use the following information as a guide to
make the mounting process easier using an M5x35 wall anchor:
1. Using an appropriate bit masonry drill bit (typically 7mm), drill 2 holes 45mm deep and
135mm apart. It is recommended to use the bracket as a template.
2. Insert the wall anchor bolts through the bracket into the holes, and tighten with a
screwdriver, fixing the bracket to the wall.
3. Hold the Nomad vertically and lift it onto the mounting bracket.
