Grounding Instructions and Connection
6.2.1.
Charger must be grounded to reduce risk of electric shock. The charger must be connected to a
grounded, metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor (earthing
conductor) must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to equipment-grounding
terminal on charger.
6.2.2.
Connect the equipment grounding conductor to the ground lug in the charger (see Figure 1). This
lug is marked with the ground symbol. This should always be the first wire connected and the last
wire disconnected. Tighten connections to torque specified in Table 3.

DC Connection
Ensure that any battery disconnect devices in the system, if used, are opened (battery disconnected from
DC bus). Connect the DC output conductors to the DC output terminal block/breaker in the charger (see
Figure 1). Always observe proper polarity of the DC output leads. Always connect the output leads in the
following order
–
charger output to ungrounded battery terminal, followed by charger output to
grounded battery terminal. If the battery must be disconnected for service, remove the output wiring in
the reverse order. Tighten connections to torque specified in Table 4. Route DC wiring at least ¼ inch
(6 mm) away from AC wiring, alarm wiring, and the circuit board.

AC Connection
This unit is to be permanently connected to the AC circuit and to the battery. The charger is rated to
operate at full power on any 3-phase AC input within the range of 358-528VAC, 47-63Hz. The AC line to
ground voltage is limited to 277VAC maximum. The unit is rated to operate at 50% power from 188-
357VAC, 47-63Hz.
Ensure that the AC input supply is de-energized. Connect the AC line conductors to the AC input terminal
block in the charger (see Figure 1). Tighten connections to torque specified in Table 6. Route AC wiring at
least ¼ inch (6 mm) away from DC wiring, alarm wiring, and the circuit board.
