A. See the safety instructions for important information concerning the charger location.
B. The charger should be installed in a sheltered area, protected from rain and snow.
C. The charger should not be located where temperatures are expected to be colder than -20º C, or hotter than +40º
C for operation at rated output current.
D. Allow sufficient room for routing the fixed wiring to the charger. AC input enters the left side; DC output and
alarms exit on the right.
E.
Leave clear space for ventilation all around the unit: at least 6 inches (15 cm) at the top and bottom; at least
2 inches (5 cm) on the sides.
F.
Charger should be mounted on a flat vertical surface so that the chassis does not warp when tightened to the
wall.
G. The charger should be mounted vertically, with the input and output terminal blocks lowermost.
H. Do not mount the charger over any heat generating equipment.
I.
Minimize vibrations that the charger will be subjected to.
WARNING:
OTHER MOUNTING ORIENTATIONS INTERFERE WITH PROPER
VENTILATION AND MAY CAUSE THE CHARGER TO OVERHEAT.
8. STATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS
The printed circuit board contains static sensitive components. Damage can occur even when static levels are too
low to produce a noticeable discharge shock. To avoid static discharge damage:
A. Handle the charger by the chassis only. Remove the cover only when access is essential for installation and
service, and replace it promptly when finished.
B. If possible, wear an approved static protection strap. If one is not available, touch one hand to the chassis before
contacting any other part of the charger.
9. MOUNTING PROCEDURES
The charger mounts to a wall or other vertical support. The mounting surface must safely support the charger’s
weight, which is 25 pounds (11.3 kg), and also the weight of the fixed wiring.
Mounting on a concrete surface:
•
All mounting hardware is provided by the installer.
•
Use optional ¾ inch thick, 18 in. x 24 in. sheet of marine plywood (not provided) to provide a suitable
mounting surface for the charger.
•
Drill four holes to secure the plywood to the wall using a minimum of four ¼ in. drive pin type expansion
anchors to secure the plywood to the wall. Secure the plywood to the wall.
•
Drill four holes using the mounting diagram on pg. 4 for ¼ in. (or M6) draw nut type expansion anchors
through the plywood into the cement wall.
•
Insert the four draw nut type expansion anchors through the plywood into the cement wall.
•
Mount charger to draw nut type expansion anchors with nuts and flat washers.
WARNING:
THIS CHARGER IS INTENDED FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
USE. ONLY TRAINED PERSONNEL WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO
PERFORM ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS SHOULD INSTALL OR
SERVICE THIS UNIT.
WARNING:
NEVER CHARGE STORAGE BATTERIES AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE
OR BELOW THE LIMITS SPECIFIED BY THE BATTERY
MANUFACTURER. NEVER ATTEMPT TO CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
