DIRECTIONS FOR USE
3.1
Installation
Find a dry and well-ventilated area to mount the Skylla charger and battery. Keep the
distance between the charger and the battery less than 6 meters.
The charger may be wall or floor mounted. Mounting on a wall improves the air
circulation within the charger cabinet and will prolong the lifetime of the battery charger.
The holes for the mains cable, the battery connections, the remote connections and the
earth connection are located at the bottom of the battery charger housing, see
illustration 2.
Connecting earth
Connect the earth screw to a real earth-point. Connections to earth have to be according
to applicable safety standards.
On a ship: Connect the earth screw to the earth plate or to the hull of the ship.
On land: Connect the earth screw to the earth of the mains.
Mobile applications (a vehicle, a car or a caravan): Connect the earth screw to the
frame of the vehicle.
Connecting the battery
The connections between the Skylla charger and the battery are essential for a good
operation of the charger. Therefore the battery connections need tightening well. It is
important to use short and thick battery cables to minimise the voltage losses in the cable.
Cable resistance decreases accordingly as the cables become shorter and thicker.
Therefore it is not recommended to use cables longer than 6 meters. The table below
shows the recommended cable core thickness.
