Location
Install Tru in a location that meets the requirements set out in
Table 2-1 .
Circuits
Tru is designed to operate from a 15 amp, 120 VAC (nominal)
branch circuit. The circuit must be protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker.
Any switch in the circuit should be rated for a minimum of 10 amps for
Truec installations and 15 amps for Truec
installations. Refer to
Appendix A “Specifications” for the actual current
draw.

Condition Description
Dry The unit is intended for use in a dry location. Do not allow water
or other fluids to drip or splash on Tru. Do not mount
the charger in an area subject to rain, spray or splashing bilge
water.
Clean Do not expose Tru to metal filings or any other form of
conductive contamination. The presence of conductive
contamination can cause damage and void your warranty.
Cool For best performance, the ambient air temperature should be
between 32 °F (0 °C) and 95 °F (30 °C)– the cooler the better. At
higher ambient temperatures, the output current will be
automatically reduced to protect the charger from high internal
temperatures.
Ventilated Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance around all sides of
the Tru for air flow. Ensure that the ventilation
openings on the unit are not obstructed. If mounting in a
compartment, ventilate the compartment with louvres or cut-outs
to prevent overheating.
Safe This battery charger is Ignition Protected, so it can be installed in
areas containing gasoline tanks or fittings which usually require
Ignition Protected equipment. Xantrex recommends, however,
that it is safest not to install electrical equipment in these areas.
Close to AC
junction box Avoid the use of extended wire lengths if possible.
Close to
batteries Avoid excessive cable lengths and use the recommended wire
lengths and sizes. Undersized or overly long cables may affect
charging accuracy.
