Truecharge2 Series Battery Charger Owner’s Guide
Preparing For Installation
NOTE:
The Truecharge2 Battery Charger is designed to be permanently
mounted. Figure 4 shows a typical installation with three batteries, a battery
temperature sensor (BTS) and a remote panel (both optional). It also shows
the AC and DC wiring and protection devices required for a typical
installation. Means of over-current protection and disconnection must be
incorporated into the fixed wiring, in accordance with the electrical code
that governs each installation.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION BY AN UNQUALIFIED INSTALLER
The battery charger must be installed by a qualified installer in
accordance with all applicable local or national installation codes.
Examples of such codes are the US National Electrical Code (NFPA 70),
the American Boat & Yacht Council standards E-11 and A-31, and the
US Coast Guard Electrical Regulations (33CFR183).
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or
damage other equipment.
