VENTILATION, ORIENTATION AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The preferred orientation is with the load connection at the bottom, as shown in
figure 2: Recommended mounting holes and located such that there is a minimum
of 80 mm free air space from all vented sides of BatteryPlus35-II. This allows for the
lowest operating temperature of the internal electronics and the highest reliability of
the product.
The final enclosure must provide adequate ventilation to the outside world (or larger
internal cavity) to prevent excessive heating of the air within the enclosure.
At normal room temperature (25°C), the unit is rated to provide full power in both
vertical and horizontal orientations. At elevated temperature up to 50°C, the output
current is de-rated to 32A.
WARNING
The enclosure air temperature can easily exceed
50°C if adequate ventilation is not provided.
WARNING
Do not install BatteryPlus35-II in the same compartment
where flammable material such as petrol or LPG is stored.
The BatteryPlus35-II has over-temperature protection and will shut down if its
internal temperature rises above safe level. The BatteryPlus35-II will automatically
restart once it has cooled to an acceptable level.
