Mounting The Charger
• Choose an appropriate mounting location.
•
For installing in an indoor location, the unit should be mounted vertically (with the
battery terminals facing downwards). This provides the best thermal performance and
drip protection. The unit should NOT be mounted upside down.
•
For installing in a boat or marine environment, the unit should only be mounted vertically
(Battery Terminals facing downwards only) to provide adequate drip protection.
•
Use the base of the charger as a mounting template to mark the positions of the xing
screws.
•
Drill the 4 xing holes and place the Charger in position and fasten the unit to the mounting
surface.

BEST PRACTICE
This Charger SHOULD BE CORRECTLY GROUNDED.
The unit chassis has a stud point on it for grounding. Connect the unit’s chassis ground to
the common ground point through the ground stud located near one of the unit mounting

An individual fuse or breaker is required to be installed within 20cm of the both the start
battery and house battery bank.
A DC isolator or fuse is also recommended for the solar input.
All devices must be rated for DC voltage and current.
The solar input fuse or breaker must be able to withstand the short circuit current rating
stated on the solar panel array.
All wiring must conform or exceed the recommendations stated in this manual (page 17).
