Installing the XC Series

Final DC Connections

WARNING: Shock hazard

Make sure that the DC fuse or circuit breaker is still open.

To make the last DC connections:

1.Connect the negative cable from the negative terminal on the battery (if you are using only one battery or bank), or the negative ground bar or bus (if you are using more than one battery or bank), to the negative DC terminal on the

XC Series (Figure 2-1). Use a flatwasher, a lockwasher and a nut (5 included in the installation kit) to secure the connection.

Tighten the nuts to 3 N-m (30 lb-in.) torque and test that the wire is secure.

2.Connect each positive cable to the correct positive DC terminal on the

XC Series (Figure 2-1). Use a flatwasher, a lockwasher and a nut (5 included in the installation kit) to secure the connection.

Tighten the nuts to 3 N-m (30 lb-in.) torque and test that the wire is secure.

3.Connect the free end of each positive cable to the correct positive terminal of the battery, using sufficient torque as recommended by your battery manufacturer.

4.Connect the free end of the negative cable to the negative terminal on the battery, using sufficient torque as recommended by your battery manufacturer. Note: If you are using more than one battery, you will need to connect the negative cable from each of the batteries to the negative ground bar or bus. The negative ground bar or bus will then have a single negative cable connecting to the negative charger terminal.

5.Before proceeding, carefully check the wiring polarity – make sure the positive terminals of the XC Series are connected to the correct terminals of the battery (fuses or breakers) and from there to the positive terminals of the battery. Make sure the negative terminal of the XC Series is connected to the battery negative terminal (or engine negative bus/DC negative bus). Do not reverse the connections.

6.Install the DC chassis ground (earth) from the ground stud on the XC Series to the engine negative bus or DC ground bus.

7.Connect the BTS cable and the remote display cable to the rear of the charger.
