Preparing for Installation

Location

Install the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger in a location that meets the following requirements:

Condition	Requirement

Dry	The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger must be installed in a dry
	location not subject to moisture especially rain, spray, or
	splashing bilge water.

Clean	The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger should not be exposed to
	metal filings or any other form of contamination.

Cool	The ambient air temperature should be between 0 °C - 50 °C
	(32 °F - 122 °F) for best performance.

Ventilated	There must be at least 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance on the top and
	bottom ends of the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger for air flow
	and at least 6 cm (2.5 in.) of clearance on either side (see Figure
	2-3). Ventilation openings on the charger must not be obstructed.
	If the charger is mounted in a tight fitting compartment, the
	compartment must be ventilated with cut-outs to prevent the
	charger overheating.

Safe	This battery charger is ignition protected, so it can be installed in
	areas containing gasoline tanks or fittings which require ignition
	protected equipment. Xantrex recommends, however, that it is
	safest not to install electrical equipment in these areas.

Close to	The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger should be installed as close
batteries	as possible to the batteries, but not in the same compartment to
	prevent corrosion. Avoid excessive cable lengths and use the
	recommended wire sizes. Xantrex recommends installing with
	cables sized to achieve less than 3% voltage drop on battery
	cables under full load. This will maximize the performance of the
	charger.
