Installation

When planning to install the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger, be sure that you consider the location and orientation carefully. The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger is considered to have an IP rating of IP-32, if installed in either of two specific orientations [shown in Figure 2-2 a) and b)]. This rating means that it meets standards to prevent dripping water from entering the enclosure, and causing shock hazard and damage to equipment.

The other possible mounting orientations will not prevent the entry of dripping water, and are not suitable for marine or other moist environments without the installation of additional drip protection. They are only acceptable for use in locations that are always dry [shown in Figure 2-2 c) and d)].

The environment, therefore, will determine the mounting orientations that are suitable for each installation. Is the installation environment one that will always be dry or will moisture or condensation sometimes enter the area?

WARNING: Shock hazard

In marine environments, there is a likelihood that condensation will be present, and may drip on to the charger. Use the appropriate mounting orientations as shown in Figure 2-2.
