Mounting the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger

Mount the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger using all four mounting slots and holes which are provided. Mounting orientations a) and b) in Figure 2-2 meet IP-32 and drip-proof requirements that are needed to ensure safety in the presence of condensation. The other possible mounting orientations c) and d) also shown in Figure 2-2 will not prevent the entry of dripping water, and are not suitable for use in marine installations or other moist environments without the installation of additional drip protection. They are only acceptable for use in locations that are always dry.

To mount the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger:

1.Select a mounting surface that is flat and allows for a minimum of 10 cm (4 in.) of clearance on the top and bottom ends for air flow and at least 6 cm (2.5 in.) of clearance on either sides (see Figure 2-3, “Ventilation Clearance” on page 2–7).

2.Drill the four pilot holes for the mounting screws, taking care that there is nothing behind the surface that can be damaged by the drill.

3.Mount the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger using corrosion resistant, #6 (3 mm) round, pan head (or similar) screws.

The top two keyhole-style mounting holes can be used to hold the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger in place while fastening the bottom two screws. For secure, permanent mounting, use the holes in all four mounting flanges and fasten all four screws. Do not rely on screws only in the keyhole slots for the installation of the charger.
