Preparing For Installation

panel covers are attached and secured. 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 [shown in Figure 6 (c) and (d)] 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.

(a)

Deck Mount - this orientation meets IP-32 requirements and is drip-proof.

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?

ELECTRICAL 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 5 and Figure 6.

Horizontal Wall Mount (with AC wiring higher than DC terminals only) - this orientation meets IP-

32requirements and is drip- proof.

(b)

AC

DC

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
