3.3 Unpacking
When unpacking, check that the equipment has not been damaged during transportation and that
all accessories listed below are present. Any fault must be indicated immediately to the product
distributor or the contact given at the back of this manual.
Check the packaging and the Xtender carefully.
Standard accessories:
Installation and operating instructions, c.f. Appendix 1
Mounting plate – fig. 2a (18)
2 conduit glands for the battery cable
3.4 Installation site
The installation site for the Xtender is of particular importance and must satisfy the following
criteria:
Protection from any unauthorised person.
Protection from water and dust and in a place with no condensation.
It must not be situated directly above the battery or in a cabinet with it.
No easily inflammable material should be placed directly underneath or close to the Xtender.
Ventilation apertures must always remain clear and be at least 15cm from any obstacle that may
affect the ventilation of the equipment according to fig. 2b.
In mobile applications it is important to select an installation site that ensures as low a vibration
level as possible.
3.5 Fastening
The Xtender is a heavy unit and must be mounted to a wall designed to bear such a
load. A simple wooden panel is insufficient.
The Xtender must be installed vertically with sufficient space around it to guarantee adequate
ventilation of the device (see figs. 2a and 2b).
If the Xtender is installed in a closed cabinet this must have sufficient ventilation to guarantee an
ambient temperature that conforms to the operation of the Xtender.
Firstly, fit the mounting bracket (18) supplied with the device, using 2 Ø <6-8 mm> screws**.
Then hang the Xtender on the bracket. Fasten the unit permanently using 2 Ø <6-8 mm>
screws** on to the two notches located at the underside of the case.
**: These items are not delivered with the device.
It is imperative to ensure complete and safe fastening of the device. A device that is
simply hung may detach and cause severe damage.
In motor vehicles or when the support may be subject to strong vibrations, the Xtender must be
mounted on anti-vibration supports.
