3.3.3 Voltmeter and Ammeter link cable (only on
certain models)
These cables must have a cross-section equal to, or
greater than, 0.34mm² and be of type : KZ0506-600V.
They must have end-fittings with insulating sleeves in
accordance with NF G 63-023.
3.3.4 Installation of the earth cable
The cable linking the installation to earth has to be
connected to the earth screw situated inside the
charger.
The cable used must have a minimum cross-section of
2.5mm², be of the type HO7-VK and be fitted with a
suitable terminal.

SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
3.4.1 Case position
3.4.1.1 Preventing the charger overheating
The charger is designed to be mounted in a vertical
position as indicated in our recommendations ; please
refer to the drawings of the appendix.
An area of 150 mm from the sides of the case should
be kept clear.
The installer must make the necessary arrangements
to ensure that the temperature of the air at entry
(please refer to the drawings in the appendix) is less
than 40°C in extreme operating conditions.
Arrangements must also be made to ensure hot air can
get away either side of the charger.
3.4.1.2 Preventing running water or spray falling on
the charger
The protection factor is IP22 and the charger position
must be chosen so as to prevent any moisture or salt
entering the charger.
If this were to occur, the equipment would be
irreversibly damaged and there would be a potential
risk to the user.
You are recommended to position the charger in a
dry, well-ventilated location, away from any source of
heat.
CPSDED
3.4.1.3 Arrangements for the batteries
Batteries connected to the charger are likely to give
off explosive gases during the charging phase.
You are therefore recommended :
to ban the use of any equipment generating sparks
and flames near to the batteries.
to position the batteries in a well-aired and
ventilated location.
to take note of the battery manufacturer's
instructions when installing the batteries.
3.4.1.4 Accidental leakage currents to earth
Accidental leakage current between line and earth
Comply with standard NFC 15-100 in respect of
precautions over installation.
Have the connection work done by an electrician or
professional installer.
The charger must be connected to a system having a
two-pole differential circuit breaker with 30mA
sensitivity.
Accidental leakage current between charge circuit
and earth
Detection of accidental leakage currents to earth
must be provided by a safety device outside the
charger (residual differential current device or
insulation monitor device).
The installer must ensure that the rating and nature
of the protection are appropriate for the risks.
Special precautions are recommended on any
installation where there is a danger of electrolytic
effects.
Regulations require the presence of a battery cut-
out on the output + pole and on the output - pole.
3.4.1.5 Precautions regarding lightning strike
In geographic zones exposed to a high risk of
lightning strikes, it may be worthwhile fitting a
lightning conductor on the inlet side of the charger in
order to prevent the latter being irreversibly damaged.
