INSTALLATION

This paragraph deals with installation-related arrangements.
Installation and initial commissioning should be carried out by an electrician or professional installer in
accordance with the standards currently in force (for pleasure boats the applicable international
standard is ISO13297).
The installer should familiarize himself with this operating manual and inform users of the instructions
for use and the safety warnings set out in paragraph 5.
4.1

SITING THE CHARGER

The CPS2 charger should be installed as near as possible to the batteries in a dry, well-ventilated and
fully damp-proof and dust-free room. Air circulation should be unhindered.
The recommendations specified in paragraph 1 must be adhered to. It is imperative that the charger is
placed vertically (cable lead-in at the bottom).
The charger is fixed using 4 round M5 screws (screw-head diameter under 10mm so as not to hamper
the opening of the hood).
Fixing centre distance: see corresponding drawing in the appendix.

WIRING

4.2.1 Cable lead-in

The mains cable lead-in is routed through a cable gland.
The battery cable lead-in is routed through cable bushings (which can be mounted in place of the cable
glands).
The "options" cable lead-in (see paragraph 4.2.5, options) is routed through two slots located over the
cable bushings.
When connecting or disconnecting a cable, the charger's power supply must be off and the batteries
electrically insulated from the charger.
The references for additional supplies required for the appliance to operate efficiently are provided in
the following paragraphs: failure to comply with these provisions renders the warranty null and void.

4.2.2 Cable from the public AC power supply network or generator

The power cable must be connected to screw terminal board K1 (PE, ACN and ACL terminals):
PE: Earth
ACN: Neutral
ACL: Phase
Depending on line lengths, the cross-section of AC power cables must be at least equal to or greater than the
values provided in the table below*:
