ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS OF THE INSTRUMENT
The charge separator complies with EMC standards (electromagnetic compatibility) but requires correct installa-
tion to avoid compromising its performance and that of the instruments in the vicinity.
For this reason the charge separator must be positioned at a distance of at least:
• 25 cm away from the compass.
• 50 cm away from any radio receivers.
• 2 m away from radar beams.
Follow the rules below for construction of the electrical installation relative to the charge separator:
• Use insulated wire terminals for connection to the charge separator terminals.
• Use wires with an adequate cross-section and as short as possible.
• The electrical connections must be made in compliance with local rulings on electrical installations.
WARNING: before connecting the batteries, check the polarity of the cables carefully.
WARNING: before connecting or disconnecting wires from the electrical terminals of the charge separators
make sure that the wires are not live.
WARNING: the use of wires with an inadequate cross-section and incorrect connection of the terminals or
of the electrical joints can cause dangerous overheating of the connections and of the wires.
