3.3.3. Installation earthing cable
The cable linking the installation to earth MUST be connected to the earth terminal
situated outside the charger.
The cable used must have a minimum cross-section of 2.5 mm², be of the type HO7
VK and be fitted with a suitable terminal.
3.4 Special recommendations for installation
3.4.1. Case position
3.4.1.1. Preventing the charger overheating
The charger is designed to be mounted on a vertical wall.
An area of 150 mm from the sides of the case, and an area of 200mm of the top
and bottom should be kept clear.
Cooling is provided by forced ventilation on certain models.
The installer must make the necessary arrangements to ensure that the
temperature of the air at entry ( bottom of the case ) 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 IP20 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.
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.
