3.2.4 Battery cable
Disconnect batteries before any wiring and junction of the connector.
Please check the compatibility of voltage, current and setting according to the battery type before switching ON the
shore power unit.
Checking of the charge voltage
Before connecting the batteries to the charger, first check their polarity.
Equally check the battery voltage with a calibrated voltmeter. A too low voltage value on some types of batteries
show irreversible damage and impossibility to recharge.
Any damage due to incorrect connections will be excluded from the warranty.
For battery cables up to 3 metres, the cross-section of the battery cables should be at least equal to or greater than
the values provided in the table below:
Model
UEYPO 12-16 et 12-25
UEYPO 12-40
The installer should choose the type of cable (H07-VK, MX, etc.) according to the type of application and the applicable
standards.
The DC outputs must use a PHOENIX CONTACT connector type. If you do not have 3 batteries, the terminals non-used
bank will remain unconnected.

UEYPO 12-16, 12-25 et 12-40
PHOENIX CONTACT connector junction
Connect from left to right: -BAT, +BAT E, + BAT 1 and BAT 2.
- BAT (minus set of batteries)
+BAT E (plus engine battery for marine-type applications)
+BAT 1 (plus battery set 1)
+BAT 2 (plus battery set 2)
3.2.5 Cable linking the earth to the installation
The unit's case should be connected to the installation's earthing system in accordance with current standards
governing the relevant application.
To that effect, connect the installation-to-earth cable to the earth bar located inside the unit (see appendix 1 and 2).
This cable's cross-section should be at least 2.5mm², type HO7-VK and equipped with an appropriate terminal.
