INSTALLATION X-3
1.
The X-3 must be mounted to a secure surface using 4 x No.8 x 1

woodscrews or similar through the 5mm diameter holes in the feet of the
charger, to give a minimum clearance of at least 25mm all round.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
If a space has not been allocated for the battery during manufacture the following
must be observed before installation.
1.
The interior of the battery compartment must be protected against corrosive
effects of acid-laden gases that may be released from a battery when it is on
charge.
2.
The compartment must be ventilated at low and high level to the outside of
the van. If it is accessible from the outside it must be sealed from the inside
structure.
3.
The battery must be secured upright where it cannot tip over-it must be free
from movement when the vehicle is in motion.
The X-3 is designed to charge 12V lead acid type batteries, the capacity of the
battery must not be less than 60 ampere hour. (The bigger the battery the better).
Should the battery contain a faulty cell the terminal voltage will not rise sufficiently
to switch the charger off and the battery will eventually boil dry, the most common
cause for cell failure is discharging the battery below the recommended level,
approximately 10V.
WIRING
Using cable of at least 2.5mm sq. (50/0.25), each wire when fitted should have
identification numbers, letters, or colour codes.
Connections are made to the X-3 using

" fast on insulated crimp type connectors.
Please refer to suggested wiring diagram on page 6.
AUXILIARY BATTERY CONNECTIONS
Terminal 1 on the X-3 to positive terminal on the auxiliary battery (via 25 amp in-line
fuse supplied).
Terminal 4 on the X-3 to negative terminal on the auxiliary battery.
12S CONNECTIONS
Terminal 2 on the X-3 to pin 2 on the 12S plug
Terminal 3 on the X-3 to pin 3 on the 12S plug.
CONTROL PANEL CONNECTIONS
Terminal 1 on the X-3 to auxiliary battery connection on the control/distribution
panel.
Terminal 4 on the X-3 to negative on the control panel.
Terminal 5 on the X-3 to power remote charger " O N " indicator (if utilized).
