Grounding Instructions

WARNING: Electric shock hazard
Have an electrician install a properly grounded circuit if one is not
available. Improper connection can result in risk of an electric
shock.
The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger Battery Charger must be
connected to a grounded, metal permanent wiring system, or
an equipment-grounding conductor should be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to equipment-grounding
lead on the charger. Connections to the battery charger should
comply with all local and application-specific codes and
ordinances.
Xantrex recommends that you install a DC chassis ground
(earth) from the ground stud on the Truecharge™ 2 Battery
Charger to the engine bus or DC ground bus. The DC chassis
ground (earth) should be sized correctly with the power
conductors, and both must be sized for the battery fuses that
are used to protect the DC wiring. Refer to your local
electrical codes to verify the requirements in your jurisdiction
for your application.
Powering Up
Make one last check that all connections and connectors are
secure.
The Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger charger may now be
powered up. Switch the AC power on at the source breaker. It
is normal to see a 7-10 second delay while the charger powers
up. During this time, the indicator LEDs on the onboard
display and the remote panel will illuminate for a second
(power on test) before reporting charging and battery status
information.
Note:
is applied and battery bank 1 voltage is above 9V.
