Mounting The Main Unit - Redarc BMS1230S2-NA Manual

2 INSTALLATION GUIDE

2.2.1 Mounting the Main Unit

Do NOT expose the Main Unit to rain, snow, or spray. For optimum operation, The
Manager30 should be mounted where the temperature is nominally below 95°F
and does not exceed a maximum of 140°F.
The Main Unit must not be installed in a location with any less than 4" clearance
at the top of the Main Unit, to allow for airflow across the heatsink fins.
The Main Unit should be installed as close as possible to the house battery. The
cable length should be less than 6½ Feet.
The Main Unit must be mounted to a flat, solid support using 1/4" sized screws
or bolts, using all four mounting holes.
The Main Unit must be fixed using suitable screw mounts. Failure to adequately mount
the unit, such as using adhesives to mount the unit will result in unreliable operation of
the charger.
REDARC recommends that the Main Unit be mounted to optimize airflow past the
heatsink. Mounting the unit horizontally (see Figure 2.2.1.1) is recommended and
mounting vertically (see Figure 2.2.1.2) is still acceptable. Do NOT mount the unit
as shown in Figure 2.2.1.3.
