Mounting The Main Unit - Redarc Manager15 Manual

2 INSTALLATION GUIDE

2.2.1 Mounting the Main Unit

Do NOT expose the Main Unit to rain, snow, spray or bilge water. For optimum
operation, The Manager15 should be mounted where the temperature is nominally
below 35°C and does not exceed a maximum of 60°C.
The Main Unit must not be installed in a location with any less than 10cm
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 Main Unit must be mounted to a flat, solid support using M6 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 optimise 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.
