NOTES:
When planning to install the XPLORE Charger, be sure that you
consider the location and orientation carefully. The XPLORE
Charger has an IP rating of IP32 (vertical only as shown in Figure
7 ). This rating means that it meets standards to prevent dripping
water from entering the enclosure and causing shock hazard and
damage to equipment.
The other possible mounting orientations will not prevent the entry
of dripping water and therefore, not suitable for moist
environments without the installation of additional drip protection.
They are only acceptable for use in locations that are always dry.
The environment, therefore, will determine the mounting
orientations that are suitable for each installation. Is the
installation environment one that will always be dry or will
moisture or condensation sometimes enter the area?

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
In moist environments, there is a likelihood that condensation
n
will be present and may drip on to the charger. Use the
appropriate mounting orientations as shown in Figure 7 .
Ventilation openings located at the top and bottom of the
n
base mounting plate on the charger must not be obstructed.
Ensure adequate ventilation is provided to prevent over-
heating.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
