Installing The Charger - Powerhouse N 2087 Operating Instructions Manual

DC to DC Dual Battery Charger

Installing the Charger

Installation of this unit will require twin core wiring - and suitable cable connectors
(not included). See Specifications Table for more details. Any existing cables used in
conjunction with this charger will require checking to ensure size is suitable gauge.
Where necessary, replace with suitable gauge wiring if they do not meet minimum
specifications.
• Locate where you are going to install the DC to DC charger. Ensure the charger is
located in a suitable, dry area in the vehicle or caravan.
• Ensure the charger is securely mounted using the brackets and screws provided.
Charger can be mounted overhead, vertically or horizontally.
• Measure required cable length from the main vehicle battery through to
the location of the DC to DC charger.
• Ensure all cabling meets specification and will not be exposed to excessive
heat/moving parts or abrasion.
• You can connect the optional ACC wire to the ignition of your vehicle. If ACC
wire is used, the charger will only charge from the source battery when the
ignition is on. WARNING: If you use ACC wire control with the ignition on but
the engine not running, the charger may discharge your engine battery below
the point when it can start the engine!
• If the charger is located in a camper/caravan, we recommend the use of an
Anderson style plug between the tow vehicle and the camper/caravan as shown
in the "Suggested installation to vehicle with caravan" diagram.
• Fit suitable connectors on either end of the twin core cables.
