Ascend Single Phase Charger Operation Manual
3. INSTALLATION
3.1. Storage
If the equipment is not to be placed in immediate service, it should be kept in a clean and dry area and
protected from water, condensation, dirt, and extremes of temperature. Do not stack the Chargers.
3.2. Unpacking and Inspection
Upon receipt of the unit, inspect the equipment for damage. If it has been damaged during shipment,
keep the packing materials, and contact the carrier to file a claim for shipping damage.
Carefully remove the packing materials from the Charger. After all the external packing materials have
been removed, inspect inside the Charger for any other temporary shipping materials which may have
been used. Materials such as tape, which may be used to hold relays in their sockets, should be removed
and discarded.
3.3. Mechanical Installation
The equipment should be located in a controlled environment (an environment relatively free of
conductive contaminations and a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area). Adequate
ventilation should be provided by allowing at least three feet of space in front of the equipment, at least
one foot above the equipment and 6 inches on all vented surfaces.
The 20A & 40A Ascend Charger is designed to mount to the wall using the mounting flanges on the sides
of the enclosure. The wall should be strong enough to support the Ascend weight, plus a safety factor.
The 20A & 40A charger is designed to be lifted from the bottom by a pallet jack or lift truck. The
modules may be removed to lighten the unit. A separate floor mounting stand can be ordered as a
factory option.
The 20A & 40A charger is mounted to the wall using six (6) 0.25 in (6.4mm) bolts (not provided), see
below for hole locations. The 60A-100A is designed for floor mounting. Four (4) 0.25 in (6.4mm) anchor
bolts (not provided) may be used to mount to the floor. Refer to the outline drawings in the Appendix of
this manual.
Cable entrance is available through the top or top right side of the equipment. Prefab knockouts are
provided on the enclosure top and right side. The power connection terminals are located behind the AC
Input circuit breaker, and the alarm connections are located on the rear. Reference the outline drawing
for detailed connection locations.
