LOCATION, MOUNTING AND SAFETY
The charger is required to be installed in a safe, well ventilated and dry location. Please see
the details given under "Important Safety Precautions".
The charger can be mounted horizontally or vertically. When mounting vertically, please
ensure that the axis of the fan rotor is horizontal (to reduce stress on the bearing).

•
For SEC-1260A
