Preparing For Installation

IMPROPER INSTALLATION BY AN UNQUALIFIED INSTALLER
The battery charger must be installed by a qualified installer in
accordance with all applicable local or national installation codes.
Examples of such codes are the US National Electrical Code (NFPA 70),
the American Boat & Yacht Council standards E-11 and A-31, and the
US Coast Guard Electrical Regulations (33CFR183).
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or
damage other equipment.
NOTE: The Truecharge2 Battery Charger is designed to be permanently
mounted. Figure 4 shows a typical installation with three batteries, a battery
temperature sensor (BTS) and a remote panel (both optional). It also shows
the AC and DC wiring and protection devices required for a typical
installation. Means of over-current protection and disconnection must be
incorporated into the fixed wiring, in accordance with the electrical code
that governs each installation.
