ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

3.1 H
ANDLING AND MOVING
The weight of the Xtender can be up to 50kg depending upon the model. Use an appropriate lifting
method as well as help from a third party when installing the equipment.
3.2 S
TORAGE
The equipment must be stored in a dry environment at an ambient temperature of between
-20°C and 60°C. It stays in the location where it is to be used a minimum of 24 hours before being set up.
3.3 U
NPACKING
When unpacking, check that the equipment has not been damaged during transportation and that
all accessories listed below are present. Any fault must be indicated immediately to the product
distributor or the contact given at the back of this manual.
Check the packaging and the Xtender carefully.
Standard accessories:
 Installation and operating instructions, c.f. Appendix 1.
 Mounting plate for XTH and XTS– fig. 2a (25)(26).
 One set of cable glands on the unit and/or apart.
 Four M6 screws and washer for XTS to assemble the support and the enclosure.

NSTALLATION SITE

3.4.1 XTM and XTH

Devices in the XTM and XTH range are designed for indoor use (IP20) and the place of installation
must satisfy the following criteria:
 Protected from any unauthorised person.
 Protected from water and dust and in a place with no condensation.
 It must not be situated directly above the battery or in a cabinet with it.
 No easily inflammable material should be placed directly underneath or close to the Xtender.
 Ventilation apertures must always remain clear and be at least 20cm from any obstacle that
may affect the ventilation of the equipment.
 In mobile applications, it is important to select an installation site that ensures as low a
vibration level as possible.
 According to the IEC/EN 62109-1 norm, the level of pollution at the mounting place should
not exceed PD2 (second-degree environment), which means that there can be pollution as
long as it is not electrically conductive. XTS
XTS range appliances have a high grade of protection (IP54). They can therefore be installed
outdoors, with exposure to dust and water splashes. It is recommended to avoid locations particularly
exposed to salt-water splashes which are extremely aggressive (for instance under a vehicle chassis)
or to solvent (motor oil) that can attack all non-metallic parts of the enclosure. Also avoid installing
the XTS in direct sunlight or near a heat source (i.e. engine compartment). The presence of a heat
source may reduce significantly the nominal power of the unit.
Reduce as much as possible exposure to sudden temperature changes as a variation in temperature
may cause undesired condensation inside the enclosure.
The 4 mounting screws of the enclosure must be completely tightened with a torque of
5Nm in order to guarantee the IP 54 protection index. Any unused cable glands should
be closed in a way that guarantees at least the same level of protection.
3.5 F
ASTENING
The Xtender is a heavy unit and must be mounted to a non-flammable support (wall)
designed to bear such a load
The Xtender must be installed vertically onto heavy-duty material (concrete or metallic wall) and
positioned vertically with cable glands oriented down. A sufficient space around it must be provided
to guarantee adequate ventilation of the device (see figs. 2a).
