EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION
On the basis of the type of model, use the batteries and the cables as specified in the following
table:
MODEL
Input battery voltage
Recommended battery capacity
Minimum cables size
The required cable size is to be calculated according to the length of the conductors in order to
avoid excessive voltage drops.
INSTALLATION SITE
Install the voltage reducer in a dry and ventilated place and as near to the batteries as possible.
The voltage reducer, although having high efficiency, develops a certain amount of heat during
functioning, therefore, it is imperative that the installation area has sufficient ventilation, enough to
allow use of the equipment at maximum power.
The voltage reducer can be installed in a horizontal or vertical position with cables coming out in
the downward position.
The vertical position is recommended because the natural convection of heat helps to cool the
equipment.
The perimeter of the voltage reducer (except the base) must be kept at a distance from walls or
objects by a minimum of 5 cm.
The base where is fixed the voltage reducer must support a maximum temperature of 80°C (with
ambient temperature of 40°C).
WARNING: the outer surface of the voltage reducer is used as a heat sink, therefore it
may reach very high temperatures (risk of burns). Leave the equipment to cool down before
handling it.
