2. INSTALLATION AND WIRING

2.1. Installation
Find a dry and well-ventilated area to mount the Skylla-IP44 charger and battery. Keep the cable length between the charger and the
battery less than 6 meters.
The charger may be wall or floor mounted. Always make sure that air may flow freely at the back side of the cabinet. This will improve
cooling of the charger and prolong lifetime.
Wall mounting
The unit can best be mounted vertical to a wall. See appendix for exact positions of the mounting holes.
Wiring
The inlets for the mains cable, the battery cables, the remote functions and the connection to attach the earth cable are located at the
bottom of the housing; see markings on the front panel.

Warning: For best protection against water and dust from entering the case, all openings in the grey terminal block should be
closed, either with a suitable cable or, when no connection is used, a dummy piece of cable.
Connecting earth
Connect the earth point to the installation earth. Connections to earth have to be according to applicable safety standards.
- On a ship: connect to the earth plate or to the hull of the ship.
