Victron energy MultiPlus-II 48/3000/35-50 120V Manual página 11

4. INSTALLATION
This product may only be installed by a qualified electrical engineer.
4.1 Location
The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to the batteries. There should be a clear space of at
least 10 cm around the appliance for cooling.
Excessively high ambient temperature will result in the following:
• Reduced service life.
Reduced charging current.
•
Reduced peak capacity, or shutdown of the inverter.
•
Never position the appliance directly above the batteries.
The MultiPlus-II is suitable for wall mounting. A solid surface, suitable for the weight and dimensions of the product must be available
(e.g., concrete, or masonry). For mounting purposes, a hook and two holes are provided at the back of the casing (see appendix G).
The device can be fitted either horizontally or vertically. For optimal cooling, vertical fitting is preferred.
The interior of the product must remain accessible after installation.
Try and keep the distance between the product and the battery to a minimum in order to minimize cable voltage losses.
For safety purposes, this product should be installed in a heat-resistant environment. You should prevent the presence
of e.g. chemicals, synthetic components, curtains or other textiles, etc., in the immediate vicinity.
Each system requires a method of disconnecting the AC and DC circuits. If the overcurrent protection device is a circuit
breaker, it will also serve as the disconnect. If fuses are used, separate disconnect switches will be needed between the
source and the fuses.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not connect to an ac load center (circuit breaker panel) having multiwire branch circuits
connected.
CAUTION – To reduce risk of injury, charge only Lead Acid or LiFePO
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the marine unit manufacturer
may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT
IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE SERVICING THE UNIT IN THE VICINITY OF
THEBATTERY, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
• Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a
lead-acid battery.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
• Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 min and get medical attention immediately.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
•
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or
•
other electrical part that may cause explosion.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-
acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, causing a severe burn.
• NEVER charge a frozen battery.
• If necessary to remove battery from vessel, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure all
accessories in the vessels are off, so as not to cause an arc.
• Be sure area around battery is well ventilated. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from
coming in contact with eyes. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not
removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.

MARINE UNIT LOCATION
Locate marine unit away from battery in a separate, well ventilated compartment.
•
Never place marine unit directly above battery; gases from battery will corrode and damage marine unit.
•
Never allow battery acid to drip on marine unit when reading gravity or filling battery.
•
Do not operate marine unit in a closed-in area or restrict ventilation in any way.
