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.
