DIRECTIONS FOR USE

3.1

Installation

Find a dry and well-ventilated area to mount the Titan charger and battery. Keep the distance
between the charger and the battery less than 6 meters.
The charger may be wall or floor mounted. Mounting on a wall improves the air circulation
within the charger cabinet and will prolong the lifetime of the battery charger.
The holes for the mains cable, the battery connections, the remote connections and the earth
connection are located at the bottom of the battery charger housing, see illustration 2.

Connecting earth
Connect the earth screw to a real earth-point. Connections to earth have to be according to
applicable safety standards.
On a ship: Connect the earth screw to the earth plate or to the hull of the ship.
On land: Connect the earth screw to the earth of the mains.
Mobile applications (a vehicle, a car or a caravan): Connect the earth screw to the frame
of the vehicle.

Connecting the battery

The connections between the Titan charger and the battery are essential for a good operation
of the charger. Therefore the battery connections need tightening well. It is important to use
short and thick battery cables to minimise the voltage losses in the cable. Cable resistance
decreases accordingly as the cables become shorter and thicker. Therefore it is not
recommended to use cables longer than 6 meters. The table below shows the recommended
cable core thickness.
