AC circuit breaker
Any outputs not being used should be linked
across to one that is, this is not a requirement
for these new models but is good practice as it
helps spread loads etc
D/C - Fuse selection, as per the
diagram each positive output from the
charger to the battery must be fused .
Chose a fuse that is about 20% higher
amperage rating than the maximum
rating of the charger, and round it up,
remember this fuse is primarily
protecting the cables and not the
product, eg. a 20 amp charger would
have about a 25 amp fuse, a 60 amp
charger about a 75 amp fuse. A full
range of fuses and fuse holders are
avaiable from Sterling
A/C installation /
spade
connections and a proper crimping tool
attach the a/c cables Live ( line ) Neutral and Earth /
Ground, repeat the procedure for the breaker side of the
install, support the cable every 18 inches/ 0.5 metre. and
protect from sharp edges when passing through bulkheads
and all other openings as per any standards which apply to
the installation
The closer to the batteries you fit the charger the better as not only do you save
expensive cable you also get better performance from the charger.
The cable should be properly rated 105 deg C fire resistant. do not use solid cable or
speaker wire

Ground / bounding / earthing . This is
extremely important and often overlooked
, there are in effect 3 grounds,
1)the earth wire ( a/c input , the ground ) ,
2) the Chassis / bonding ground ( going to
a vehicle body / boats bonding system,
the bolt on the side of the charger )
3)the d/c negative .
In most installations all these will end up
at the same point, ie the a/c power source
should be connect to the boat/vehicle
chassis ( for safety ).The chassis earth will
also go there, and the d/c neg should also
go ther , in effect bonding the total system
together ensuring any fault to the chassis
will blow a fuse. This could vary for
steel/aluminium boats
