INSTALLATION
WARNING: Qualified personnel only
Location
The Phoenix Charger must be installed in a dry,
well-ventilated area.
Too high an ambient temperature has the
consequence of lower output, shorter life or a
complete shutdown of the Phoenix Charger.
The Phoenix Charger is suitable for floor and wall
mounting. However, for optimum cooling, a
vertical position is recommended. The cables
between the Phoenix Charger and the battery
must be kept as short as possible to minimise
cable losses.
