Truecharge2 Battery Charger in a location that meets the following requirements NOTESWhen planning to install the Truecharge2 Battery Charger be sure that you consider the location and orientation carefully The Truecharge2 Battery Charger is considered to have an IP rating of IP32 if installed in either of two specific orientations shown in Figure 5 The Truecharge2 Battery Charger must be installed in a dry location not subject to moisture especially rain spray or splashing bilge waterClean The Truecharge2 Battery Charger should not be exposed to metal filings or any other form of ambient air temperature should be between 0 50 C 32 122 FVentilated There must be at least 10cm 4in of clearance on the top and bottom ends of the Truecharge2 Battery Charger for air flow and at least 6cm 25inof clearance on either side see Figure 7entilation openings on the charger must not be obstructed If the charger is mounted in a tight fitting compartment the compartment must be ventilated with cutouts to prevent the charger from overheating SafeThis battery charger except IEC models is equipment so it containing gasoline tanks or fittings which require equipment that it is safest not to install any kind of electrical equipment including the Truecharge2 Battery Charger in these areasClose to batteriesThe Truecharge2 Battery Charger should be installed as close as possible to the batteries but not in the same compartment to prevent corrosion Avoid excessive cable lengths and use the recommended wire sizes Xantrex recommends installing with cables sized to achieve less than 3 voltage drop on battery cables under full load This will maximize the performance of the to NonIEC models only See Product Numbers on page ibSee Product Numbers on page iEXPLOSION HAZARD FOR IEC

other moist environments without the installation of additional drip protection They are only acceptable for use in locations that are always dryThe environment therefore will determine the mounting orientations that are suitable for each installation Is the installation environment one that will always be dry or will moisture or condensation sometimes enter the area ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARDIn marine environments there is a likelihood that condensation will be present and may drip on to the charger Use the appropriate mounting orientations as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6Failure to follow

current available from the connected battery bank Do not substitute devices rated only for AC voltage they may not operate properly The current rating of the DC fuses must be correctly matched to the size of the DC wiring used in accordance with the applicable codes This helps to protect the installation against fire in case of any overcurrent or short circuit DC Chassis GroundThe DC chassis ground earthshould also be sized correctly to provide proper protection Refer to the local electrical codes for your specific installation to determine the correct gauge The ABYC standards require this DC chassis ground wire to be the same size as the largest DC and conductors connected to the charger or no more than one wire size smaller See Step 2 Connecting the DC Chassis Ground Earthpage 17 for instructionsAC WiringThe AC wiring must be of sufficient size and it must be protected by the appropriate size and type of input breaker based on the jurisdiction and application Some basic examples are given belowThe AC input wiring for the Truecharge2 Battery Charger should be threeral and ground conductor or L N GND in an outer jacket rated a minimum of 75C and sized based on the AC input current to the charger see AC Input Specifications on page 54 and on the value of overcurrent protection providedFor examplein US NEC you may use a 14AWG wire with a 15A breaker for up to 12A continuous current or 12AWG for a 20A breaker for up to 16A continuous currentorfor 230Vac application you may be able to use either a 25mm wire with a 16A breaker or use 15mm wire with a 10A breaker

these instructions will result in death or serious injuryTC2 204060 Series BattChg Owners Guidebook Page 14 Friday July 8 2011 1144 For that every jurisdiction will have different requirements as will each application so research the regulations for your local jurisdiction to determine which wire size and type is correct based on the maximum AC input current marked on the chargers and given in AC Input Specifications on page 54 Other examples of AC wiring marine applications the American Boat Yacht Council ABYCrequires stranded wire which is more robust than solid wire when exposed to vibrationFor RV applications the United States National Electrical Code NECallows solid wire in multiconductor cable however stranded wire is also acceptable which will withstand vibration better The AC wiring supplying the Truecharge2 Battery Charger must be protected by the correct size and type of branchcircuit rated fuse or breaker to meet the applicable installation codes If a fuse is used instead of a breaker a correctly rated disconnect switch is required ahead of the fuse so that power can be turned off allowing fuse replacement and safe maintenance of other equipment on the mains circuitBattery Bank Size Truecharge2 Battery Charger is designed to work with a minimum battery bank size Each bank should meet the minimum Ah rating shown in Table 4 These minimum values are based on twice the chargers rated maximum charging current For example a 20amp charger will charge a minimum 40Ah battery If you are considering new batteries please consult the batterys manufacturer for their

the DC wiring applies to a single battery as well as multiple batteries or battery banks 1Remove the DC compartment cover See Front Panel on page 32Plan the route that the DC wires will follow keeping it as short as possible Measure and cut the required wire length after allowing some extra length for connections and to provide slack in the wires for 3Identify the positive wires by using colorcoded wire or by marking both ends of the wire with colored tape or similar kind of marking Repeat with a different color for the negative Most installation codes recommend coloring the positive red and the negative black4Install a DC circuit breaker or fused disconnect in each positive cable that is as close to the battery positive terminal as possible Consult your local electrical codes regarding the

Refer to AC Input Specifications on page 54 for AC input current draw to determine the size of generator you need Many generators provide output voltage that is modified sine wave or modified square wave MSWather than the true sine wave TSWyour utility providesIf a generator needs to run on full load capacity to supply charging current to the battery via the battery charger its output frequency and amplitude may become unstable This scenario can cause the battery charger to shutdown Using the current limiti from the remote panel can help avoid this scenario The Truecharge2 Battery Charger
