Installation

 

The

 

voltage

 

guard

 

has

 

to

 

be

 

installed

 

on

 

a

 

solid

 

surface

 

and

 

in

 

a

 

dry

 

and

 

well

 

ventilated

 

place.

  

 

Never

 

use

 

the

 

voltage

 

guard

 

where

 

there

 

is

 

any

 

danger

 

of

 

explosive

 

gas.

 

 

Connection

 

and

 

possible

 

additional

 

protections

 

shall

 

be

 

made

 

in

 

compliance

 

with

 

local

 

and

 

concerned

 

application

 

regulations.

 

 

Appropriate

 

terminal

 

shall

 

be

 

used

 

to

 

avoid

 

bad

 

connection.

  

 

Fasten

 

the

 

bolts

 

tightly

 

but

 

not

 

over

 

tighten

 

them.

  

 

Use

 

wiring

 

with

 

the

 

appropriate

 

diameter.

  

 

Make

 

sure

 

the

 

battery

 

is

 

fused

 

with

 

the

 

right

 

value.

 

This

 

fuse

 

can

 

be

 

70A

 

maximum,

 

limited

 

by

 

the

 

voltage

 

guard.

  

 

Connect

 

the

 

voltage

 

guard

 

according

 

the

 

wiring

 

diagram

 

as

 

shown

 

below.

  

 

Standard

 

:

 

Connect

 

the

 

 

terminal

 

to

 

the

 

ground

 

of

 

the

 

installation.

  

Connect

 

the

 

 

terminal

 

to

 

the

 

positive

 

pole

 

of

 

the

 

battery.

  

Connect

 

the

 

  

terminal

 

to

 

the

 

consumers

 

+

 

terminal.

  

 

Optional

 

:

 

Connect

 

the

 

terminal

 

to

 

a

 

switch

 

to

 

ground

 

to

 

use

 

main

 

switch

 

function.

 

Connect

 

the

 

!

    

terminal

 

to

 

an

 

external

 

alarm.

 

This

 

signal

 

switches

 

to

 

ground

 

in

 

case

 

of

 

a

 

low

 

battery

The

 

low

setting

 

can

 

be

 

adjusted

 

by

 

the

 

dip

 

switches

 

according

 

to

 

the

 

table

 

below.

 

The

 

voltage

 

guard

 

is

 

permanently

 

switched

 

on

 

when

 

DIP

 

switches

 

1,

and

 

3

 

are

 

on.

 

In

 

this

 

case

 

the

protection

 

is

 

disabled.

 

The

 

voltage

 

guard

 

works

 

only

 

between

 

8VDC

 

and

 

31VDC.

 

Use

When

 

the

 

power

 

is

 

supplied

 

to

 

the

an

 

internal

 

self

test

 

is

 

done.

 

At

 

this

 

moment

 

the

guard

 

determines

 

the

In

 

this

 

situation

 

the

heard.

 

 

At

 

a

If

 

the
