Installation
Remove the equipment pack (accessories) and check it is
complete:
1 instructions for installation and use
1 Mains cable, 1 m with bare end
3 Strip fuses, 60 A
3 Fuse holder for strip fuses
6 Cable lug M6 16 mm² (connection terminals)
6 Cable lug M5 16 mm² (strip fuse holder)
4 mounting screws
4 washers
The device should be installed away from damp and wet. The
installation site should be clean, dry and well ventilated. Dur-
ing operation, the casing can heat up to around 75 °C. There-
fore observe a minimum clearance of 100 mm and ensure that
the ventilation slits are not covered.
The designated room in which the device is to be installed
may not undercut the following dimensions as a minimum
clearance of 100 mm all-round must be observed.
Length: 600 mm / Width: 490 mm / Height: 210 mm
The installation space for the device must have ventilation
openings at the top and side that provide a total opening
surface of 100 cm².
Liquid electrolyte batteries need to be placed in a separate
box with ventilation directed to the outside. The gel and AGM
batteries do not need a separate box. Observe the installation
regulations of the battery manufacturer.
The device may be installed in a lying position (horizontal) or
hanging position (vertical) but may not be installed upside down.
Securely attach the device using the 4 supplied mounting
screws.
Ensure that the ventilation slits remain free! There
should be a minimum clearance of 100 mm all round!
Inadequate ventilation can cause the device to overheat!
Connection
Before connecting or disconnecting the cables, the
supply lines to the battery and mains supply must be

Battery connection
Connect the charger to the battery as shown in the diagram
(fig. 3). Check that the correct cable cross-sections are used
and that the terminals are connected correctly!
Connect the negative charger cable (blue, 16 mm²) for
battery I (MASTER) to the negative output terminal of the
charger and the negative terminal of battery I.
Connect the positive charger cable (red, 16 mm²) for
battery I (MASTER) to the positive output terminal of the
charger and the positive terminal of battery I.
Repeat the process to connect batteries II and III!
Charging control panel
If you use a charging control panel, connect this to the panel
connection BC (7-pin) on the device.
Temperature sensor
If you use a temperature sensor for the battery I, adhere the
temperature sensor to the face side of the battery I (starter
battery). To do this, remove the protective film from the self-ad-
hesive point of the temperature sensor and press it firmly onto
the desired position of the battery I (see Temperature sensor de-
scription). Connect the cable from the temperature sensor to the
temperature sensor connection of the device (2-pin connection).
Battery type changeover switch
Set the battery type (liquid electrolyte or Gel / AGM) of your
battery on the battery switchover.
Main supply connection
Connect the main power cable of your boat, camper or cara-
van. Green/yellow cable to the protective earth!
Check all connections are tight.
Finally, connect to the mains using the 230 V cold device
plug of the power cable.
