Kinetik KIPS12-80 Automobile Battery Charger User Manual


 
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Horizontal mounting of the Kinetik Intelligent Power Converter is recommended
although it can be mounted in any position that provides unobstructed ventilation
to the fan and vent holes. Secure the converter rmly to the mounting surface
using standard fasteners.
The installer should test the converter under full load conditions in its intended
mounting location. This will insure that there is sufcient unobstructed ventila-
tion to the converter allowing it to operate at its maximum rated load. Failure to
provide adequate ventilation to the converter will cause the converter to cycle on
and off as it responds to the ambient conditions.
NOTICE: Kinetik Intelligent Power Converters are not designed for zero clear-
ance compartments. Unobstructed ventilation is required.
ATTENTION
1. USE A 5/32” HEX DRIVER TO TIGHTEN THE OUTPUT SCREWS. DO NOT
EXCEED 50 IN-LB TORQUE.
2. THE OUTPUT TERMINALS ARE RATED FOR 2 TO 14 GA. COPPER OR
ALUMINUM WIRE.
3. THE KINETIK INTELLIGENT POWER CONVERTERS ARE NOT WEATHER
TIGHT OR DESIGNED FOR WET LOCATION MOUNTING. THEY MUST BE
PROTECTED FROM DIRECT CONTACT WITH WATER.
4. DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS AVOID THE INTRODUCTION OF
FOREIGN MATERIALS INTO THE CASE AS THIS COULD CAUSE A MAL-
FUNCTION OF THE CONVERTER.
CAUTION
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FLUID LEVEL OF ANY CONNECTED BATTERY
BE CHECKED ON A REGULAR BASIS. ALL BATTERIES WILL “GAS” AND
LOSE SOME FLUIDS WHEN
CONTINUOUSLY CONNECTED TO
ANY CHARGING SOURCE.
