Installing Truecharge+
2–14
Grounding
Truecharge+ must be grounded to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The
AC input ground wire must be properly connected to ground in
accordance with all applicable electrical codes. Meeting electrical codes
is achieved by connecting the ground conductor of the AC input cable to a
properly grounded ground terminal in the AC distribution panel where the
15 amp branch circuit originates.
If your installation code allows the use of a flexible AC cord to attach
Truecharge+ to a standard AC socket, the cord and plug must be equipped
with a ground conductor and a ground pin (that is, a three-prong plug) and
the socket must be able to accept the plug without modification.
Installing Optional Accessories
If you have purchased the accessories, you can also install the Battery
Temperature Sensor (BTS) and the Remote Display Panel at this time. For
maximum battery life, Xantrex strongly recommends the use of the BTS.
Battery Temperature Sensor
Purpose
The BTS provides the charger with temperature information which
overrides the temperature settings on the front panel. If your batteries are
located where temperatures are consistently high or consistently low, or
vary frequently, consider the use of a BTS to prolong the life of your
batteries.
Installation
The Battery Temperature Sensor Installation sheet offers suggestions for
the most appropriate battery to monitor and the best placement of the
temperature sensor on the battery.
WARNING Electric shock hazard
Do not make an ungrounded connection. Have an
electrician install a properly grounded circuit if one is not
already installed. Improper connection can result in risk of
an electric shock.
