Blue Smart IP22 Charger

Wiring

  1. Connect suitable DC power cabling to the Blue Smart IP22 Chargers BATTERY terminals.

    1. Remove the terminal cover by gently applying outward pressure on the cover upper face.

    2. Prepare flexible multi stranded copper DC power cable with sufficient cross sectional area; refer to the 'Installation > Wiring > DC power cable' section for more information.

    3. Connect the positive DC cable (red insulation) to the positive (+) terminal and the negative DC cable (black insulation) to the negative (-) terminal connection; ensure that the cable connection polarity is correct.

    4. Torque the terminal screws to 2.4Nm using a suitable torque wrench and screw driver bit, then reinstall the terminal cover.

  2. Install a suitably rated inline fuse or circuit breaker within the DC power cabling between the Blue Smart IP22 Charger and battery/batteries, located as close as practical to the battery/batteries; refer to the 'Installation > Wiring > Overcurrent protection' section for more information.

  3. Connect the DC power cabling to the battery/batteries or DC system distribution bus - follow the instructions relevant to the installation type.

    1. For hardwired installations, or when charging a battery outside of a vehicle/installation:

      1. Ensure that the DC system is shut down (all DC loads and charge sources off/isolated) prior to disconnection of any existing battery / DC system distribution bus cabling and connection of the charger to the battery terminals / DC system distribution bus.

      2. Connect the positive DC cable (red insulation) to the positive (+) terminal and the negative DC cable (black insulation) to the negative (-) terminal connection; ensure that the cable connection polarity is correct.

      3. Torque all wiring termination hardware to manufacturers torque specifications using a suitable torque wrench and socket / screw driver bit.

    2. For temporary installations when charging a battery installed within a vehicle, and the negative (-) battery terminal is grounded to the vehicle chassis (conventional):

      1. Connect the positive DC cable / battery clamp (red insulation) directly to the battery positive (+) terminal first.

      2. Then connect the negative DC cable / battery clamp (black insulation) to a suitable grounding point on the vehicle chassis (not directly to the negative battery terminal).

      3. When disconnecting the charger, disconnect the DC cables / battery clamps in reverse of the connection order.

    3. For temporary installations when charging a battery installed within a vehicle, and the positive (+) battery terminal is grounded to the vehicle chassis (unconventional):

      1. Connect the negative DC cable / battery clamp (black insulation) directly to the battery negative (-) terminal first.

      2. Then connect the positive DC cable / battery clamp (red insulation) to a suitable grounding point on the vehicle chassis (not directly to the positive battery terminal).

      3. When disconnecting the charger, disconnect the DC cables / battery clamps in reverse of the connection order.

  4. Connect the Blue Smart IP22 Charger AC power cable to a mains power outlet; after a short delay the LEDs indicating the current charge mode and charge state will illuminate.
