Mounting
The Blue Smart IP65 Charger range is designed to be used as a portable charger, or alternatively can be permanently mounted using the mounting tabs on the base of the charger.
Before mounting, the following aspects should be considered to identify/provide a suitable and safe location:
Install the charger in a location with good natural airflow/ventilation; in case airflow is a restricted, consider adding a cooling fan.
Ensure there is sufficient unobstructed space around the charger; a minimum clearance of 100mm above and below is recommended.
Install the charger on a non-flammable substrate and ensure there are no heat-sensitive items in the immediate vicinity; it is normal for the charger to become hot during operation.
Install the charger in a location where it is protected from environmental conditions such as water, high moisture and dust, and also located well away from any flammable liquids or gasses.
Do not install or place/operate the charger on top of the battery, directly above the battery, or in a sealed compartment with the battery; batteries can emit explosive gasses.
Do not cover or place any other items on top of the charger.
For permanent installations, mount the Blue Smart IP65 Charger vertically with the AC supply cable facing down; secure using suitable screws though the mounting holes.
Select and use screws with a pan/flange head (do not use screws with a countersunk/tapered head), and a screw thread outer diameter well matched to the mounting hole/slot internal diameter (~3mm max OD to provide a clearance fit).
To aid installation, it is recommended to hang the unit using the 2 upper screws (leave the screw heads ~3mm from the surface) and then install the 2 lower screws, before fully securing all 4 screws.
Take care to not over-tighten the mounting screws (as the mounting flanges are plastic).
