4. INSTALLING THE CHARGER
WARNING: KISAE Technology recommends that all wiring be done by a certified
technician or electrician to ensure adherence to the applicable electrical safety wiring
regulations and installation codes. Failure to follow these instructions can damage the
unit and could also result in personal injury or loss of life.
CAUTION: Before beginning your unit Installation, please consider the following:
• The unit should be used or stored in an indoor area away from direct sunlight, heat,
moisture or conductive contaminants.
• When placing the unit, allow a minimum of three inches of space around the unit for
optimal ventilation.
Note: The KISAE Abso Charger is designed to be permanently mounted.
Mounting the Charger:
• Choose an appropriate mounting location.
• For installing in an indoor location, the unit can be mounted in any direction.
• For installing in boat or marine environment, the unit can be mounted horizontally and
vertically (AC and DC panel facing downwards) only.
• Use the mounting template below to mark the positions of the mounting screws.
• Drill the 4 mounting holes and place the Charger in position and fasten the unit to the
mounting surface. See mounting location as below.
Chassis Grounding Connection:
DANGER: The unit chassis has to be grounded properly. Never operate the Charger
without proper grounding. Failure to do so will result in death or serious injury.
Ground connection to the charger must comply with all local and application-specific
codes and ordinances.
• Connect the unit’s chassis ground to the common ground point through the ground stud
located near one of the unit mounting slots. See image in Section 3.
DC Output Wiring:
WARNING: The DC wiring used must be of appropriate size. An individual over-current
protection device usually within 7 inches (17.8cm) of each battery bank is required. A DC
disconnect switch is also recommended. Both devices must be rated for DC voltage and
current and be rated to withstand the short circuit current available from the connected
battery bank. Both devices must match with the size of the DC wiring.
