3.2.2 Battery cable
Disconnect batteries before any wiring and junction of the connector.
Please check the compatibility of voltage, current and setting according to the battery type before switching ON the
charger.
Checking of the charge voltage
Before connecting the batteries to the charger, first check their polarity.
Equally check the battery voltage with a calibrated voltmeter. A too low voltage value on some types of batteries
show irreversible damage and impossibility to recharge.
Any damage due to incorrect connections will be excluded from the warranty.
For battery cables up to 3 metres, the cross-section of the battery cables should be at least equal to or greater than
the values provided in the table below:
Model
YPO 12-16, 12-25 and 24-12
YPO 12-40, 24-20 and 24-30
YPO 12-60
The installer should choose the type of cable (H07-VK, MX, etc.) according to the type of application and the applicable
standards.
The DC outputs must use a PHOENIX CONTACT connector type. If you do not have 3 batteries, the terminals non-used
bank will remain unconnected.
