MOUNTING
Mount the unit in a DRY and WELL VENTILATED location, allowing at
least 1 inch of clearance around all sides for adequate cooling.
Installation
INPUT CONNECTION
Prior to connection, an external switch and fuse both rated for
maximum input amps (100 A) should be installed at the power source.
This unit’s rear panel is equipped with an Marathon ST722B2502UH
Power Stud Block connector with 1/4” - 20 Studs as a DC input
connection.
This voltage converter can draw up to 100 amps from a 12 volt power
source. Adequate wire size is crucial for proper operation. Connect
the DC power source to the Input Connection using at least AWG6
(preferably AWG4) wires terminated in soldered or crimped 2 hole lugs.
These connectors are intended for ‘Dual Hole Lugs’ to be able to handle
their maximum rated current of 175 amps. The holes in the lugs are
on 5/8th inch centers. Suitable lugs are available from many sources
including Panduit, Thomas and Betts and others.
OUTPUT CONNECTION
This unit’s front panel is equipped with a Marathon ST722B2502UH Power
Stud Block connector with 1/4” - 20 Studs as a DC output connection.
Connect the DC load to the Output Connection using at least AWG10 (preferably AWG8) wires with soldered or
crimped 2 hole lugs.
These connectors are intended for ‘Dual Hole Lugs’ to be able to handle their maximum rated current of 175 amps.
The holes in the lugs are on 5/8th inch centers. Suitable lugs are available from many sources including Panduit,
Thomas and Betts and others.
