A potentially dangerous condition
Explosive hazard exists
Corrosive hazard exists
Do not exceed the specified torque of 120 in-lbs. when connecting cables to the terminal posts
(+24, GND, +12) during installation of all the PMEC Models. Torque values higher than specified may
damage the product, reduce performance, and/or create hazardous conditions. Products damaged by
improper torque are not covered by the warranty.
Do not connect more than one conductor per terminal post on the Vanner PMEC. Multiple
wires and cables may overstress internal components, resulting in poor performance or creating
hazardous conditions. Products damaged by the installation of multiple conductors per post are not
covered by the warranty.
Fault protection devices must be installed between the PMEC and the power
source (battery). A fault protection device would be any fuse or circuit breaker properly rated for the
maximum DC current obtainable. This advisory is in accordance with SAE, NEC and UL, for mobile power
applications. Install per applicable codes or within 18” of the battery. See Wire and Fuse Sizing Chart on
page 15 of this manual or contact Vanner at 1-800-227-6937 or pwrsales@vanner.com if assistance is
needed in sizing fault protection devices.
Caution: This equipment tends to produce arcs and sparks during
installation. To prevent fire or explosion, compartments containing batteries or flammable materials must
be properly ventilated. Safety goggles should always be worn when working near batteries
Mounting Location –The PMEC may be mounted in any orientation, on a flat mounting surface
suitable to support the PMEC during application. Do not mount in zero-clearance compartment that may
result in the PMEC overheating. Locate so that contact by people is unlikely.
