Mounting location
Warning!
For safety purposes, the product should be installed in a heat-resistant
environment. Avoid the presence of e.g. chemicals, synthetic components,
curtains or other textiles in the immediate vicinity of the product.
- Install the galvanic isolator in a well ventilated area.
- Keep a clear space of 10 cm around the product for ventilation.
- The galvanic isolator must be mounted with its length vertical to allow for maximum cooling. Under normal circumstances, the
temperature increase of the heat sink is not more than 20°C. However, the unit may become hot when conducting fault ground current.
Installation
Warning!
The galvanic isolator must be wired into the green (safety) grounding
conducting connection ahead of all grounding connections to the vessel such
that no ground connections on the vessel bypass the galvanic isolator making
it ineffective.
- Connections and safety features must be according to the locally applicable regulations.
- Use electric cables of the appropriate size.
- Wire the galvanic Isolator into the green (safety) grounding conducting connection as shown in fig. 1.
