1. Safety instructions

Smart IP43 Charger 1. Safety instructions WARNING: CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Carefully read the manual before the charger is installed and operated; retain the manual in a safe place for future reference. The charger must not be installed or operated by anyone who lacks the appropriate knowledge or competence required for safe installation and/or usage. Charger installation and operation A. Install the charger in a location with good natural airflow/ventilation and sufficient unobstructed space around it; refer to the the 'Installation > Mounting' section for more information. B.

Install the charger on a non-flammable substrate and ensure there are no heat-sensitive items in the immediate vicinity; it is normal for the charger to become hot during operation. C. Install the charger in a location where it is protected from environmental conditions such as water, moisture, dust and direct sunlight. D. Do not install or operate the charger directly above the battery, or in a sealed compartment with the battery; batteries can emit explosive gasses. E. Do not cover or place any other items on top of the charger. F.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Battery installation and charging G. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. A. Install and charge the battery in a location with good natural airflow/ventilation. B. Ensure that there are no ignition sources near the battery; batteries can emit explosive gasses. C.

Battery acid is corrosive; if battery acid comes into contact with skin immediately rinse with water. D. Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries or Li-ion batteries if the battery temperature is below 0°C. DC connection to battery A. Use flexible multi stranded copper DC power cable with sufficient cross sectional area, and install a suitably rated inline fuse or circuit breaker located as close as practical to the battery; refer to the 'Installation > Wiring' section for more information. B. Ensure that the DC power cable polarity is correct at all connections. C.

Ensure that the DC system is fully shut down/isolated prior to disconnection of any existing cabling and/or new connections are made to the battery/DC system. D. There are specific wiring connection instructions for charging a battery installed within a vehicle; refer to the 'Installation > Wiring' section for more information. AC connection to mains supply A. AC connection to the mains supply must be in accordance with local electrical regulations. The charger must be plugged into an earthed AC mains power outlet. B. Do not operate the charger if the AC power cable is damaged, contact a service agent. Charger setup A.

Refer to the battery manufacturers instructions and specifications to ensure the battery is suitable for use with this charger and confirm the recommended charge settings. B. The integrated charge modes (selected via the charger or Bluetooth) combined with adaptive charge logic are well suited for most common battery types; such as flooded lead-acid, AGM, Gel and LiFePO4. If necessary, advanced configuration with user defined settings is also possible using a Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet) with the VictronConnect app. Page 1 Safety instructions

2. Quick start guide

Smart IP43 Charger 2. Quick start guide 1. The Smart IP43 Charger range is designed to be permanently mounted using the mounting flanges integrated into the heat sink. Identify/provide a suitable and safe location for the charger on a non-flammable substrate, with at least 10cm of clearance surrounding the charger and good natural airflow/ventilation; do not install or place/operate the charger on top of the battery, directly above the battery, or in a sealed compartment with the battery. Mount the Smart IP43 Charger vertically with the terminals facing down; secure using suitable pan/flange head screws though the mounting holes/slots. 2.

Connect suitable DC power cabling between the Smart IP43 Chargers BATTERY terminals (torque the terminal screws to 2.4Nm) and the battery or DC system distribution bus; all LEDs will illuminate briefly when DC power is connected. There are specific wiring connection instructions for charging a battery installed within a vehicle; refer to the 'Installation > Wiring' section for more information. 3. Connect the Smart IP43 Charger AC power cable to a mains power outlet; after a short delay all LEDs will illuminate briefly, then the LEDs indicating the current charge mode and charge state will illuminate.
