1. Safety instructions

Blue Smart IP65 Charger 1. 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. Battery installation and charging 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. For hardwired installations install a suitably rated inline fuse or circuit breaker located as close as practical to the battery; refer to the 'Installation > Wiring > Overcurrent protection' 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. 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 default charge preset (Normal mode) combined with adaptive charge logic is well suited for most common battery types; such as flooded lead-acid, AGM and Gel. Selection of Li-ion charge mode and advanced configuration with user defined settings is possible using a Bluetooth enabled device (mobile phone or tablet) with the VictronConnect app. Page 1 Safety instructions WARNING: CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Safety instructions

Blue Smart IP65 Charger This product features a pressure equalization vent to maintain the IP65 rating under various environmental conditions. The vent is NOT a reset button. Do not insert sharp or conductive objects, as this may cause damage and compromise the enclosure's protection. Page 2 Safety instructions

2. Quick start guide

Blue Smart IP65 Charger 2. Quick start guide 1. Connect the DC cables to the battery or batteries; ensure that there is a good electrical connection and keep the terminals away from any surrounding objects that could cause a short circuit. 2. Connect the AC power cable to a mains power outlet; the '12V' (green) and '6V' (yellow) LEDs will briefly illuminate when the blue smart charger is powered up. The battery voltage is automatically detected and set prior to the test stage (based on the voltage of the battery connected); when the '12V' (green) or '6V' (yellow) LED is blinking fast, the battery voltage has been automatically set and the charger is in test or bulk stage.

Note that for severely depleted batteries, automatic battery voltage detection may be incorrect; in this case the battery voltage must be manually set using the VictronConnect app and a Bluetooth enabled device (such as a mobile phone or tablet). If the '12V' (green) and '6V' (yellow) LEDs are blinking slow the charger is in standby mode and cannot detect presence of a battery; in this case the AC mains power source should be disconnected before checking the DC wiring/connections and rectifying the issue.

If the 'reverse polarity' (red) LED is illuminated a reverse polarity DC connection has been detected; in this case the AC mains power source should be disconnected before checking the DC wiring/connections and rectifying the polarity. Page 3 Quick start guide
