POWERING YOUR ADVENTURES

Failure to observe these instructions properly may result in personal injury, or loss

of life.

Ensure that there is good ventilation from the battery area.

This appliance is not intended for use by young children or inﬁrm persons without

supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play

with the appliance.

Batteries are electrically alive at all times and must be treated with extreme caution.

They can supply high short circuit currents, even if they appear damaged.

Take care that dropping or touching of metal objects onto the battery cell does not

cause short circuits.

Remove any personal metal adornment such as a chain, watch or ring, which could

cause short circuits and personal injury.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service

agent or similarly qualiﬁed persons in order to avoid a hazard.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read the Safety Precautions carefully before installing the power

supply. Be sure to observe all precautions without fail

After completing installation, conduct a trial operation to check for faults.

WARNING

Failure to observe these instructions properly may result in property damage or

personal injury, which may be serious depending on the circumstances.

Refer to the installation section before operating. Correct installation is the most

critical factor in ensuring the safe use of the power supply. If every consideration of

these instructions has been satisﬁed the power supply will be safe to operate.

Ensure that cable connections to batteries have the correct polarity and are

protected against accidental short circuit.

Ensure that the shrouding supplied with the battery is ﬁtted to the terminals.

Before servicing a battery, disconnect the power supply from the mains supply.

Do not attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries. Charging a nonrechargeable

battery may result in the battery catching ﬁre or possible explosion.

for powering the load and charging the caravan battery. All the necessary

protection and operating features for the load and battery are provided. An

optional DC input is also provided to enable battery charging and powering

of the load from an external +13.8 V DC power source.

The unit is fully enclosed ready for direct wall mounting. All connections are

at the base of unit providing convenient wiring and installation. User access

to all load and battery fusing has been provided at the base of the unit.

INSTALLING THE GENIUS-II POWER SUPPLY

PERSONNEL

Installation is to be carried out only by suitable qualiﬁed personnel.

VENTILATION, ORIENTATION AND THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS

The preferred orientation is with the cooling ﬁns vertical and located such

that there is a minimum of 80 mm free air space above and below them. This

allows for the lowest operating temperature of the internal electronics and

hence the highest reliability of the product.

The ﬁnal enclosure must also provide adequate ventilation to the outside

world (or larger internal cavity) to prevent excessive heating of the air within

the enclosure.

The unit is rated to provide full power in both vertical and horizontal

orientations with enclosure air temperatures up to 50°C.

Note: The enclosure air temperature can easily exceed 50°C if adequate

ventilation is not provided.

The unit has over-temperature protection, meaning it will shut down if its

internal temperature rises above a safe level. The unit will automatically

restart once it has cooled to an acceptable level.

MOUNTING

The Genius-II should be securely mounted to a suitably strong surface, using

the two pre-drilled mounting brackets. Dimensional details are provided in

Figure 1.

MAINS CABLE

This is pre-cabled and ﬁtted with AS/NZ mains plug ready for connection to

an internal 240 V GPO. Ensure that the connection to the mains supply is in

accordance with the national wiring rules, and that the earth connection is

installed.

WARNING

Do not install unit in same compartment where

ﬂammable material such as petrol is stored.
