Installation
Location
The recommended installation is where the charger(s) can be located
at ground level or on a raised platform, protected against accidental
contact with the lift truck or its forks. Installation above ground level is
recommended to reduce the level of dust ingested by the charger.
AC Input
The FS5 and FS9 chargers require 480V, 3 phase AC supply. Care must be
taken to install your charger with the appropriate rated AC supply cable.
FS5: 6 AWG Copper Conductors
FS9: 6 AWG Copper Conductors, rated 167°F / 75°C minimum
Refer to the rating label on your charger for AC supply requirements
specific to your configuration.
