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.

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.
