OEM Installation of the PM3 Series Power Center
Select a mounting location near the shore power and battery
(batteries).
- Do not mount in an area where the owner may store items, as
this
could reduce the clearance requirements, obstruct ventilation
openings and affect the efficient operation of the converter.
- Do not install close to appliances that are a source of heat or
water

designed for mounting in wet locations. It must be protected
from direct contact with water.

sparks.
To prevent fire or explosion,
DO NOT INSTALL IN COMPARTMENT CONTAINING
BATTERIES OR FLAMMABLE MATERIALS (LP gas).
FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST RISK OF FIRE,
REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME TYPE AND RATING FUSE.
The fuse rating which the manufacturer suggests for the output
fuses
will be marked on the unit. Replace only with same type and rat-
ing.
During the manufacturing process, be sure that all converter
openings are protected from debris falling into the unit. This is a
non-warranty item.
NOTE: If the reverse battery protection fuses are blown during
installation, be sure that the battery has been connected properly,

replace the fuses with ATC “Littelfuse ” Type 257 with the same
rating as the original.
