Place the wall mounting bracket horizontally onto the wall and mark the position of the bracket holes. Ensure the wall is suitable to hold the weight of the battery. 3. Mount the battery onto the mounting bracket. 250mm 250mm 250mm 2. Drill 4 holes at the marked positions ensuring they are the sufficient depth for the fixings. Fix the mounting bracket to the wall using 4 expansion bolts. 4. Place the battery against the wall and ensure it is above the wall mounted bracket. Slide the battery down and hang it on the bracket. Lock the safety screws on both sides of the battery. V.1.0 | 2024 STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION For Generation 1 Inverters only 4A. Connect battery output to the inverter using a lug to plug cable. If not connecting to additional battery packs, apply the blanking plug to the unused socket. For Generation 3 Inverters only 4C. If connecting to Generation 3 inverter, use a plug to plug cable from battery output of the Generation 3 battery to the connectors within the Generation 3 inverter. For Generation 2 Inverters only 4B. Connect battery output to the inverter using a lug to plug cable. If not connecting to additional battery packs, apply the blanking plug to the unused socket. For installing additional batteries 4D. If connecting a G1/2 battery to an existing G3 battery. Connect the Plug to Lug cable from the G3 battery connector to the G1/2 battery terminals. Ensuring BMS communications cable has correct polarity. Ensure the G3 battery DIPs are set for Master and the G1/2 battery are set for Slave. A DC Isolator will be required to protect the slave battery(s). All batteries must be on compatible firmwares. V.1.0 | 2024 STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION 4E. If connecting a Generation 2/3 battery to a Generation 2/3 battery use a plug to plug cable and connect from battery socket in your master battery into your slave Generation 2 battery, and set your dip switches as per step 5 (below). Ensure all unused sockets are covered with a blanking plug. 5. Set up the dipswitches on the circuit breaker, as shown overleaf. SWITCH 4 - Master / Slave Dip Switch SWITCH 3 - Address Dip Switch SWITCH 2 - Address Dip Switch SWITCH 1 - Address Dip Switch 6.
