Begin System Installation
7.1 Identify and Verify Cells, Markings, Load Steps, Configuration, etc.
1. Identify cell 1.
2. Identify and verify that all cells are marked correctly. Mark if necessary.
3. Verify wire routing, per drawing if provided; i.e. conduit, Panduit etc.
WARNING:
Never route the wires in the same conduit with other wires in the facility. Never run the
wires parallel to the battery bus. Some inverters emit large signal spikes that could cause
induction problems through the connection cables.
4. Identify load step connections.
5. Double check the configuration by referring to the drawings provided with the system.
WARNING:
Check the configuration before installation. If the wrong configuration is installed onto
the battery, the unit could be permanently damaged.
7.2 Prepare All Batteries
7.2.1 Fit Tab Washers
Install tab washers on every positive post and on the last negative post. Every point of
connection to the battery requires its own tab washer. Pay attention to detail and refer to BDS–
1179–A581 when installing the washers. Negative posts that are associated with an intertier, if
intertier resistances are monitored, then the installer will need to install tab washers as well.
NOTE:
Remember, fit tab washers per drawings provided with the system and manual and
place extra tab washers when applicable.
Installer of the Tab Washer should be aware of the tab's orientation to avoid possible
interference with any battery jar's protective covers when the sense lead wire is
attached.
