Step 1 - Connect battery cables 
 
Always check that the battery cables have been terminated to the correct system polarity 
BEFORE connecting the batteries or enabling the battery e-Fuse based protection.  
•  Connecting batteries to the system with incorrect system polarity will void all warranty 
claims. 
 
 
 
1  Select battery cable to suit the maximum battery current and voltage drop 
requirements.  
2  Route the battery cables to the EFX48 unit within the RM3-340/440 system. 
 
Take care when routing the cables to prevent the display and controls of 
the EFX48 being obscured, as well as avoiding blocking the rectifier fan 
vents. It may help to tie the cables onto features of the system rack, and tie 
the cables together. 
3  Strip the insulation and fit the common cables into battery connection terminal 
marked “+”. 
4  Strip the insulation and fit the live cables into the negative battery connection 
terminals marked “B1” or “B2” (as appropriate for the battery being 
terminated). 
5 
Ensure for each battery connection that matched ”+” and “–“ (B1 or B2) 
terminals are used and cables are not crossed over different battery connections
.
