ECS Device Installation Installing the ECS-50WBU
3. Connect the red wire from the battery harness to the positive (+) side of battery #1.
4.7.12 Calculating Current Draw and Standby Battery
This section helps determine the current draw and standby battery needs for your installation (18 AH maximum will fit in cabinet). Complete
the remaining instructions in Table 4.6.
Batteries larger than 18 AH will not fit in the main control cabinet, and must be housed in the RBB Accessory Battery Cabinet. The system
supports a maximum of 35 AH.
4.8 Installing the ECS-50WBU
The ECS-50WBU provides backup capability when operating the ECS-DUAL50W in the 100 watt with backup mode for both single and
dual channel setups. The ECS-50WBU mounts on the ECS-DUAL50W board on the standoffs provided.
