Connecting to the Battery
Tosimplifytheconnectionprocessitisadvisedtoconnectthebatterytotheinverterbeforemounting
thebatteryaccordingtothemanufacturerinstructions.
Followtheseguidelines:
l Foreasyaccesstobatteryconnectors,itisrecommendedtoconnectthecablestothebatteryand
tosetallthebatteryDIPswitchestotheircorrectpositionswhilethebatteryisstillontheground.
Thefollowingprocedureisrecommended:
a. Connectallthewirestothebatteryconnectionpanel
b. Mountthebattery
c. Assembletheconduitbetweenthebatteryandtheinverter
d. ConnecttotheStorEdgeConnectionUnit
l MeasurethenecessarylengthbetweentheStorEdgeConnectionUnitandthebatteryforallcables.
Themaximumdistancebetweenthebatteryandtheinverteris35ft/10m,whenusing16AWGfor
batterythermalpowerand24AWGforbatterycontrol.
l Tieandwrapthecablestoavoidpullingthemoutduringmounting.
l Besuretoadheretoallsafetycautionsandinformationinthebatterydocumentation.
l ThebatteryconnectstotheDCsideoftheinverter.SincetheinverterDCconnectionsareonitsleft
side,itisrecommendedtopositionthebatterytotheleftoftheinvertertosimplifywiring.
NOTE
Per NEC requirements, if the battery is more than 5ft/ 1.5m away from the inverter, an additional
external DC switch ia required adjacent to the battery.
Preparecablesandconnectasdescribedinthefollowingtable(seeFigure19):
