Installation

2.4 Configurations 

The ME-SBC

TM

 can be configured to accomplish battery combining in a simple, flex-

ible way. There are two methods and they are as follows: 

25 Amp Combiner - This configuration is simple to install and use. The 3-wire con-

nection system is similar to connection methods used by other battery combining 

products. One of the the advantages of this controller is the advanced combining 

options that are available to the installer. It is best to choose this method when 

designing systems where 25 amps or less are required.  For this configuration see 

Figure 2-5. 

Solenoid Drive - If more battery combining capacity (or Ampacity) is required the 

installer can employ any solenoid, so long as the coil of that solenoid consumes less 

than 2 Amps. The source that provides power to the solenoid must not exceed 40 

VDC. This circuit switches DC Negative to the accessory terminal block position #4 

entitled Solenoid (-). For this configuration please see Figure 2-6.
