Installation
Mounting
1. Mark the locations of the battery mounting brackets. The brackets
must be placed on wall studs with 16" spacing, or on plywood or similar
mounting material to give appropriate support. The lag screws for the
brackets should be placed at 44.6" (113.3 cm) above the floor surface.

3. Install the bonding wire in battery and inverter. On the inverter’s negative bus
bar, the bonding wire ring terminal must go over the top of the negative conductor.
4. Install the nut on the negative bus bar. Tighten to the torque value shown.
5. Install battery positive (+) conductor in battery and inverter. Tighten to the
torque value shown.
6. Install BMS cable in battery and inverter. In the
inverter, the BMS port is located at the top of the
compartment (shown at
7
).
NOTE
: Do not install the cable in a different port.

RACEWAY
IMPORTANT
Do not install the battery brackets at this time. Mark the locations
of the lag screws and drill pilot holes if necessary.
IMPORTANT
When installed, the inverter is required to hang 6" (15.2 cm) above the
top of the battery in order to use the included raceway. The mounting
bracket is placed according to this spacing. If a different spacing or
configuration is used, new raceway will need to be provided.
IMPORTANT
If any AC conduit is to be located in the 6" space between the
inverter and the battery, install it at this time.
2. Mark the location of the inverter’s wall bracket. The left-hand holes
for the wall bracket should be located 78.2" (198.5 cm) above the floor
surface. Drill pilot holes if necessary.
3. Install the inverter’s wall bracket as described in the
Mojave
Inverter/Charger Quick Start Guide
.
4. Complete the mounting of the inverter (not depicted here)
according to the instructions in the
Quick Start Guide
. Install
securing screws in the wiring compartment.
5. Place the battery against the wall. Install the brackets as described
in the
Mojave ESS Operator’s Manual
6. Install the wiring raceway as shown below. Two screws are
provided to attach it to the surface. Install into plywood or a reinforced
mounting surface if available. If a reinforced surface is not available,
anchors are provided in the kit for mounting into wall board.
NOTE:
Install AC and other wiring in an
order appropriate to the
installation. See the
Quick Start
Guide
for more information.
1. Install ground conductor in battery and inverter. Tighten to the torque
value shown.
2. Install battery negative (–) conductor. Read the following before tightening.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
The negative conductor must be
mechanically bonded to the ground bar.
This is normally performed within the
Mojave inverter (between points
1
and
4
).
A bonding wire is supplied for this purpose.
IMPORTANT
Install all DC wiring within the
raceway. AC wires may not be
installed within the raceway.
