Install the terminal plate to the terminal connectors using the torque values of 70-75 inch-
lbs (8.0-8.5 Nm).
5.
Connect the positive lead from the charge controller to the positive terminal plate of the
battery and the negative lead from the charge controller to the negative terminal plate of
the battery.
6.
Connectors to battery terminal plates should be flexible since rigid terminal connectors
may transmit vibrations or strain to cell posts that could result in loose connections.
Support cables so that the cell post does not bear the load.
7.
Before activating the system:
a.
Inspect the cell connections of the system to ensure that all cells are connected
correctly, POSITIVE (+) to NEGATIVE (-),
b.
Measure the voltage across the system terminals. Voltage of the battery should
equal approximately 2.10 times the number of cells in the string.
