Connecting the Battery
1. Remove power to the vehicle/device prior to installation of the PROTRXion™ battery.
2. Remove all other batteries from the system prior to replacing them with PROTRXion™
batteries.
3. Remove the protective battery terminal covers from the terminals. Retain these covers in
the event that you need to remove or move the battery at some future time.
4. Attach the negative cable from the device to the negative terminal on the battery.
5. Attach the positive cable from the device to the positive terminal on the battery.
6. Attach M12 communication cables between batteries if more than one battery and from
battery to host system if the host system requires CANbus communication. Connect com-
munication cables to the TE M12 connector on the battery with 0.60 Nm [6.1 kgfcm] or less
torque in order to maintain good connection and avoid damaging the battery. DO NOT
rotate the mating connector or loosen the nut on the battery M12 connectors to avoid dam-
aging the battery.
7. If the battery charger is integrated with the device drawing power from the PROTRXion™
battery, then please follow manufacturers recommended sequence for each battery connection.
8. Please contact Inventus Technical Support if the system requires more than 10 batteries.
Battery Terminal Torque Rating
CAUTION: When using bolts to engage the battery’s threaded holes, use the appropriate
number of flat and lock washers to allow for as much thread engagement as possible with-
out bottoming out the bolt. Over-tightening battery terminal bolts could result in damage to
battery terminals. Under-tightening battery terminals could result in excessive heating of the
terminals.
CAUTION: Do not connect batteries with reversed battery leads i.e. with the
pack positive terminal connected to the source or system negative terminal or
the pack negative terminal connected to the source or system positive terminal.
Failure to follow proper connection sequence can damage the battery
and void the warranty.
