Physical Installation

Your Lumen unit is fully sealed and does not need to be opened.  Place the unit against a wall 

where convenient to make the electrical connections to your main panel and the critical loads sub 

panel.  The unit should be placed in a location that provides good ventilation with at least 6 inches of 

clearance from the front and sides.  Once the unit is properly located, it must be secured to the wall at 

the top using the provided bracket.  Now you are ready to make the electrical connections.

Solar Connections

The Lumen includes a 4-pin connector with two solar inputs (Figure 4). Each input can accommodate 

up to 2,000 W of solar power (total of 4,000W).  It is important to balance the solar to each of these 

inputs.  Common configurations are pictured below (Figure 5).
