4.5.1. Mounting Surface
If you are anchoring the mounting plate into wood studs use at least four (one at each corner) #14
(1/4") wood screws with washers. The screws must be long enough to penetrate at least 1½" into
the studs.
If you are anchoring into plywood wall material, the plywood must be at least ¾ inch thick. Use
four (one at each corner) #14 (1/4") wood screws with washers. The screws must be long enough
to penetrate at least ¼ inch beyond the back of the plywood. You can also use four (one at each
corner) heavy duty ¼-inch toggle bolts, rated for at least 250 lb.
If you are anchoring into metal studs, the studs must be a minimum of 18 gauge. Use at least four
(one at each corner) #14 sheet metal screws with washers. The screws must be long enough to
penetrate at least three threads beyond the stud. If installing on a wall with metal studs less than
18 gauge, a mounting surface (such as a larger plywood surface to distribute the weight) must be
attached to the wall prior to installing.
If you are anchoring into concrete or masonry, the minimum strength of the concrete must be at
least 2500 PSI, while the minimum strength of the masonry must be at least 1500 PSI. Drill holes
into the concrete or masonry with the 12 mm drill bit at the marks you made earlier. Hammer the
included M8*30 expansion screws into the wall. Attach the plate onto the wall with the M8 bolts.
4.5.2. Mounting and Securing the HAB™
Using sufficient resources lift the HAB™ onto the wall bracket. Using the two M8*16mm bolts pro-
vided, secure the HAB to the wall bracket. We strongly recommend using lift equipment and straps
to secure and steady the KiloVault® HAB™.
Warning:
DO NOT reverse the polarity (positive and negative) of your unit’s connections.
NEVER short circuit your KiloVault® HAB™.
Warning:
After powering down a HAB, you must wait at least 30 seconds before turning it
back on again. Failing to wait at least 30 seconds risks causing internal short cir-
cuit events and causing damage to its internal resistors.
Warning:
The KiloVault® HAB™ is for use with 48 V systems only. DO NOT connect them in
series!
