Battery Connection Panels, continued
Connecting (+) and
(-) Conductors
Battery (-) conductors are connected to the exposed bus bar ends of the
battery contactors. Battery (+) conductors are connected to the battery
return bus. See Figure 11-16 to Figure 11-19 to locate the battery
connection panels.
Installing Battery
Connection Panels
For all battery connection panels, connect the first wire lead towards the
back of the cabinet.
Installing Battery Connection Panels
Step
Action
1
Before making any battery connections:
a. Verify that the battery fuses and alarm fuses are not
installed.
b. If the panel is equipped with contactors, place the
forced-off switches on the Alarm board in the forced OPEN
position. See Figure 11-20.
2
Verify that all ac and dc protectors are OFF.
3
Terminate the appropriate conductors with terminal lugs as
required. Use heat shrink insulating sleeves over any
exposed lug shanks as necessary.
4
Connect the cabinet end of the battery cables to the
contactors and return bus. Next connect the battery end of
the cables. Tape the terminal lugs as required for safety
during installation. If a battery contactor is not being used to
keep the batteries off the bus, do not connect the leads at the
batteries.
5
Use a dc voltmeter to check the voltages at the contactors,
battery bus, and return bus. Verify the polarity.
6
If the battery connection panel is equipped with contactors,
do not place the forced-off switches on the Alarm board in
the NORMAL position at this time. See Figure 11-20.
7
Refer to the Alarm Card in Section 8, Circuit Boards for
operation of the Alarm card for control of the contactors.
