•
The
Hawke’s Bay
weighs 23 pounds. The
optional Hawke’s Bay
Breaker Box weighs 12
pounds. The mounting surface and hardware must be capable of supporting at least twice
the weight of these components.
•
Mount at least 2’ from any flammable or combustible fluid or components (i.e., paper,
cloth, plastic, etc.) that may be ignited by heat, sparks, or flames.
•
The area must be free from any risk of condensation, water, or any other liquid that can
enter or fall on the
Hawke’s Bay
.
•
Mount vertically on a flat,
non-combustible
surface.
•
Remove knockouts before mounting.
•
Plan any conduit runs now.
Mounting

3.
Install top two
¼” x 2” lag bolts
to wall, leaving about ¼”
exposed.
4.

HAWKE’S BAY
CONNECTIONS
(Figure 2)
Terminal Block #1 -
Breaker Trip circuits, connect to PV input remote-trip breaker(s). The
Hawke’s Bay
will signal the breaker to trip open when the PV input voltage exceeds 600VDC.
Use
#22 AWG
wire.
CANBUS Receptacles #2 -
Connects
the Hawke’s Bay to other MidNite CANBUS circuits.
Use
standard RJ-45, CAT 5 cable. If this data cable is inside a
conduit that also holds any current-carrying wires, then use
CAT 6 shielded cable. If only using one of the two CANBUS
terminals, then the unused terminal must have a
terminator plug installed.
Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) Receptacle #3 -
Connect the BTS here. Only one BTS is required on a multi-
Hawke’s Bay system. The Hawke’s Bays will share battery
temperature via CANBUS.
