 for Startup procedures and other 

accessories that might need to be wired at this time such as  Ground wires, AUX controls, battery 
temperature sensors, etc.  

Once you are sure that your wiring is completed, your polarity is correct, and your settings are correct, you 
are ready to power everything up: 

1.

 

Make sure your breakers in the BIG BABY are off  

2.

 

Make the final connections to your battery terminals 

3.

 

Make the final connections to your solar modules  

4.

 

Using the multimeter, verify proper polarity and expected voltage between the bottom of the two 
circuit breakers and the negative bus bar. 

5.

 

Turn on the battery breaker first. You should see the display panel light up and LEDs flashing.  

6.

 

Enter your battery and other programming.  Read the Kid manual for set up procedures. 

7.

 

Once the Kid is operating as expected and the setup procedure is complete, the GFP and solar 
breakers can be turned on.

  

 

Your system is now active. You can finish installing any front covers or protective measures that might be 
needed. 

For warranty information

 please refer to the manuals that came with your equipment. Save all the manuals 

that came with your equipment and keep them in a system folder. They tend to come in handy at times!
