Installation guide
Alarm cabling install:
The green connectors can be easily removed, if desired, for ease in installing the wires to the connector.
1. Remove the green plug from each connector.
2. Determine whether to reference normally closed or normally open with reference to common for
each alarm contact.
3. Strip the wires back approximately 10mm. Stranded wire may be soldered or covered with copper
ferrule if desired.
4. Insert wire into the correct positions in the green connector and tighten screw to clamp wire into
connector.
5. Route the wires through the cable area at the top left of the cabinet.
6.2.8 Connection of Symmetry Measurement and Temperature Sensor
The controller can supervise the symmetry of up to 4 battery branches. The drawing in Figure 6-8 on
page 6-12 shows how to connect the symmetry cables for 1 battery branch. Symmetry and temp. sensor
contacts are located in the right side of the distribution.
Note! The number of battery branches to be supervised has to be set in the controller in order to
activate the symmetry measurement.
It is also possible to add four temperature probes to the system for temperature compensated charging of
the battery bank. Fasten the temperature probe in the middle of the battery bank. The temperature probe
will measure the ambient temperature of a battery bank and the controller will adjust the float charge
according to the temperature compensation factor set in the controller. This factor must be set in the
controller according to the battery manufacturer recommendation.
