5.1.2. Rack Series Enclosure Installation
• Wheel cabinet into position.
• Choose cable entry position to suit your application. Multiple cable entry trays are positioned on and
around the enclosure.
• Ensure suitable glands or similar are used to protect the cables after forming cable entry hole.
• Glands are not supplied and should be of the same or higher IP rating than the cabinet.
• Ensure all filings from forming holes are removed from cabinet.
• Connect main DC cable from main System (PCE) DC isolator to the PIR enclosure DC busbar with M8 nut,
washer and locking washer (supplied) and tighten.
• Close rear door and move cabinet into final position.
• Secure locking feet and wind down until firm against the ground, transferring the cabinet weight from the
castor wheels and ensuring cabinet is level.
• Using a 2 person lift, slide the batteries into the cabinet starting from the bottom and working your way to
the top.
• Connect corresponding Amphenol cables to batteries.
Note: The castor wheels are not designed to take the weight of the cabinet and batteries. The locking feet
supplied must be used. Failure to use the locking feet may result in failure of the castor wheels and cause
physical harm or damage to battery storage system.
Note: Batteries should be loaded from the bottom of the cabinet working your way to the top. This ensures
the cabinet remains stable.
Note: The cabinets have fans installed for cooling. These fans are 240V powered and are on when
powered. Fans are not compulsory for cooling, but if your installation requires, an ambient temperature
controlled switch may be required to turn the on and off as necessary. These are available from any
PowerPlus Energy place of purchase.
Note: When paralleling multiple battery cabinets, battery cables from each cabinet must be the same length
and cable size to ensure cabinet impedances remain the same. The use of an external busbar is highly
recommended.
