5.2.4. PEF9W-250 Installation 

The PEF9W-250B wall/floor mount battery enclosure to securely house our batteries in an outdoor 
environment.  The cabinets are suitable to be installed indoor or outdoor. The cabinet comes fully 
assembled for easy battery fitting on site. No extra wiring is required on site and is all plug and play. 

• The cabinet should be installed on level, solid surface.  The surface should be concrete, brick, masonite 

or similar. 

• Securely mount the battery enclosure to the wall using appropriate fastening.  Your fastening types will 

vary depending on wall surface and substrate. 

• The wall should be rated to support all equipment, including up to 342kg plus the weight of other PCE’s 

and balance of system installed. 

• The feet should be adjusted to level and stabilise the cabinet. 
• Choose cable entry position to suit your application.  Cable entry can positioned anywhere around the 

cabinet to suit the application. 

• 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 of the cabinet.  

• Ensure all filings from forming holes are removed from cabinet 
• The busbar assembly (including DC isolator) can removed for ease of battery installation or batteries can 

be manoeuvred around. 

• Batteries can be slid into place on their side with their battery terminals face outwards. 
• Using a 2 person lift, slide the batteries into the cabinet starting from the bottom shelf at the rear and 

working your way to the front and the repeat on next shelf and finally the upper shelf. 

• Secure the busbar assembly back in to place. 
• Connect corresponding Amphenol cables to batteries. 
• PCE main cables or System main DC isolator can be connected to the main 250Amp (adjustable) 

integrated cabinet isolator.
