Section 1:  Connecting your RIOT device to your system

Your RIOT CloudLink can accept a nominal input voltage from 24v to 48v DC. The following steps are based on a 48V
inverter installation. Your inverter setup may vary. If you are unsure, contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
Refer to the inverter compatibility table on page 15. 12v Compatible RIOT Cloudlink are available on request.

Step 1: Power cable.

If your device did not come with a set of power leads or your supplied power leads are not adequate for your setup,
Assemble 2 lengths of cable in red and black with the 8mm ring lugs on one side to suit your inverter or battery. On
the other end of the cable fit a 0.5mm² bootlace ferrule.

Step 2: Installing power.

WARNING: Follow the steps in order as stated. Failure to do so can
cause damage to the device and render it inoperable.

1) Isolate power to the inverter

2) Turn off the inverter and Battery (Lithium).

3) Wait 5 minutes for any residual power in the inverter to drain before
disconnecting the battery from the inverter.

4) Fully insert the black cable into the negative (-) terminal of the
device (closest to the LED bar) as shown. Lightly pull back on the cable
and make sure that it has been securely fitted.

5) Fully insert the red cable into the positive (+) terminal of the RIOT
CloudLink (furthest away from the LED bar) as shown. Lightly pull back
on the cable and make sure that it has been securely fitted.

6) Install the black wire on top of the negative battery terminal and
affix the nut to the terminal. Tighten to the recommended torque in
the manual for your inverter.

7) Install the red wire on top of the positive battery terminal and affix
the nut to the terminal. Tighten to the recommended torque in the
manual for your inverter.

8) Reconnect the battery and power up your inverter and battery.

You will see the PWR led on the RIOT CloudLink turn on.

WARNING: DO NOT use the Red Serial cable and external
power at the same time. Use only the blue Serial cable with
external power. Not following this step correctly could
damage your device!

Note: Your device may differ from illustration. Consult your inverter and/or battery manual for connection of your
battery to the inverter or contact a qualified electrician for assistance.
