Pre-Installation Checklist
Placement
The Pinnacle Plus is an indoor unit. Install it in a dry, dust-free, well-ventilated area with a
temperature of between 60°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C). Place it on a flat, level surface that
will support its weight (up to 73 lbs, (33 kg)).
The front panel must be easily accessible to the operator.
Do not block the unit’s ventilation slots or the fans. There must be at least 4 inches (100 mm)
between the rear panel and the wall and 2 inches (50 mm) between the walls and the side
panels.
Utility Circuit Breaker
Wire the unit to a dedicated circuit equipped with a circuit breaker. See Section 3.7 for
the unit’s input specifications. All wiring should meet the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA 70.
Grounding
Older facilities may have improper grounding. A qualified electrician should inspect it before
installation to see that it meets the local electrical code.
Adding New Equipment
Shut down the unit (Section 3.1) and then disconnect the line cord before adding any new
loads, battery packs or other equipment.
2.2 Wiring the Unit
Procedure:
1
Connect the load(s) to the unit’s output connector(s) or terminal block (Figure 2.1).
2

any other options (Sections 2.3 to 2.6).
3
Connect the line to the unit’s input connector or terminal block.
TIP:
Determine what output voltage you are using. When starting the unit for the first
time, see if you need to configure the unit’s output voltage (Section 3.4).
