Step 3- Connect battery cables to your batteries
The battery must be wired to match the units DC input voltage specifications
(CPI-500 for 12Vdc, CPI-1000 for 24Vdc).
In addition, the batteries can be wired to provide additional runtime. The
various wiring configuration are as follows:
z
Series Connection:
Wiring batteries in “series” increases the total output
voltage. This voltage MUST match the DC voltage requirements of the
CiTO unit, or damage may occur to both the CiTO unit and/or the
batteries.
z
Parallel Connection:
Wiring batteries in “parallel” increases the total run
time the batteries can operate the AC loads. The more batteries
connected in parallel the longer the loads can be powered from the CiTO
unit.
z
Series-Parallel Connection:
“Series-parallel” configurations increase
both the battery voltage (to match the DC requirements of CiTO unit) and
run-time for operating the AC loads.
