The wall-mount bracket allows 16-inch battery-to-battery spacing: 

 

 
 

 

3. Install the AC Disconnect (if required) 

Following all local codes and standards: 

a.

 

Choose an AC Disconnect that can break the maximum rated current of the branch circuit under load 

(20 A maximum).  

b.

 

Connect one side of the disconnect to the load center: 

c.

 

Verify that AC voltage at the site is within range. Single-phase L1 (Active) to L2 must measure 

between 211 and 264 VAC, while L to N should measure between 106 and 132 VAC. 

WARNING

! Risk of equipment failure. Size the conductor gauge to account for voltage rise 

for both the branch circuit and all upstream conductors leading back to the PCC (point of 

common coupling). Refer to the technical brief on voltage rise at
