2.3.6 Mounting
Methods
Two mounting methods are available for the PT-100. The
fi
rst method allows the controller to be
mounted next to a Magnum Panel (i.e., MP or MMP), aligning the conduit openings (see Figure 2-8).
The second mounting method uses two brackets on the top and bottom of the controller for
mounting directly on a wall, and is normally used in a standalone installation (see Figure 2-10).
2.3.6.1
Mounting the Charge Controller on a Magnum Panel
Use the following steps to mount the PT controller on a Magnum panel:
1. Mount the charge controller bracket (MP-CCB*) on either side of a MP or MMP panel. The
keyhole slots on the back of the controller will be used to attach to the charge control bracket,
see the Section 2.3.6.1.1 to install the bracket on a Magnum panel.
Note *: The MP-CCB is included when you purchase a Magnum Panel (MMP or MP).
2. Remove the 1¼” conduit knockout in the Magnum panel that corresponds with the conduit
knockout in the PT controller.
3. Use a 2” close nipple (with 1¼” openings) for the wire run between the Magnum panel and
the PT controller. Align one end of the nipple with lock nuts and insulator cap through the side
knockout opening in the panel and the other end thru the knockout opening in the controller.
Info:
It may take three locknuts on the close nipple to anchor the controller to the
enclosure. An additional locknut may be required between the enclosure and the
controller to act as a spacer. Also, a standard one inch plastic bushing should be used
on the nipple ends to protect the wire insulation as it enters/exits the nipple.
4. Ensure the PT controller is secured to the MP panel.
