Isolate the open cable ends with an insulating tape or a luster clamp. Connect the cables from the solar module and the consumers to the Power-Blox in the order described. - Page 12 WARNING: Model PBX 200 with lead batteries Risk of injury from acid. The Power-Blox contains two AGM lead batteries with 12 V and 50 Ah each. Do not expose the battery to open fire or sparks. Thoroughly ventilate the installation location of the Power-Blox. Flammable gases can escape from the battery.

Page 13: Connections And Main Switch
The main switch is switched on by tilting to the left (position I). Tilt to the right (position O) turns off the Power-Blox. The Power-Blox starts into a boot and measuring cycle after switching on, so it does not deliver power directly to the integrated sockets (1). Wait approximately one minute for the Power-Blox to complete all tests and be ready for operation. -

(14). Read more in the chapter 7.7. 7.2.5 Coupling of Power-Blox By linking individual Power-Blox devices to a whole system, you can achieve several effects: § The performance of the entire system is increased § The memory of the combined system is increased §... - Page 16 The resulting tower is provided at the sockets outlet (1) the power of all Power-Blox in the tower. If you want to create larger mini-grids, go to chapter 7.8.3.

Page 17: Minimum Distances
The interconnection of several towers takes place analogously to the coupling process described in the previous chapter to a Power-Blox tower. In this case, the transfer cable (9) of the lowest power-blox is connected to the transfer bush (6) of the neighboring tower. -
Page 18: Using The Connection Terminals (16-19)
Thus, the system delivers the performance of the entire system at one of the top sockets of a tower. In our example, with 9 Power-Blox, this results in 9 x 200 W = 1.8 kW power, which can be tapped at the socket. Please note that some types of sockets are designed for a lower maximum power depending on the country specification. - Page 19 Prepare the cables according to the following drawing and push them as far as they will go into the corresponding opening of the terminal: Now close the terminals: When closing, ensure that the clamp is fully closed and the bracket does not protrude: Installation and Operating Instructions PBX-200 PB / Li page 19...

Figure 16: Interconnection of the Power-Blox as a pure backup unit If you are using the Power-Blox as an interruption-free power supply, simply connect it to the power outlet using the supplied power cord and use the integrated sockets (1) to feed your appliances. -
Page 23: Power-Blox Installation
IMPORTANT! Terminal (19) is connected to the mains input of the Power-Blox as standard, so you will already find three installed cables on these terminals. To avoid dangerous mains voltage at the contacts of the mains socket (7), remove the three pre-installed cables before connecting the mains to terminal (18) and isolate them individually with insulating tape or luster terminals. -

LED. When the discharge reaches 40%, the indicator changes to orange and 30% to red. Below 20% the inverter is switched off and the last red LED starts flashing. Operate the Power-Blox only in the green area of the display. In this charging area the battery is spared and has the highest life expectancy. -
