Page 5: Planning Ahead
Midnite Kid Basic Solar Charging Kit Planning Ahead: Things to consider when selecting a location for the BIG BABY and KID: Length of wire- The longer the wire the more voltage drop (power loss) you will have. If you need to run a long distance, it is recommended to use a larger size wire for that specific connection. - Page 6 Midnite Kid Basic Solar Charging Kit P a g e 1 0 - 4 0 4 - 1 R E V -...
- Page 7 Midnite Kid Basic Solar Charging Kit Open the Big Baby by removing the 2 screws in the front.

- Page 10 Midnite Kid Basic Solar Charging Kit Wiring the GFP-63 breaker The positive PV wire connects to the bottom (the ++ end) of the MNDC-GFP63 breaker on the left-hand side. From the top of the MNDC-GFP63 breaker on the left-hand side, the wire wraps around to the bottom of the PV Breaker.
- Page 11 Midnite Kid Basic Solar Charging Kit Mounting the ground bus bar At this time, you can install the non-insulated grounding bus bar in the mounting hole right next to where the battery wires will come into. You will use the fastening hardware for this. Note that the Green wire from the GFP -63 will go right into it.
- Page 12 Midnite Kid Basic Solar Charging Kit Estimate the length of wire needed to go from the Big Baby to the KID terminal block. Cut and install two #10 negative wires of appropriate length to the negative bus bar, then two #10 positive wires to the top of the two breakers (the - - end).
- Page 13 Midnite Kid Basic Solar Charging Kit Marking your wires is ALWAYS a good idea Wiring the KID Controller To make the final connections to the KID, take the two solar wires coming from the top of the Big Baby and pass them through conduit and connect them to the PV Plus and PV Minus terminals.
- Page 14 Midnite Kid Basic Solar Charging Kit Do NOT make the final connection to your battery terminals at this time or you will be working with live wires! We recommend installing the MNKID at the highest point in your installation. Since the wiring comes out the bottom of the MNKID, it is easier to run the conduit straight down to the BIG BABY.
