Page 5: Enclosure Installation
Enclosure Installation Side of Pole Mount Enclosure Ground Mounted Enclosure 1. Mount upper mounting bracket at desired height of enclosure on the pole using U-bolts 1. Install the base mounting pads at the desired location using 1/2 inch concrete fastening or band clamps. -
Page 6: Control Panel Installation
Control Panel Installation Side of Pole Mount Enclosure (Chest Enclosure Same) 1. Remove second set of supplied nuts from mounting studs located on the side wall of the enclosure 2.

Page 7: Electrical Installation
Single module with quick connectors Electrical Installation ground wire connects to mounting bolt at module PV Array Wiring with Quick Connectors Set circuit breakers to OFF (open) and remove fuses in enclosure (if provided). 1. Route the output conductors from the PV panel to the enclosure. Secure the conductors to the PV panel frame or the mounting surface using wire ties or other restraining hard- ware (not provided). - Page 8 Electrical Installation PV Array Wiring with Tray Cable Set circuit breakers to OFF (open) and remove fuses in enclosure (if provided). 1. Route the output conductors from the PV panel to the enclosure. Secure the conductors to the PV panel frame or the mounting surface using wire ties or other restraining hard- ware (not provided).
- Page 9 Electrical Installation Battery Wiring For 12V systems Each 12V battery is in parallel with the next. Connect the RED jumper from BAT 1 POSITIVE (+) terminal to the BAT 2 POSITIVE (+) terminal and the BLK jumper from BAT 1 NEGATIVE (-) terminal to the BAT 2 NEGATIVE (-) terminal.
- Page 10 Test the PV System Confirm all connections, fittings, and fasteners are secure and the PV array surface is clean and facing South. Measure Voltages (Confirm all breakers are off before measuring) Set breakers to the ON (closed) position Verify both the PV and battery polarity is positive. If negative, reverse wiring On the charge control panel to the system and check again.

Page 11: Connect Your Equipment
Connect Your Equipment 1. Turn the Power Ready System OFF. A. Turn the PV breaker (CB1) OFF B. Turn the Battery breaker (CB2) OFF C. Turn the Load breaker (CB3) OFF D. Connect your equipment to the terminal blocks on the control panel. 2. - Page 12 Calculate Installation Tilt and Azimuth For optimum performance, your PV array should face true south in the Northern Hemisphere (and true north in the Southern Hemisphere). However, when determining direction using a magnetic compass, indicated bearings will vary from true bearings because of the difference between the location of the true and magnetic north poles.
