5. Finalizing 1. Transporting The HoneyBadger system is supplied on a pallet as shown at right. It is fully set-up and ready to run. The system weighs around 392kg with 4x lithium batteries and requires lifting equipment to handle it. The system can only be lifted from the base. - Page 10 Securing the system to the wall is done by screwing through the hole on the left and right corner of the systems roof. The HoneyBadger also has four holes in the base to allow for securing. This can be done with dynabolts or material appropriate screws.
- Page 11 NOTE: The MCB is rated at 50A, be sure to use appropriate cabling. Generator Auto-Start and Charger HoneyBadger contains two terminals on the left end of the top DIN rail that do not appear when the faceplate is installed. These terminals are connected to a dry contact that can be programmed to automatically start a generator, or it can be used to activate a signal light indicating that the manual start generator is required.
