Connecting A Battery To The J35 - BMPRO J35 + ControlNode Owner's Manual

CONNECTING A BATTERY TO THE J35

Sparks have the potential to cause an explosion should combustible gases be
present. The following procedures are designed to minimise the risk of spark
generation when connecting or disconnecting the battery. The positive terminal of
the battery must not be connected to the chassis.
To connect a battery to the J35:
1.
Power off all loads connected to the J35. The simplest way is with the switch
connected to the J35 Load Isolation input.
2.
Turn off and remove all power sources (mains/solar/AUX) to the J35.
3.
Connect the battery's positive (red) terminal to the J35 Batt+ connection
point.
4.
Connect the battery's negative (black) terminal to the J35 Batt- connection
point.
It is recommended that a 40A fuse is installed as close as possible to the
battery's positive terminal to protect against short-circuits and reversed battery
connections.
