Connecting terminal blocks to sidecars

To minimize risk, terminal block-to-sidecarconnections are made prior to sidecar-to-battery breaker connections and battery-to-terminal block connections. TOP entry of 120 mm2 [#4/0] cable (not supplied) is recommended for all connections specified in this section. Each terminal block assembly contains preset hardware for securing cable lugs.

All external cable must comply with European and local electrical code.

Note

1.Using one (1) 120 mm2 [#4/0] cable, connect the BAT 1+ terminal in Terminal Block #1 to either of the two BAT 1+ vertical bars in the Sidecar.

At Terminal Block #1: If using top cable entry, connect to top terminal (as shown) of the BAT 1+ segment on left. Otherwise, connect to bottom terminal. Secure lug to stud with preset washer and nut. To relieve strain, zip tie cable to the shelf directly above the terminal block.
