3-Cell GX2000 trays provide UBC Zone 4 compliance

when stacked 4 modules high and UBC Zone 1 compli-

ance at 8 modules high.

Terminal Plates

 

 

Each system is supplied with a terminal plate assembly

for the positive and negative terminations. These should

always be used to provide proper connection to the oper-

ating

equipment

and

cell

terminals.

Any attempt to connect load cables directly to cell termi-

nal may compromise battery system performance as well

as the integrity of cell post seals.

Grounding

 

 

 

It is recommended that the modules or racks be ground- ed in accordance with NEC and/or local codes. See Appendix C for recommended procedure.
