6.3.2 Prepare for battery cables

The battery cables can be pulled through the cable sealing in the bottom of the Connection Compartment or pulled through the battery cabinet wall into the battery connection box. To connect the battery cables through the battery cabinet wall, drill a hole in the battery cabinet wall (see figure 6.5). Prepare for the battery cables before you attach the Connection Compartment.

If the battery cables are pulled through the cable sealing in the bottom of the Connection Compartment, continue to Attach and connect the Connection Compartment.

1) Identify the location for the hole for the battery cables. 2) Drill a hole in the battery cabinet sufficient for the battery cables and the elastic tube, not larger than Ø85 mm. 3) Put the plastic tube into the hole to prevent damage to the battery cables by sharp edges.

6.3.3 Attach and connect the Connection Compartment

Use cables according to section 4.6 Cable requirements for all connections. Attach the Connection Compartment to the Mounting Frame as described below and shown in figures 6.6 and 6.7.

1) If a hole is drilled for in the battery cabinet wall for the battery cables, make sure that the hole in the battery cabinet wall aligns with the hole in the battery connection box. 2) Attach the Connection Compartment to the Mounting Frame with four M8x30 screws (supplied). Use a 13 mm socket wrench.

3) Install the Top Cover for the Connection Compartment and fold it down as protection for the Connection Compartment.

4) Push the power cables from the associated systems through the cable sealing on the Connection Compartment bottom (see figure 6.8). Use a screwdriver to make a small hole in the sealing before you push the cables through the sealing. 5) Connect the power cables in the Connection Compartment according to the instructions in the sections below. 6) Keep the Connection Compartment open and continue to prepare and dock the Main Compartment.

6.3.4 Connect the ground cable

1) Remove the insulation from the cable (see figure 6.9). Use a wire stripping tool.

2) Put the ground cable in the cable connector on the ground bar. 3) Tighten the screw. Use a 13 mm socket wrench.

6.3.5 Connect the battery bank

1) Remove the insulation from the cable (see figure 6.9). Use a wire stripping tool. 2) Attach the cable lug. Use a crimping tool.

3) Remove the four screws and remove the black plastic lid from the battery connection box (see figure 6.10). Use a torx T20.

4) If the battery cables are pulled through the battery cabinet wall, remove the circular lid on the rear side of the battery connection box (see figure 6.11). Pull the battery cables through the drilled hole in the battery cabinet wall and into the battery connection box. If the battery cables are pulled from the bottom of the Connection Compartment, push the battery cables through the cable sealing on the Connection Compartment bottom (see figure 6.8).

5) Connect the negative battery cable to the negative battery bar with a 16 mm bolt and a 17 mm nut (see figure 6.12). Tighten the connection bolt (torque, 10-15 Nm). Use a 17 mm ring spanner. 6) Connect the positive battery cable to the positive battery bar with a 16 mm bolt and a 17 mm nut (see figure 6.12). Tighten the connection bolt (torque, 10-15 Nm). Use a 17 mm ring spanner.

7) Connect the voltage sensor cable to the battery terminal, the positive wire is connected to the positive battery terminal and the negative wire is connected to the negative battery terminal (see figure 6.13). 8) Put the battery temperature sensor in the middle of the battery bank (see figure 6.13). The temperature sensor is connected to the I/O screw terminal from factory, see section 7.3 Connect the signal cables. 9) Connect the MCB battery bank signal to monitor the battery fuse. If there are more than one battery MCB, connect these in series. 10) Connect the battery door monitoring. On the I/O screw terminal there is a cable with 24V connected on these pins to prevent alarm. These cables shall be disconnected before connecting the new cable. 11) Seal the space between the plastic tube holding the cables and the battery connection box. Use sealing foam. 12) Reattach the lid on the battery connection box and tighten the screws.

6.3.6 Connect AC power connection A

6.4.2 How to lift the Main Compartment

Before you lift the Main Compartment you must:

• know the weight of the Main Compartment (RC: ~60 kg, RSC: ~65 kg).

• make sure the area is clear of obstruction.

• make sure there are no wet or slippery surfaces in the area.

When you lift the Main Compartment, do as follows (see figure 6.19):

1) Stand as close to the box as possible. 2) Make sure you are steady on your feet and keep a good balance. 3) Keep your back straight and use your legs and hips to lower yourself down to the box. 4) Get a firm hold of the Main Compartment with your hands. 5) Lift slowly by extending your legs with your back straight.

6.4.3 Prepare to dock the Main Compartment

Prepare the Connection Compartment for docking with the Main Compartment by following these steps (see figure 6.20):

1) Lift the Top Cover for the Connection Compartment and keep it in a vertical position. 2) On some models, there is a metal plate attached from factory on top of the Connection Compartment. Remove the metal plate using a screwdriver. Carefully lift the plate without damaging the Connection Compartment. The metal plate can be disposed of when removed.

6.4.4 Dock the Main Compartment

1) Pry the locks open on the transportation box for the Main Compartment (see figure 6.21).

2) Unpack the Main Compartment and remove the styrofoam.

3) Lift the Main Compartment and make sure that the guides on the right and the left side of the unit go into the slots.

4) Let the Main Compartment slide down the slots to sit on the latch (see figure 6.22). 5) Pull out the latch and lower the Main Compartment into the correct position.

Make sure that the Main Compartment is tightly docked with the Connection Compartment to prevent problems because of distance between the compartments. The dark grey area on the Main Compartment must completely cover the dark grey part of the Connection Compartment.
