© 2016 Sensata TechnologiesPage 19Installation2.4.4 Wiring the Battery BankWARNING: Lethal currents will be present if the positive and negative cables attachedto the battery bank touch each other. During the installation and wiring process, ensurethe cable ends are insulated or covered to prevent touching/shorting the cables.Info: DO NOT connect the DC wires from the battery bank to the inverter until 1) all DCand AC wiring is complete, 2) the correct DC and AC overcurrent protection has beeninstalled, and 3) the correct DC voltage and polarity have been verified.Info: For the MS Series inverter/charger to perform optimally, a minimum battery bankof 200 AH is recommended for moderate loads (<1000W) and greater than 400 AH forheavy loads (≥1000W).Depending upon the voltage of the batteries you use in the installation (6 or 12 VDC), the batteriesmust be wired in series, parallel, or series-parallel to provide the correct voltage (see AppendixB – Battery Information for guidance on wiring batteries together). The interconnecting DC wiresmust be sized and rated exactly the same as those used between the battery bank and the inverter.Place the batteries as close as practical to the inverter, preferably in an insulated and ventilatedenclosure. Allow adequate space above the batteries to access the terminals and vent caps (asapplicable). Also, allow at least 1” (2.5 cm) of space between the batteries to provide good airflow. DO NOT mount the batteries directly under the inverter.CAUTION: Install batteries in a well ventilated area. Batteries can produce explosivegasses. For compartment or enclosure installations, always vent batteries to the outside.Info: To ensure the best performance from your inverter system, batteries should beof the same size, type, rating, and age. Do not use old or untested batteries.Figure 2-7, Battery HardwareInstallationFigure 2-8, Inverter DC HardwareInstallationbattery cable(with ring lug)nutsplit washerBatteryTemperatureSensorbatterypostCAUTION:Ensure nothing isplaced betweenthe cable ring lugand battery post.5/16-18Flange orKep nutbattery cable(with ring lug)Inverter DC terminal( 5/16–18 bolt,5/8" usable length )CAUTION:Ensure nothing isplaced between the DCterminal and ring lug.
