DANGER!
The batteries carry voltage at all times. When connecting the terminals of the sun | fusebox, the
utmost care must be taken to avoid a short circuit. First, connect the positive terminals to the
sun | fusebox and then the negative terminals. Mind that the positive and negative battery cables
never touch each other.
5. Once the screws have been tightened, attach the green protective caps (contact protection)
to the battery terminals.
6. Connect the sun | fusebox to the battery power inverters/chargers. Follow the sun | fusebox
installation instructions and the applicable specifications of the charger manufacturer.
7. Tighten the inserted cable glands in order to ensure strain relief for the connecting cable.

7.3 Connecting the battery inverter/battery charger

The following explanations do not pertain to the sun | powerpack
ted to multiple battery power inverters/chargers.
1. Take the 2.5 m long cable set and guide it (for NH00 isolator switch with the M8 cable lug)
through the openings on the left side of the carrier.
2. Fix the cable lugs of the two cables on the connection point of the fuse-protected isolator
switch on the outgoing side.
3. The cable lugs must be fixed to the isolator switch with the following torque values: NH00
isolator switch: 12 - 15 Nm; NH2 isolator switch: 30 - 35 Nm.
4. Fasten the still open ends of the cable to the battery inverter/battery charger. While doing so,
observe and follow the regulations of the battery charger manufacturer.
5. Tighten the inserted cable glands in order to ensure strain relief for the connecting cable.

7.4 Concluding work

1. Finally, check the proper fit of the connectors and the PVC piping.
2. Install the covers of the connection section of the isolator switch and insert the appropriate
fuse inserts in the isolator switch handle.
3. Make sure that the battery inverter or the battery charger is deactivated. Quickly close the
isolator switch handle.
4. Place the cover on the carrier.
5. Fix the cover and carrier with the help of M4x10 Allen screw supplied along with the battery
system on the left side (see Figure 9).

6. Affix the multi-lingual danger sticker on the left side of the battery carrier.
7. Affix the safety signs "Danger - Batteries" and "Smoking prohibited" outside on the door of
the battery room.

8 Operating the battery system

8.1 Impact of temperature

The recommended operating temperature range for lead-acid batteries is between 10 °C and 30 °C.
The technical specification applies for the nominal temperature of 20 °C. The ideal operating
temperature range is 20 °C ± 5 K. Higher temperatures decrease the service life (a temperature
increase of 10 °C halves the calendar service life). Lower temperatures reduce the available capa-
city. The limit temperature of 55°C must not be exceeded. Continuous operating temperatures of
45 °C or more must be avoided.

8.2 Configuration of the battery inverter

Follow the current specifications of the inverter manufacturer and the parameter values specified
by HOPPECKE for the general configuration.
