STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION

1. Place the wall mounting bracket horizontally onto the wall and mark the position of the bracket holes.

2. Drill 6 holes at the marked positions, at least 75mm deep. Fix the mounting bracket to the wall using 6 expansion bolts.

3. Mount the battery onto the mounting bracket. For Generation 1 Inverters only

4. 4A. Connect output A to the inverter using a lug to plug cable. If not connecting to additional battery packs, apply the blanking plug to output B.
   For Generation 2 Inverters only
   4B. If multiple Generation 2 batteries are installed, connect output B of the first battery to output A on the additional battery packs using a plug to plug cable. There must be no more than 5 batteries installed. For Generation 3 Inverters only
   4C. If connecting to Generation 3 inverter, use a plug to plug cable from output A of the Generation 2 battery to the connectors within the Generation 3 inverter.              For installing additional batteries
   4D. If connecting a Generation 1 battery to a Generation 2 battery use a plug to lug cable and connect from output B in your Generation 2 battery into the comms connection within the Generation 1 battery, and set your dip switches as per instructed within the GivEnergy installation guide.4E. If connecting a Generation 2 battery to a Generation 2 battery use a plug to plug cable and connect from output B in your master battery into output A of your slave Generation 2 battery, and set your dip switches as per step 5 (below).
   

5. Set up the dipswitches on the circuit breaker, as shown below.

6. Push the ‘On/Off’ button on the right hand side of the battery, the LEDs will light up.
