Bracket Installation

Open the battery enclosure with a PH2 Philips screwdriver and remove the accessories kit.
Assemble the bracket as shown using M5x12 screws.
Attach the bracket to the back side of the battery system with M5x12 machine screws. Tighten to 3 N·m (26.55 lb-in) torque.
Drill a 0.47 in (12mm) hole with a 2.76 in (70mm) depth into the floor. Embed the anchor expansion bolts and affix the cabinet to the ground.
Install the bracket on the wall with M6x50 tapping screws.
- IMPORTANT NOTES:
- When installing it on a concrete wall, properly drill into the wall with M6x50 expansion anchor screws.
- If Savant Power Inverter is installed separately from the battery system, install the bracket on a surface capable of supporting its weight using an M6x50 tapping screw.
- Then hang the Savant Power inverter on the bracket, and fasten it with M4x16 screws.
- Inverter Installation
Remove the battery seal cap marked BAT/COM on the bottom left of the Savant Power Inverter.
Remove the Battery Status panel side communication cable panel.
Hang the inverter on the bracket.
Fasten the Savant Power Inverter and the bracket with M5x12 machine screws. (Torque: 3 N·m).
Fasten Savant Power Inverter and the battery cabinet with conduit and screw kit, as shown.
Gently plug in each battery module from the bottom up.
- Fasten the modules on both sides using M4x8 screws (Torque: 1.2 N·m).
- NOTE: Mark number 1~8 on the labels of each battery module before installation and plug them into the cabinet in reverse numerical order.
- Always keep batteries ordered as they are first installed.

Wiring

Connect the battery system to the Savant Power Inverter with ground wire.
Make the REF, BAT-, and BAT+ connections from the inverter through the conduit to the corresponding connections on the battery access panel through the conduit.
