Non-critical (Single Grey Anderson): this is for your accessories that don’t matter if they lose power e.g. 12v TV or certain lighting.
Critical (Double Grey Anderson): This is for accessories that need to have power all the time e.g. fridges, CPAP machines, emergency lighting

Mounting the board

The first step is mounting the Power Board in the desired location in your canopy/camper. You will need to drill your own mounting points on the board, we have left space on each of the 4 corners to do so (red dots on the diagram below). Then securely mount the board in the desired location. The board can only be mounted vertically or flat on the ground, under NO circumstances should the board be mounted facing down.

Mounting and Connecting the Victron Multiplus

The next step is mounting and then connecting your Victron Multiplus to the Power Board. The Multiplus should be mounted as per specifications provided in the provided Multiplus Manual, which is either flat on the ground or vertical with the use of the provided mounting bracket. Once mounted, you can then connect the board to the Multiplus. This can be done through the supplied cables, with the red cable labelled “To Inverter +” to be connected to the positive of Multiplus, and the black cable labelled “To Inverter -” should be connected to the negative of the Multiplus. It should look something like the following diagram.

To connect the AC In & Out to the unit, please consult a licensed electrician. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE AC IN & OUT BE CONNECTED BY UNQUALIFIED PERSONNEL, ONLY BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

Connect the Baintech 110aH Lithium batteries in Parallel

The next step is to run your supplied Baintech Lithium Batteries in parallel. This can be done by connecting the supplied cables, with the red cables labelled “Parallel +” to be connected to the positive terminals of all 3 batteries, and the black cables labelled “Parallel -” should be connected to the negative terminals of all 3 batteries. (Ensure the black negative cables are connected LAST). Once the batteries are connected in parallel, mount the batteries to the floor in your desired spot.

Connect the batteries to the Baintech Ultimate Off-Grid Board

The next step is to connect your batteries to the board. This can be done by connecting the supplied cables, with the red cable labelled “Battery +” to be connected to the positive terminal on the left of the battery bank, and the black cables labelled “Battery -” should be connected to the negative terminals on the right side of the battery bank. (Ensure the black negative cables are connected LAST). Once the batteries are connected to the board, you can turn the battery switch on and you’re all set up to go on your next outdoor adventure!!
