Fitting the antenna

Attach the antenna as directed by the antenna's manufacturer. Phoenix Contact offers a
variety of antenna solutions (see "Ordering data" on page 10-4 and INTERFACE catalog for
further information).
The antenna cable is connected to the surge protector in the solar system control cabinet.
Therefore, when installing the antenna, make sure that the control cabinetend of the
antenna cable has an industry standard N-type male connector.

Connecting the battery

WARNING: Risk of electric shock at solar panels
Solar panels can produce hazardous voltages whenever exposed to sunlight. Even when
not in full sunlight.
• Therefore, when working with solar panels or connecting cables during the daytime,
cover solar panels with an opaque material.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock when fuses are installed
When carrying out any work on the solar panel, loads or battery, make sure that fuses for
the solar system are not installed in the fuse terminal blocks of the control cabinet
electronics.
• Before carrying out any work on the solar system, remove the three fuses from the
fuse terminal blocks in the control cabinet in the specified order (1. Solar panel,
2. Battery, 3. Loads). This will isolate the voltage sources from the circuit.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock at the battery
The system has two batteries which are operated in series. When installing batteries,
please note that there is a risk of personal injury due to short circuits and damage may be
caused to the system.
• Take particular care when installing the batteries in the control cabinet.
• Avoid short circuits between the [+] and [–] battery poles, e.g., caused by a tool or
control cabinet parts.
• Only use insulated tools.
• When installing the battery, connect the positive pole [+] first. When removing the
battery, disconnect the negative pole [–] first.
• Make sure that the connecting cables are fitted securely.
• Do not lift up or pull the battery by the battery poles.
• Avoid shocks and sudden loads on the batteries.
• Despite the very low gas emission of the battery, do not install any sparking parts
(switches, relays or similar) in the direct vicinity of the battery.
• Operating batteries at their operating temperature limits may reduce their service life
(depending on duration,charge, etc.).
Battery behaviour will change in the event of continual low temperatures under 0 °C.
