3 Installation Site Preparation
Before installing the product, read all instructions and warnings in this manual.
CAUTION! All electrical installation work should be performed in accordance with local building and electrical
codes.
WARNING! Isolate the PCS from all energy sources prior to electrical installation by means of disconnects, breakers
or connectors. Failure to properly isolate either AC or DC sources may result in serious injury or death. This system
will generate an AC voltage at the off-grid terminals when DC source is applied.
CAUTION! The PCS cabinet weighs up to 145 lbs. (65 kg), and the battery cabinet weighs up to 320 lbs. (145 kg)
with four battery modules installed. Handle with care.
The wall to which the system is mounted must be load-
bearing rated according to the local building code. Mechanical lifts are recommended to position cabinets on the wall
bracket.
NOTE: All interconnecting cables are limited in length, and designed specifically for adjacent cabinet mounting
using the manufactured wall brackets.
CAUTION! Do not install in direct sunlight. Battery performance is dependent upon operating ambient
temperature. Radiant heat absorbed in direct sunlight will greatly reduce the performance of the battery, and will
prematurely cause degradation of the display indicator panel on the PCS cabinet. The battery modules are rated for
operating temperature range between -10C to +50C. Indoor installation is recommended where ambient
temperatures are outside of this range.
NOTE: The DURACELL POWER CENTER 5 kW has not been evaluated in seismic environments.
3.1 Overview of PCS and Battery components
1. The cabinets can be installed in an indoor and outdoor non-corrosive environment (not marine environment).
2. The forced air cooling of the PCS cabinet is designed to flow air from bottom to top.
3. The PCS and Battery cabinets are rated Type 3R.
4. Wall mounting hardware not included. The load-bearing wall bracket is provisioned for M8 hardware. Levelling
brackets are provisioned for M5 hardware.
3.2 Installation Area Required to Wall Mount PCS and Battery:
The physical installation of the cabinets requires the layout planning and installation of the system components in the
available installation space. The recommended installation height is driven by the viewing angle of the display panel on
the PCS cabinet.
