sult local building codes and a licensed contractor to

ensure the use of appropriate fasteners.

• Minimum 4 structural fasteners required for wall

bracket, corrosion protected steel, diameter 1/4 in.

• Minimum 4 structural fasteners required for foot

bracket. Use corrosion protected steel, diameter

1/4 in.

• Fastener head clearance 5/8 in tall, 7/8 in diameter.

• Use a flat washer between the fastener head and

wall bracket if fastener is not a flanged head.

• All fasteners must be field supplied.

• Installer must ensure that fasteners selected are

appropriately rated for this application.

Fastening Requirements

•

All fasteners must engage 1 1/2 in (3.8 cm) with a

structural member.

• If mounting into stud framing use a stud finder to

locate the center of the stud.

• If mounting into stud framing, the bracket must be

fastened to a minimum of two separate structural

members.

• If mounting to a foundation or masonry, make sure

fasteners are clear of any mortar joints.

• If stud is greater than 16 in on center, a cross brace

must be used.

• If mounting on vinyl siding, unistruts must be used.

• Brackets must be level.

• Each horizontal brace requires a minimum of two

fasteners.

Installing Foot Bracket

NOTE: A template is included on the inside of the PWR-

cell Battery packaging and will help locate the holes for

both wall and foot brackets.

Mount foot bracket to wall with the following procedure:

1. See Figure 1. Install the foot bracket bottom edge

to a minimum height of 3 in and a maximum height

of 6 in to keep the Battery Disconnect Switch at a

maximum height of 79 in above grade.

a. If greater height is desired, installation of an

additional DC disconnect listed 30 A 600 V will

be required for the battery to meet NEC

404.8(A).

Figure 1. Foot Bracket Install Height

2. See Figure 2. Locate structural members to mount

foot bracket (A). If structural members are greater

than 16 in apart, install cross brace to ensure

mounting to a solid structure.

3. See Figure 2. Install foot bracket (A) using lower

holes with fasteners and washers (B) making sure

bracket remains plumb and level.

NOTE: Do not install the top fasteners at this stage. This

will inhibit installation of the stands.
