1. 2. The shelf mounting heights in the BOSS.12 Enclosure are pre-configured to accommodate the PHI batteries. Adjusting the shelves’ locations is not necessary. Make sure all PHI Battery module circuit breakers are in the “OFF” position. Prepare the battery modules for installation by removing all plastic terminal covers, 11/16” stainless steel hex nuts and 3/8” lock washers from the batteries’ terminals and set aside.
9. Attach the horizontal positive (red) interconnecting copper busbars onto the batteries’ positive terminals. Use the 3/8” flat washers (included with the busbars), 3/8” lock washers and 11/16” stainless steel hex nuts (originally included on the batteries) to secure the busbars directly to the batteries’ terminals, tightening the nuts to 160 in-lbs. (see Figure 6 on the following page).
