4.5.4 – Making DC Connections

This section only applies to AccESS systems equipped with the optional Conext MPPT 80 600

Solar Charge Controller. Refer to the Conext MPPT 80 600 Owner’s Guide

for further information

regarding functionality programming of the charge controller.

Note: Before connecting PV, verify the cable polarity and mark the cable accordingly as Positive or

Negative.

The SimpliPhi AccESS is equipped with multiple knock outs.

• Bring the PV wiring from the PV disconnect into the AccESS enclosure through the

appropriate knock out for PV IN.

• Strip 0.5” of insulation from the Positive PV Conductor(s). (1.27 cm).

• Insert the stripped conductor end into the terminal of the MPPT.

• Repeat for the Negative PV Conductor(s)

AccESS DC Grounding

To connect the Conext XW Pro or XW+ to the DC grounding system, use the ground lug at the

bottom of the Conext XW Pro or XW+ chassis. The terminal accepts wires from #14 AWG (1.63

mm) to #2 AWG (6.54 mm).

System grounding for the DC system, which typically involves bonding (connecting) the PHI 3.8

Battery negative circuit to ground, is dependent on the system configuration.
