3.2 Wiring Zones
The 600V solar circuits must be separated from the low voltage battery circuits and commu-
nication wiring within the wiring box. Figure 3-1 below shows the high voltage and low voltage
zones (shaded) within the wiring box. There is overlap in the zones as pictured because the re-
movable wiring divider separates the high voltage solar wiring and low voltage wiring. Solar high
voltage wiring should be routed below the removable wiring divider.The yellow Solar Terminal
Bridgemustbeproperlyttedinplacebeforemakingthesolarpowerterminalconnections.
The battery wiring and all communication cables must only be routed within the low voltage
wiring zone. After the solar wiring is installed, the wiring divider should be secured in place, and
the battery cables routed above the divider. Detailed installation steps are provided in the follow-
ing sections.
