Figure 4.7 – SimpliPHI Battery’s Terminator Plug
The maximum number of SimpliPHI batteries that can be connected in a single system is 72, with a maximum total
connected distance of 40m (131 feet) from the first SimpliPHI battery module to the last SimpliPHI battery module.
While one 4’ CAT5 networking cable is provided per SimpliPHI battery, shorter networking cable for daisy-chaining
the batteries may be used.
Utilizing the last/closest battery to the inverter, create the closed loop communications bridge between the SimpliPHI
Battery and the Communication Input Port in compatible equipment utilizing CAT5 or greater cable. The cable length
from the last SimpliPHI Battery to the Inverter cannot exceed 40m (131 feet).
4.8 – Conduit Box Installation (Outdoor Installations)
An optional conduit box is available (purchased separately) for outdoor installations where conduit is required
for all cabling. During installation, leave more than 6 inches available between the battery and any wiring gutter
to allow a screwdriver access to the top cover plate.
Step 1: Line up the screw holes in the conduit box
with the mounting holes on the top side of the
battery case. Secure the conduit box with the
provided 10/32 pan head screws using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
Step 2: Complete all wiring connections for battery terminals and
communications cables. Use 1” conduit to route 4/0 battery cables and battery
communications cables using 1” U.S. trade size knockouts on both sides of the
conduit box.
Positive cables and negative cables are to be run in separate conduit.
It is acceptable to run communication cables in either conduit along with battery
cable.
