3. Using Figure 3-18 on Page 3-23, place one 12 Volt battery with the battery terminals on top

and to the right. Place the second battery to the right of the first battery with the battery

terminals on top and to the left.

CAUTION: Always install the two batteries with the battery terminals pointing to the center

and in the upright position as shown in Figures 3-17 and 3-18. Failure to do so may cause a

short circuit which may damage the SP40/2 panel or batteries and cause the panel to fail to

operate in an emergency condition.

Battery Alignment and Jumper Connection

4. Connect the short jumper (included) to the back terminals (negative to positive) of the two

batteries as shown in Figure 3-18. This connects the 12VDC batteries in series in order to

produce 24VDC.

5. Place the batteries in the battery compartment with the battery terminals and jumper facing

“UP” or toward the top of the SP40/2 panel as shown in Figure 3-18. Make sure that the red

and black battery jumpers are clear of the batteries.

6. Attach the red and black battery wires (red to (+), black to (–)) to the proper battery terminals.
