Note:
The battery is not allowed

installation.
To ensure system security,
do not forget to install
ground wire.
For the power lines conne-
cted to PCS, the positive
power line is drawn from
the top battery module,
and the negative power
line is drawn from the
bottom battery module .
The switch connect PCS
to ARK 2.5L-A1,we recom-
mend the use of molded
case circuit breaker with
r a t e d w o r king v olta g e
greater than 500V and
r a t e d w o r k i n g cu r r e n t
greater than 125A.

1.Before connecting the power wiring
harness, please pay attention to the
positive and negative terminals, the red
terminals are connected to the positive
terminals and the black terminals to the
negative terminals.
2.The PCS communication terminal is
used to communicate to the PCS. Link-in
terminals are used for signal inlet of
multiple parallel battery modules. Link-out
terminals are used for signal output of
multiple parallel battery modules. When stacked in two lines,you need to buy
the accessory of wires connecting two
stacks of battery systems. The connection
mode is shown in the fig 9.
