This manual is intended for qualified installers. Although detailed, it is designed as an overall guide to the installation and not to replace
the manufacturer’s manuals.
All work should be performed in compliance with local and national electrical codes. The installer should assume that voltage is present
at the battery terminals; use insulated tools and gloves. Always turn OFF equipment connected to the battery, and the Power switch on
the battery. This will isolate the battery from other electrical circuits. This must occur before performing any repairs or maintenance on
the system.
Proper wire size is essential when connecting the inverters, chargers and other equipment in the system. Crimped connections are
required when connecting to the battery terminals.
Read and follow the inverter, charger or other equipment manufacturer’s safety precautions prior to connecting the battery. All
charging equipment must be compatible with Lithium Iron Phosphate battery chemistry.
Links to the installation manuals relevant to this kit are listed at the back of this manual.

The Lithionics GTX12V315A-E2107-CS200 Victron kit is
based on a single GTX12V315A-E2107-CS200 battery
and a Victron 2000 watt inverter. The kit is limited to
300Amps DC. If a larger inverter or battery bank is
anticipated in a future expansion then one of our larger
kits with higher capacity components is recommended.

Introduction

The Lithionics GTX12V315A-E2107-CS200 Victron kit consists of a GTX12V315A-E2107-CS200 lithium battery, Victron
MultiPlus 2000 watt inverter (with remote panel), Victron Smart Solar MPPT charge controller and a Sterling Battery to
Battery charger (regenerative braking compatible). The optional deluxe kit also includes the following peripheral
components: three isolation switches, positive distribution buss with integrated fuses, main battery fuse holder and fuse,
negative distribution buss, Class T fuse holder and fuse, Sterling charger fuse holder and fuse. The Deluxe kit does not
include the PV array breaker (which is required to match the selected PV array voltage and amperage), cables, battery lugs,
and heat shrink.

The main diagram depicts the overall layout of the system. The 4/0 positive cable is connected to the MRBF fuse block via a
300A post mounted fuse and an isolation switch.
The inverter is connected to the non-fused post of the fuse block via a Class T 250A fuse and an isolation switch.
The Class T fuse block should be mounted as close as possible to the MRBF fuse block. The isolation switch gives you the
ability to isolate the inverter in the case of a malfunction, as well as disabling the inverter if work is required on the AC
system.
If the inverter is installed more than five feet from the fuse block, the wire size should be increased to 4/0 to compensate for
voltage drop. The chassis DC grounding conductor (green) should be sized not less than one size smaller than the DC
positive conductor and have a capacity such that the DC positive fuse has an amperage rating not greater than 135% of the
current rating of this ground wire.
If the 2/0 positive cable supplying the inverter shorts to ground internally, then the chassis ground cable needs to be able to
carry enough current to blow the fuse without melting and possibly causing a fire.

The inverter is controlled by the Digital Multi Control Panel. The front mounted switch is used to turn the system on, off, or
to charger only operation. The shore current limit is set by the control knob. Turning the knob to the right or left sets the
desired value. The current limit is shown on the 7-segment display.
The Victron BMV-712 monitors battery voltage, current, power, amp-hours consumed, and state of charge. Using the
VictronConnect app on a smartphone, you can connect to the BMV-712 via Bluetooth and customize settings, monitor data,
and update software.
The Victron Smart Solar MPPT charger is connected to the MRBF fuse block via a 40A fuse and an isolation switch. The PV
solar array is connected to the MPPT charger via a circuit breaker. The specified circuit breaker is only rated at 48VDC; if
your PV solar array has an open circuit voltage that is higher, then another circuit breaker with a higher voltage rating must
be substituted. The fuse and wire sizes are based on the Victron Smart Solar MPPT 100/30 charge controller. If a larger
controller is used then the fuse and wire sizes should be increased as required.
The Sterling Battery to Battery charger is connected to the MRBF fuse block via a 50A fuse (80A for the BB1260
charger).There is also a fuse at the starter battery, this fuse must be installed as close to the battery as possible.

The inverter diagram depicts a typical AC installation. The main panel has an output breaker for the
non-inverter loads. It is used to power the high-power loads that are beyond the inverter’s capacity
such as a water heater or an electric stove. The AC input must be protected with a magnetic circuit
breaker rated at 50A or less, and the cable cross-section must be sized accordingly. Make all
connections using proper crimp-on connectors (do not use twist on connectors).
The inverter has a Power Assist feature and when enabled can add up to 2kVA (2000/120=17A) to
the output during periods of peak power requirement. With a maximum input current of 50A, the
inverter can supply up to 67A (50+17).
