Installation
2.4 Confi gurations
The ME-SBC TM can be confi gured to accomplish battery combining in a simple,
fl exible way. There are two methods and they are as follows:
25 Amp Combiner - This confi guration is simple to install and use. The
3-wire connection system is similar to connection methods used by other
battery combining products. One of the the advantages of this controller is
the advanced combining options that are available to the installer. It is best
to choose this method when designing systems where 25 amps or less are
required. For this confi guration see Figure 2-5.
Solenoid Drive - If more battery combining capacity (or Ampacity) is required
the installer can employ any solenoid, so long as the coil of that solenoid
consumes less than 2 Amps. The source that provides power to the solenoid
must not exceed 40 VDC. This circuit switches DC Negative to the accessory
terminal block position #4 entitled Solenoid (-). For this confi guration please
see Figure 2-6.
