3-Cell GX2000 trays provide UBC Zone 4 compliance
when stacked 4 modules high and UBC Zone 1 compli-
ance at 8 modules high.

Terminal Plates
Each system is supplied with a terminal plate assembly
for the positive and negative terminations. These should
always be used to provide proper connection to the oper-
ating equipment and cell terminals.
Any attempt to connect load cables directly to cell termi-
nal may compromise battery system performance as well
as the integrity of cell post seals.
5.10 Grounding
It is recommended that the modules or racks be ground-
ed in accordance with NEC and/or local codes. See
Appendix C for recommended procedure.
