Cable through wall
AX18-12-HC
Indoor 120Vac
outlet
• Indoors to Outdoors
• Cable length under 100’
• UPS required
Less than 10' of cable
(+/- and Alarms)
(See NOTE 2)
NOTE:
1. Use 14AWG (preferred) to 16AWG (minimum) for the cabling between the Home Converter/Power
Converter and battery housing. Use only cable rated for the outdoor environment. The maximum cable
length is determined by the maximum output voltage of the Power Converter/Home Converter minus the
voltage drop required by the Battery Module to properly charge the battery.
2. Use 18AWG (minimum) stranded cable for the +/- connections, and 18AWG to 22AWG cable for the
alarm connections between the battery housing and the NID/NIU/ONT. Use only cable rated for the
outdoor environment. The maximum cable length is calculated such that the minimum input voltage of the
ONT used in the confi guration is less than or equal to the lowest battery voltage (just above battery cutoff)
minus the voltage drop of the cable.
