• Medium flat screwdriver with approximately 3/8" (5 mm) blade width
• True RMS digital multimeter
• Computer with Ethernet port and Internet Explorer 7 or later

5.4.2 Before you begin:
WARNING!
The AMPS80 HP must have no power (utility breaker OFF and locked out) and no modules
installed prior to start-up.
1. Verify that the AMPS80 HP system is mechanically secured to the floor or other structure.
2. Verify that the contoller breakers on top of the unit are set to ON. See Figure 1
3. Verify that the clearances around the AMPS80 HP system meet the minimum requirements (see Figure
10).
4. Ohm-test the AC and DC bus bars to check for any shorts caused by cut wires, loose bolts, washers and
other conductive material. If possible do Megger testing.
5. Verify that the AMPS80 HP system is correctly and securely grounded to the building grounding system.
6. Verify that the AMPS80 HP system is correctly and securely connected to the utility and batteries:
a. For the battery connections, follow the manufacturer's recommendations and record the torques.
b. For the AC connections, torque #1 AWG - 350 kcmil wire to 375 in-lbs (42 N-m), and #6 - #2 AWG
wire to 200 in-lbs (23 N-m).
c. If rectifier wiring is installed, torque the connections to 120 in-lbs (14 N-m).
7. If this system includes rectifiers for charging, verify that all rectifier modules are removed from the rectifier
shelves.
