2.4 Assembling the Conduit
The conduit contains the battery cables and the wiring for other optional features, such as the
tamper switch or battery heater mat. It is used to connect the stand-alone enclosure to the
power supply located in the existing enclosure.
The conduit kit, supplied with the PWE-SG, consists of a sufficient length of weather-sealed
flexible conduit and two connectors.
WARNING!
Before proceeding with the placement and wiring of the batteries and optional
features, turn off the battery breaker and remove all battery connections from
the power supply. Use insulated tools and secure all loose cable ends to
prevent inadvertent unattended connections.
