Appendix A - Optional Equipment and Accessories

Refer to Figure A1-2 to locate the holes you will use to attach the charge controller to the bracket.

Before mounting the bracket, use the provided T20 Torx drive, thread forming screws to pre-thread

your selected mounting holes. It is easier to thread the holes now rather than doing it after the

bracket and controller have been installed.
After pre-threading your particular bracket hole(s), locate the enclosure mounting holes you will

use to attach the bracket to the enclosure. Before you mount the charge controller to the attached

bracket, remove the appropriate knockout from the side of the controller and an adjacent knockout

on the side of the enclosure. This allows you to use a one inch close nipple with two locknuts to

secure the charge controller to the enclosure (in addition to the bracket), and provides a path to

run the necessary wiring between the two units. Mount the controller to the attached bracket using

the supplied hardware. Insert the close nipple through the knockouts and secure with the locknuts.

Info: It may take three locknuts on the close nipple to anchor the controller to the

enclosure. An additional locknut may be required between the enclosure and the

controller to act as a spacer. Also, a standard one inch plastic bushing should be used

on the nipple ends to protect the wire insulation as it enters/exits the nipple.
