In every case the control box rides on one column, and the column without it is finished with the top cover from this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe datasheet lists stands of three, four or five packs. Within this kit's range, a five-pack stand appears only in the nine-pack layout, and the column carrying the control box never holds more than four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"crx-h\"\u003eJoining the two bases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the bases with a 100 mm gap between them; the manual warns that the metal fixing plates cannot be connected at any other spacing. Two base limit plates then lock the neighbouring bases together, held by the four M6 × 12 screws packed for that job, and each base sits on four of the eight levelling feet. Both bases need earthing before the packs go on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"crx-h\"\u003eCables across and around the columns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 760 mm lower communication jumper runs from COM2 on a pack in one column to COM2 on a pack in the other, and the 950 mm lower power jumper bridges the same gap from a B+ port to a B- port. Back at the control box, the 190 mm cable feeds communication from JP1 to COM1 on PACK1, the 240 mm negative lead pairs the B- terminals, and the 1000 mm positive lead returns from the B+ of the final pack in the chain. That final pack also receives the 120 Ω resistor in COM2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin a single column, the short pack-to-pack communication and power cables are supplied with each battery pack, not with this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"crx-h\"\u003eNine packs: check the upper jumpers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manual's wiring steps describe an 1100 mm upper communication cable and an 830 mm upper power cable as being for clusters of 9 to 13 packs, yet the Column 2 parts list for 5-9 packs contains only the lower pair.
