Site Preparation
n The SymmetraTM pallets must be moved to the in-
stallation site using a pallet jack.
n The installation site must meet specific environ-
mental and structural requirements.
n The SymmetraTM must be hardwired. Wiring for
the system includes input wiring from the build-
ing service to the SymmetraTM, output wiring from
the SymmetraTM to the load equipment, and the
installation of an optional remote emergency
power off (REPO) switch. All electrical connec-
tions must be made by a certified electrician.
Unpacking
The SymmetraTM will arrive at the loading dock bolted
to a custom pallet. (Battery and power modules are
stacked on an additional pallet.) A pallet jack must
be used to position these pallets as near as possible to

the installation site. A ramp is shipped with the frame,
and is used to roll the frame from the pallet onto the
floor. (The frame is equipped with casters.) The il-
lustration below details the procedure for unpacking
the SymmetraTM frame from the custom pallet. These
steps are as follows:
1. Remove the grill covers from the SymmetraTM
frame.
2. Position the ramp onto the pallet - insert the po-
sitioning bolt on the ramp into the hole on the
pallet.
3. Loosen the two pallet restraint brackets at the
rear of the frame.
4. Remove the pallet restraint beam at the front of
the frame.
5. Two people roll the frame onto the floor.

Storage of Modules
The battery modules must be temporarily stored until
the frame is permanently installed. To preserve bat-
tery life, always store batteries in a cool, dry place.
Note: Installing battery modules in a SymmetraTM that
is not powered will discharge the batteries and could
damage them permanently. Do not install battery
modules into the SymmetraTM frame until the system
is connected to input power.

SymmetraTM Wiring
n All power and control wiring must be in-
stalled by a qualified electrician and must
comply with applicable local and country
codes.
n Use flexible metal conduit for ease of ser-
vice and maintenance of the system.
Input Wiring
n Single phase 220V, 230V, or 240V, 50Hz or 60Hz
incoming AC mains (utility) power source.
n Incoming power is wired directly to a terminal
block inside the Power Array.
n A dedicated power feed, within flexible metal
conduit is recommended.
SYMINIFI Input Wiring:
n Input Full Load Amperage ...... 35 Amp

Output Wiring
Wiring Preparation
n Single phase power is distributed to load equip-
ment via hardwired connections and by plugging
the load equipment into the convenience power
panel at the rear of the frame.
n With the PowerView user interface, the Power
Array can be configured to deliver either 220V,
230V, or 240V.

REPO Switch Wiring
The SymmetraTM Power Array can be connected to
either a dry contact or a 24Vdc remote emergency
power off (REPO) switch. The wiring terminal con-
nections for the REPO are physically isolated from
the primary circuitry of the Power Array.
REPO Cable Specifications
Use one of the following cable types to connect the
SymmetraTM to the REPO switch:
CL2 - Class 2 cable for general purpose use; or
CL2P - Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and
other space used for environmental air; or
CL2R - Riser cable for use in a vertical run in a shaft
or from floor to floor; or
CL2X - Limited Use cable for use in dwellings and
for use in raceway.
For installation in Canada, the cable should be CSA
Certified, type ELC (Extra-Low-Voltage Control
Cable).
