Section A – Base Panel Bus-Bar Installation
Step 2 — Prepare the Base Panel
Step 3 — Prepare the double-conductor bus-bar
As shown in Figure 3, this wire
assembly is a “sandwich” of three
layers:
copper conductors embedded in an
adhesive base, and a pink protective
cover. The white strip covers the bare
(non-adhesive) copper conductors and
the pink strip covers the sticky side.

On a flat and clean work surface, remove the protective film from the backside of the Base Panel (the
polycarbonate sheet that has routed out cavities) and orient it as shown in Figure 2. The two thru-
holes should be on the right side and the cavities should be facing up. You may wish to use a pen
and label the cell locations (1-12) as shown.
Check the Base Panel thoroughly. Use an X-acto knife or a small pair of needle nose pliers to remove
any flakes of polycarbonate machined residue. All the grooves and cell cavities should be completely
clear of burs or pieces of debris. Not only will your panel look better when assembled, but it is
critical that nothing prevents the cells and wiring from being fully-seated into these pockets during
installation.
Locate the double-conductor flat
wire.
