Introduction:  

 

This Quick Installation Guide is 

for the installation 

of the Tobi Wi-Z only.

 See the Tobi Wi-Z Software 

User Guide for instructions on programming and 
calibrating the Tobi Wi-Z. 

 

The installation of the Tobi will require a means to 
calibrate the current on site. This requires a 
computer located within 100 feet of the Tobi PI Wi-
Z with the TOBi™ Wi-Z software installed and the 
Tobi Wi-Z USB coordinator.   
 
Additionally, a means to verify charger amperage 
output is needed to complete current calibration.  
This can be accomplished by using an accurate 
digital ammeter on the charger or a handheld amp 
probe.  

 

 

Required Tools

 

 

Installing the TOBi™ PI Wi-Z will require the following 
tools: 

 
 

 Portable drill 

 

 5/32” drill bit- titanium coated preferred 

 

 1/2” drill bit 

 

 5/16” nut driver or socket 
 Side cutters 

 
  

 

 
 
 
 

 

  
 

 

Hardware Installation 

 
There are 8 leads coming from the Tobi PI Wi-Z: 
  
1.  Negative Post   (

black wire

2.  Current Shunt (

brown wire

3.  Current Shunt (

orange wire

4.  Strap Thermistor (

black wires 

with ring terminal

)

 

5.  12V Post          ( 

blue wire

6.  Water Level Probe (

with lead probe 

and grommet at the end) 

7.  Cell Thermistor ( 

thick black cable

 with black 

probe and grommet at the end)   

8.  Positive Post (

red wire

)     

 
  

1.  Attach the 

BLACK

 wire to the negative post of the 

battery by first drilling a 5/32” pilot hole in the center 
of the post.  Attach the ring terminal of the lead to the 
battery terminal using one of the provided stainless 
steel screws and tighten using a 5/16” nut driver or 
socket. 

2.  Attach the 

BROWN

 wire to the positive post of the 

first cell from battery negative by first drilling a 5/32” 
pilot hole in the center of the post.  Attach the ring 
terminal of the lead to the battery terminal using one 
of the provided stainless steel screws and tighten 
using a 5/16” nut driver or socket. 

3.  Attach the 

ORANGE

 wire to the negative post of the 

second cell from battery negative on the same strap 
as the brown wire by first drilling a 5/32” pilot hole in 
the center of the post.  Attach the ring terminal of the 
lead to the battery terminal using one of the provided 
stainless steel screws and tighten using a 5/16” nut 
driver or socket.
