Note: For the power cables, water-proof connectors are used.
To disconnect, a special tool is required. Do not pull out directly.
Note: For communication cable use RJ45 connector and water-proof cover(M19-RJ45) matched with controller connection port.

Connection to Inverter
Follow the installation instructions of the inverter for connecting the power cables and the communication cable to the inverter. Check the compatibility of the inverter with the storage unit. Consider the voltage range of the inverter when selecting the number of energy packs.
If the storage model must be selected when configuring the inverter, select the Force H2 storage from Pylontech.
The inverters listed in the table below are compatible with the AXIstorage Li SV2.

Switch on the System
Warning: Double check all the power cables and communication cables. Make sure the voltage of the inverter/PCS is same level with the battery system before connection. Check if all the power switches are OFF.

Switch on the System Step by Step:

1. Check if all cables are connected correctly. Check if the grounding is connected.

2. If necessary, turn on the switch at the inverter`s battery side or between inverter and battery. If possible, turn on AC or PV power source to wake up the inverter.

3. Open the protection cover of the Power switch and turn on power switch.

4. Press start button for at least 5 seconds or until the buzzer rings. The battery takes 10-30s for self-checking.
   If the inverter is turned on by AC or PV source, then most inverters can setup communication with the BMS automatically. In this case, the BMS will close its relay and the system is ready for work.
   If the inverter needs battery power to turn on, then check the LED of the battery, it shall be:
   Status: Orange, solid
   SOC: blue, solid

5. In this case, press the Start button for at least 10s, till the Status lights blue and fast flashing, then the battery will black start to support the inverter and after the inverter turned on and set up communication, then BMS is ready for work.

6. If further setup of the inverter and battery is necessary, this is done via the inverter (see 3.6 Connection to inverter).

Caution: When the breaker is tripped off because of over current or short circuit, wait for 30min to turn it on again, otherwise it may cause damage to the breaker.

Warning: If there is a failure during the self-check, you must first debug the failure and then go to the next step.
If the “STATUS” lamp shows orange from the beginning, it means that there has been some failure in the battery string. The Power relays in the BMS will open, you must debug first.

Note: The LED lamp will be off after 20sec without any operation.
Caution: During first time power on, the system will require to do full charge progress for SOC calibration purpose.
Caution: it is suggested to fully charge the whole Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) first after the installation or after long time storage without charging. Depending on the SOC level, there will be a regularly (3 month) full charge requested during continuous operation as well. It will be handled automatically by the communication between BESS and the external device.

Switch off the System
When a failure occurs or before service, you must turn the battery storage system off:

1. Turn off the inverter or power supply on the DC side.
2. Turn off the switch between PCS and battery system.
3. Turn off the “Power Switch” of the BMS.

Caution: Before replacing the battery module for service, charge/discharge the existing battery modules until its voltage is like the voltage of the replacement. Otherwise, the system needs long time to do the balancing for this replaced battery module.
