Error and Protection Code
When the alarm code appears, the battery is still in normal working mode. When
the elements triggering the alarm are removed, the battery will automatically
resume working.
In the working mode, if alarm code 09 appears, the power button can be pressed
5 times within 10 seconds, and the BMS will force the MOS to close. At this
time, the inverter can detect the battery and charge the battery.

Installation of the battery
This manual describes the basic steps of how to install and set up.
Installation Site and Environment
The following location are not allowed for installation:
- sites with high humidity, or where there is condensation;
- sites that are salty and where humid air can penetrate;
- flooded areas.
- earthquake areas –additional security measures are required here;
- sites with an explosive atmosphere;
- sites with direct sunlight;
- sites with extreme changes in ambient temperature;
- sites with highly flammable materials or gases;
- sites with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Unpacking the box
Take out the battery from the packing box and check whether the accessories
are complete, as shown in Figure 2.
Installation and wiring
The following actions should be carried out before wiring:
- Ensure that the power button of all batteries is OFF;
- Cut off all relevant power supply.
Step 1:
As shown in Figure 3, fix the hanging ear on both sides of the battery with 4
internal Torx flat cup screws respectively.(Torque: 1.6 N.m; Tools: T20
internal torx screwdriver ).
Step 2:
As shown in Figure 4, put the battery into the cabinet, tighten the four-angle
screws (M6*12 cross head triad screw, torque: 5 N.m); and fix the copper strip
between the battery modules with 3#cross screwdriver (M8; torque: 12 N.m).
Note
- Serial connection between batteries is not allowed；
- The power line of the cross-sectional area connected to the inverter should be at least 35 mm2（About AWG 2), and temperature resistance ≥105°, pressure resistance (DC) ≥500V.
As shown in figure 5, connect the communication cable, and dial the code after connection. Switch ‘2’ and ‘4’ for the top battery. Switch ‘1’,’2′, and ‘4’ for the bottom battery, and ‘4’ for all other batteries.
Note
The communication wiring between the battery and the inverter has a special
sequence. The requirements for communication wiring connection are shown in
Figure 6.

Installation with base
Accessories need to be purchased separately）
Step 1:
As shown in Figure 7, place the battery on the base and tighten limit brackets
located at the four corners (screw: M4*10 outer hexagonal and internal torx
combination screw; torque: 1.6 N.m; 10pcs in total ).
Step 2:
As shown in Figure 7, stack the second battery neatly on the first one and
tighten the limit brackets with a T20 screwdriver(screw: M4*10 external
hexagonal box Combination screw; torque requirement: 1.6 N.m; 10pcs ).
Note
A bracket (including a left bracket and a right bracket) is used for each 2
batteries
Step3:
Refer to Step 2 and stack the battery in turn, as shown in Figure 9。
