CHECK TORQUE EVERY THREE MONTHS

Dip switch configuration up to 15 modules in parallel.

From the 1st to the last module (or 15th) for a SINGLE CLUSTER in Low Voltage Configuration, the DIP switch setting of each battery must be set to “OFF” position as per the picture below:

After setting the DIP Switch, the Battery Module must be restarted for the DIP switch changes to take effect.

• Set up the DIP switches for all the modules in the cluster.
• Connect of the earth terminal between the modules and the general earth rod.
• Connect the RS485 B Port of the Master battery with the RS485A Port of the SUB-1 battery using the RJ45 cable supplied.
• Continue to connect the RS485 ports in sequence up to the last module per the illustration below.
• Pinout the inverter communication cable per inverter manufacturer and connect the cluster to the inverter using CAN PORT 2A.

Screws, cables and bus bar power connections on the battery terminal block must be installed with due diligence, and the tightening of the connection terminal must be to 9.5 nm (7 ft lb). Each terminal should be inspected, and its torque checked every three months.

• Connect the power cables as indicated below, making sure that the batteries are OFF.
• Check all the communication and power cables.
• Turn the power switch on for all the batteries in the cluster.
• Press the RUN button on the master battery for 2-3 seconds.
• Wait for all the sub modules to wake up and all the run buttons are solid green
  • The process may take up to 30-45 seconds.
• Select inverter protocol using the PC software or Bluetooth app.

Low Voltage Cluster Shutdown

• Press and hold the Master Run Button for 5-seconds.
  • The GREEN RUN light should go off immediately.
  • The GREEN RUN lights on the sub batteries will not be extinguished immediately.
• The RED FAULT lights on the sub batteries’ FRONT LED bars will start flashing after ten seconds and the GREEN RUN lights will remain on.
• Wait one minute for the RED Fault lights on the FRONT LED bars and the GREEN RUN Button lights on all sub batteries will go off. Turn OFF the POWER SWITCH of each battery.

When a master battery is offline in a fault state, or has been manually shutdown, the entire cluster will go offline until the Master comes back online.
In a parallel battery system, we strongly advise not to switch off individual sub batteries when the system is running either in Charge or Discharge Mode.
To restart the Cluster, it is mandatory to repeat the Cluster Start Up procedure. First make sure to shut down all batteries by setting the power switch to the off (0) position, then set all power switches to the ON (1) position and press the master RUN BUTTON to enable the startup process again.

High Voltage Configuration

It is mandatory to use the DD21002 HV box for this configuration.

High Voltage Set Up Preparations
It is extremely important that every module within the system has the same voltage.
The installation of an HV system requires particular attention to preparation of the individual modules that make up a cluster.
A single module with a lower voltage than few MVOLTS compared to the others could result in a performance reduction of the entire system.

IT IS MANDATORY TO PREPARE EACH CLUSTER WITH MODULES HAVING VOLTAGE 53.5 +/- 0.2VDC

DD21002 HV Box can support maximum of 16 modules (934Vdc string Voltage)

High Voltage Set Up Steps

• Turn the Solar Inverter OFF.
• Verify the HV Box main breaker is in the OFF position (located on the side).
• Arrange the cluster physically.
• Set the DIP Switches per illustration below for the modules and the HV BOX in a cluster.
• Connect the communication cable from HV BOX CAN1-B PORT to the first Battery Module CAN-A PORT.
• Connect the first battery module CAN-B PORT to the second battery module CAN-A PORT. Follow the same pattern until all the modules are connected.
• Connect ground cables between modules, HV Box and established ground per diagram below. Connect the positive terminal of the HV Box to the positive terminal of the 1st Battery Module.
• Proceed with the serial connection between all the modules using the provided string double sided fast connector (per illustration below).
• Connect the negative output of the last module to the negative input of the HV Box (per illustration below).
• Connect the CAN2-A PORT on the HV Box to the CAN PORT on the inverter.
• Connect the DC output to the Inverter (follow the inverter manual).
