• The green light (RUN) indicates the system is running properly.
• The red alarm light (ALARM) will turn on if the battery experiences one of those scenarios: High voltage (HV); Low voltage (LV); HT (High Temperature): LT (Low
• Temperature); Open Circuit (OC) and Short Circuit (SC).

KEY POINTS SUMMARY

1. Each Fortress Lithium Battery contains circuitry that protects the Lithium Ferro Phosphate cells from overcharging, over-discharging, and excessive load amperage. If the values specified are exceeded, the battery will enter a protective shut downstate. In some cases, this may result in the need to re-initialize an inverter charger or other pieces of equipment in the installation. In other cases, the inverter’s system settings may be saved within the inverter memory storage and will not need to be reset. This is not an absolute standard but is common among most inverter chargers. Check your inverter manufacturer specifications.
2. If the battery enters a self-protective mode, negligible voltage readings will be present until the unit is reset. In some instances, after a prolonged shutdown, a charge might need to be manually applied to the energy storage bank. Should this occur, please contact Fortress Power for technical support. Fortress Lithium Batteries are designed to remain robust and safe under most circumstances.
3. Although each Fortress Lithium Battery contains circuitry that protects the Lithium Ferro Phosphate cells from overcharging, over-discharging, and excessive load amperage, Fortress Lithium Batteries must always be installed with a charge controller and the appropriate settings to protect the batteries from open PV and other high voltage sources. Fortress Lithium Batteries alone will not protect from extreme electrical phenomena.
4. GRID TIED SYSTEMS  Once the Fortress Lithium Battery has been installed, turn on the entire system to test. Once testing has been completed, please disconnect the batteries from the load center until your local Utility Inspector is ready to turn on the entire system. The charge controllers and inverter monitoring systems can drain the Fortress Lithium Batteries over an extended period when the entire system is not fully operational due to the electrical draw of the system components.
5. OFF-GRID SYSTEMS  Do not connect the Fortress Lithium Batteries until the entire system is ready to turn on and is fully operational.
6. See Charge Controller Settings in the Appendix of this manual. Fortress Lithium Batteries are compatible with almost all Inverter Chargers and Charge Controllers. Please contact Fortress Power to learn the recommended settings for any device not explicitly covered in this manual.

FINAL CONNECTION OF THE INSTALLATION

Final installation and operation guidelines will be dictated by your Electrician and Installer based on the overall properties of and procedures for the equipment in your installation and any code requirements that apply to your region. Fortress Power technicians and sales staff are available to provide any additional information on the Fortress Lithium Batteries as needed. Please be aware of the potential electrical hazards before interacting with any and all electrical or mechanical devices. Please take all necessary safety precautions in your projects and installations.

TURN OFF THE UNIT

If you need to turn off the unit, please push the button for 8 seconds.

RETROFITTING

Retrofit Fortress Lithium batteries to an existing system are not recommended. Like all other batteries, Fortress Lithium Battery’s open voltage will diminish during the operation. Parallel batteries with different open voltage may cause reverse currents, which could damage the batteries
