Mounting

Requirements for Mounting

Check to make sure the installation site does not fall into any of the following conditions: If it does, then a risk assessment will be required.
Please apply safe lifting procedures when installing the battery. 2 people or mechanical aids are recommended.

• Unsafe due to assessment of occupational health safety risks.
• The ambient temperature is outside the range of tolerable ambient temperature (-20°C to +50°C, -4°F to +122°F).
• Close to flammable materials or areas where flammable materials are stored. The distance from flammable materials must be ＞1200mm.
• Prone to be damaged by seawater.
• Prone to be flooded or high levels of snowfalls.
• Close to corrosive gas or liquid (for example, locations where chemicals are processed or stored).
• Can be installed indoors or outdoors
• Exposed to direct sunlight or in an enclosure exposed to direct sunlight.
• Little or no airflow
• Mounted on a surface without suitable fire/heat rating.
• Mounted on a wall without suitable load holding capacity.
• High humidity.
• Sites are considered unsafe because of local regulations.
• Confined space without adequate airflow.
• The area is subject to sand or dust storms.
• Exposed to steam, vapor, or water.

Mounting the Battery (5kWh)

Procedure:

The battery must be mounted in an upright position with a maximal tilt angle of 15 degrees.

Space Requirement

STEP 1:
Prepare the battery box and remove the upper cover (fixed by buckle)

STEP 2:
Install the remaining bottom frame accessories on the 5 kW battery (when installing, take out the 3 rubber plugs on the bottom frame accessories, and then use 3 M5-10 stainless steel cross round head triple combination screws to fix the bottom frame on the battery, and then put back the rubber plug)

STEP 3 :
Drill holes on the wall (diameter 12mm, drilling depth≥ 65mm, unscrew 5 M8-60 expansion screws, and put the expansion head into the drilled hole
note: the height of the drill hole must be ≥200mm

STEP 4:
Install the rack with 5 M8-60 hexagon socket screws unscrewed from the expansion screws in step 3

STEP 5:
Hang the battery (note: make sure that the four hanging buckles on the side is locked, otherwise, the strength is not enough)

STEP 6:
Install the front cover

Mounting the Battery (10kWh)

Procedure:

The battery must be mounted in an upright position with a maximal tilt angle of 15 degrees.

Space Requirement

STEP 1:
Prepare the battery box and remove the upper cover (fixed by buckle)

STEP 2:
Install the remaining bottom frame accessories on the 10 kW battery (when installing, take out the 3 rubber plugs on the bottom frame accessories, and then use 3 M5-10 stainless steel cross round head triple combination screws to fix the bottom frame on the battery, and then put back the rubber plug)

STEP 3:
Drill holes on the wall (diameter 12mm, drilling depth≥ 65mm, unscrew 6 M8-60 expansion screws and put the expansion head into the drilled hole.
note: the height of the drill hole must be ≥200mm

STEP 4:
Install the rack with 6 M8-60 hexagon socket screws unscrewed from the expansion screws in step 3.

STEP 5:
Hang the battery (note: make sure that the six hanging buckles on the side is locked, otherwise, the strength is not enough)

STEP 6:
Install the front cover

• Then connect the BMS port to the inverter.

Operating of the Battery

LED Indicator

The LED indicates the operating state of the battery and also battery SOC.
Battery status can be monitored remotely via an inverter monitoring portal when installed with Soltaro Hybrid Inverters.

  means SOC= 0~25%(SOC1) SOC1 will flash when charging means SOC=25%+25%~50%(SOC2) when charging, 25% indicator light is on and SOC2 will flash

means SOC=50%+50%~75%(SOC3) when charging, 50% indicator light is on and SOC3 will flash

means SOC=75%+75%~100%(SOC4) when charging, 75% indicator light is on and SOC4 will flash

Red| • If the battery SOC is below 5%, all the lights will be red.
• When there is a service alert, all the lights will be red.

Turn On/Off the Battery

• When turning on the battery, turn on the isolator firstly, then switch on the battery;
• When turning off the battery, switch off the battery firstly, then disconnect the isolator.
