Installation

Package Items

Unpacking and check the Packing List

1. For battery module package:
   Two power cables and one communication cable for each battery package:
   Grounding cable :

2. For battery system connects to inverter:
   Two long power cables (current capacity 120A) and one communication cable for each energy storage system:
   NOTE:
   These three long cables are NOT in battery package, they are in another extra small cable box.If there is anything missed please contact dealer.

Installation Location

Make sure that the installation location meets the following conditions:

• The area is completely water proof.
• The floor is flat and level.
• There are no flammable or explosive materials.
• The ambient temperature is within the range from 0°C to 50°C.
• The temperature and humidity is maintained at a constant level.
• There is minimal dust and dirt in the area.

CAUTION

If the ambient temperature is outside the operating range, the battery pack stops operating to protect itself. The optimal temperature range for the battery pack to operate is 0°C to 50°C. Frequent exposure to harsh temperatures may deteriorate the performance and life of the battery pack.
Installation
Put battery modules into cabinet and connect the cables:

1. Put the battery into the cabinet;
2. Drive the 4pcsscrews;
3. Connect the cables between battery modules
4. Connect the cables to inverter

Power On
Double check all the power cable and communication cable.

1. Switch power on
2. Switch on all the battery modules and the green LED light below will be on:
3. Press the red button of master battery to power on, all the battery LED light will be on one by one from the Master battery:If all the battery LED lights on, and then off, which means the battery system is good and working.

C. Installation with bracket:

Aim at the 4 pare of Location Pin and Location Hole, stack the batteries together. And hasp the 4 agraffes together.

Maximum 4 batteries can be athwart stacked: One or two batteries can be sidelong stacked:

Cables connection and batteries system start are same as cabinet installation.

Trouble Shooting Steps

Problem determination based on:

1. Whether the battery can be turned on.
2. If the battery is turned on, check the red light is off, flashing or lighting;
3. If the red light is off, check whether the battery can be charged/discharged.

Preliminary determination steps:

1. Battery cannot be turned on, switch on the lights are all no lighting or flashing.
   If the battery external switch is ON, the RUN light is flashing, and the external power supply voltage is 48V or more, the battery still unable to turn on, please contact distributor.

2. The battery can be turned on, but red light is lighting, and cannot be charged or discharged, if the red light is lighting, that means system is abnormal, please check values as following:

   • a) Temperature: Above 50c or under -10c, the battery could not work.
     Solution: to move battery to the normal operating temperature range between -10c and 50c

   • b) Current: If current is larger than 100A, battery protection will turn on.
     Solution: Check whether current is too large or not, if it is, to change the settings on power supply side.

   • c) High Voltage: If charging voltage above 54V, battery protection will turn on.
     Solution: Check whether voltage is too high or not, if it is, to change the settings on power supply side.

   • d) Low Voltage: When the battery discharges to 44.5V or less, battery protection will turn on.
     Solution: Charge the battery for some time, the red light will turn off.

Excluding the four points above, if the faulty is still cannot be located, turn off battery and repair.

The battery cannot be charged or discharged

1. Cannot be charged:
   Disconnect the power cables, measure voltage on power side, if the voltage is 53~54V, restart the battery, connect the power cable and try again, if still not work, turn off battery and contact distributor.

2. Unable to discharge:
   Disconnect the power cables and measure voltage on battery side, if it is under 44.5V, please charge the battery; if voltage is above 48V and still cannot discharge, turn off battery and contact distributor.

Emergency Situations

1. Leaking Batteries
   If the battery pack leaks electrolyte, avoid contact with the leaking liquid or gas. If one is exposed to the leaked substance, immediately perform the actions described below. Inhalation: Evacuate the contaminated area, and seek medical attention.
   Contact with eyes: Rinse eyes with flowing water for 15 minutes, and seek medical attention. Contact with skin: Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water, and seek medical attention.
   Ingestion: Induce vomiting, and seek medical attention.

2. Fire
   NO WATER! Only dry powder fire extinguisher can be used; if possible, move the battery pack to a safe area before it catches fire.

3. Wet Batteries
   If the battery pack is wet or submerged in water, do not let people access it, and then contact the distributor or an authorized dealer for technical support.

4. Damaged Batteries
   Damaged batteries are dangerous and must be handled with the utmost care. They are not fit for use and may pose a danger to people or property. If the battery pack seems to be damaged, pack it in its original container, and then return it to distributor or an authorized dealer.
   NOTE: Damaged batteries may leak electrolyte or produce flammable gas. If such damage occurs, please contact PlusEnergy: servicio@wccsolar.es
