    foreign objects from entering the module to avoid fire or electric
    shock.

  • Disassembly Prohibition: Do not disassemble
    the unit as it may increase the risk of fire or electric
    shock.

  • Ventilation and Placement: Ensure proper
    ventilation for the system and stable placement on a level
    surface.

  • Transportation Safety: Follow installation
    instructions carefully to prevent injuries during
    transportation.

  • Rack Stability: Secure all racks firmly to the
    floor to prevent equipment falls.

  • Cable Management: Organize and secure all
    cables appropriately to prevent tripping hazards.

  • Malfunction Response: Turn off the power
    supply immediately in case of malfunction to prevent further
    issues.

  • Prohibited Use: Do not stand on or place
    objects on the unit or use it as a stool or table.

  • Safe Disposal: Dispose of the unit properly
    according to relevant regulations.

  • Liquid Leakage: Take precautions if liquid
    leaks from the module to avoid skin or eye contact.

Safety Precautions
Safety Warning
Connection Safety: Ensure all power and communication cables are securely and correctly connected to prevent damage or fire hazards. Improper connections may deactivate the system.
Environmental Considerations: Avoid installing the system in enclosed areas, direct sunlight, or close proximity to heaters to prevent fire or equipment damage. Additionally, keep the system away from areas with excessive oil, smoke, steam, moisture, or dust to minimize the risk of fire or electric shock.
Personal Protective Equipment: Always wear insulating gloves and protective eyewear during installation to safeguard against electric shock or injury
Water and Foreign Objects: Prevent water and foreign objects from entering the module to avoid fire or electric shock. If infiltration occurs, immediately turn off the power supply.
Disassembly Prohibition: Do not disassemble the unit as this increases the risk of fire or electric shock There are no serviceable parts inside the unit Access will void the warranty
Ventilation and Placement: Ensure adequate ventilation for the system and avoid covering any ventilation openings Install the system on a stable, level surface and refrain from placing it on unstable surfaces or covering vents
Transportation Safety: Utilize designated packaging materials and follow installation instructions carefully to prevent injuries during transportation
Rack Stability: Secure all racks firmly to the floor to prevent injuries caused by falling equipment. Accessory Installation: Ensure proper installation of any additional
equipment or accessories to prevent falls and potential injuries

Cable Management: Organize and secure all cables appropriately to prevent tripping hazards or equipment falls. Malfunction Response: In the event of a malfunction, turn off the
power supply immediately to prevent further issues Prohibited Use: Do not stand on or place objects on the unit or use it as a stool or table Safe Disposal. Dispose of the unit properly according to relevant regulations Liquid Leakage: If liquid leaks from the module, take precautions to avoid skin or eye
contact Seek medical attention if necessary and contact customer service
Installation Location
Keep Away from Heat and Fire: Due to the LiFePO4 battery chemistry, DO NOT install the Dura-5 near heat sources, open flames, or flammable materials.
Avoid Moisture and Water: The IP20 rating signifies the unit is not water- resistant. DO NOT install the Dura-5 outdoors, in damp locations, or near sources of water
Well-Ventilated Space: Ensure the installation location provides adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup around the unit
Usage Precautions
In case of any abnormalities such as unusual sounds, odors, smoke, water ingress, physical damage, or a drop, promptly turn off the system and contact customer service.
Operate the product according to controller signals, and refrain from puncturing it Call customer services if the module experiences a significantly faster than normal
discharge rate at room temperature, even when fully charged

Recommended Operating Temperature: -20°C to 55°C (-4°F to 131°F) High- Temperature Usage: While occasional use in higher temperatures is permissible,
prolonged exposure to temperatures above 45°C (113°F) can significantly accelerate battery degradation This condition is not covered under the Product warranty For more detailed information, please refer to the Dura-5 Consumer Warranty document Note: For optimal performance, extended battery life, and safety, we strongly recommend installing the Dura-5 indoors, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location away from heat sources, open flames, water, and flammable materials
Prohibited Actions
Disassembling or modifying the product is strictly prohibited, as it may compromise internal protective functions and lead to abnormal operation, heat generation, gas emission, or fire and will void the warranty.
Do not touch the output terminal except for installation purposes Exposing the system to fire, heat, open flames, or submerging it in liquid is strictly forbidden. Avoid applying strong shocks, crushing, or dropping the product This system is not intended for medical purposes, and foreign objects must not be inserted into it Do not connect devices exceeding the specified operating voltage and current range. Unplugging the power connector from the POWER CONNECTOR
terminal while the power is on is strictly prohibited

Installation steps
(If applicable): If a DC isolator switch is present, ensure it is turned to the OFF position before proceeding Power down the Battery: Locate the battery’s power button and press it
firmly to turn the battery OFF and turn off its own breaker. If stacking, use a block to raise off floor at least 100mm recommended. If mounting on a wall, ensure the battery is accessible for the user and qualified personnel. Battery to battery power cables to be cut to size using 6mm lugs and heatshrink. Connect the Negative Terminal: Using an appropriate power cable, connect the negative
terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of the charger or inverter Ensure all external-facing (exposed) terminals are covered for safety (refer to Figure 6 on page 12) Ensure a secure and tight connection using 6mm lugs and heatshrink Connect the Positive Terminal: Using an appropriate power cable, connect the
positive terminal of the battery to the positive terminal of the charger or inverter Double-check that both connections are secure and properly tightened
