1. Introduction
1.1 System Introduction
AlphaESS SMILE5 can be applied in DC-coupled systems (mostly new installation), AC-
coupled systems (mostly retrofit) and Hybrid-coupled systems (mostly retrofit, and
PV capacity-increase), as the following scheme:
Figure 1. DC/AC/Hybrid Storage System - Scheme
Caution:
For the AC-coupled system, unlike DC, two power meters are to be mounted.
1.2 General Precautions
DANGER
Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array, battery and electric shock.
When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous DC voltage which will
be present in the DC conductors and the live components of the inverter. Touching
the DC conductors or the live components can lead to lethal electric shocks. If you
disconnect the DC connectors from the system under load, an electric arc may
occur leading to electric shock and burns.
Do not touch uninsulated cable ends.
Do not touch the DC conductors.
Do not open the inverter and battery.
Do not wipe the system with damp cloth.
Have the system installed and commissioned by qualified people with the
appropriate skills only.
Prior to performing any work on the inverter or the battery pack, disconnect
the inverter from all voltage sources as described in this document.

WARNING
Risk of chemical burns from electrolyte or toxic gases.
During standard operation, no electrolyte shall leak from the battery pack and no
toxic gases shall form. Despite careful construction, if the Battery Pack is damaged
or a fault occurs, it is possible that electrolyte may be leaked or toxic gases formed.
Do not install the system in any environment of temperature below -10°C
or over 50°C and in which humidity is over 85%.
Do not touch the system with wet hands.
Do not put any heavy objects on top of the system.
Do not damage the system with sharp objects.
Do not install or operate the system in potentially explosive atmospheres or
areas of high humidity.
Do not mount the inverter and the battery pack in areas containing highly
flammable materials or gases.
If moisture has penetrated the system (e.g. due to a damaged enclosure),
do not install or operate the system.
Do not move the system when it is already connected with battery modules.
Secure the system to prevent tipping with restraining straps in your vehicle.
The transportation of AlphaESS Storion SMILE5 must be made by the
manufacturer or an instructed personal. These instructions shall be
recorded and repeated.
A certified ABC fire extinguisher with minimum capacity of 2kg must be
carried along when transporting.
It is totally prohibited to smoke in the vehicle as well as close to the vehicle
when loading and unloading.
For the exchange of a battery module, please request for new hazardous
goods packaging if needed, pack it and let it be picked up by the suppliers.
In case of contact with electrolyte, rinse the affected areas immediately with
water and consult a doctor without delay.
CAUTION
Risk of injury through lifting or dropping the system.
The inverter and battery are heavy. There is risk of injury if the inverter or battery
is lifted incorrectly or dropped during transport or when attaching to or removing
from the wall.
Lifting and transporting the inverter and battery must be carried out by
more than 2 people.
