1.1 System Introduction
SMILE-B3 is an AC coupled all-in-one battery energy storage system (BESS). It can help
to achieve the optimal usage of renewable energy. SMILE-B3 can control the
bi-directional flow of electric power, work under auto/manual & time-of-use (TOU)
modes, charge/discharge the battery as per customer’ s setting. Under the auto mode,
SMILE-B3 will store surplus renewable energy onto the battery and discharge battery to
supply power to local loads when renewable energy is not enough. SMILE-B3 is
equipped with 3 buttons, friendly human machine interaction system. More importantly
SMILE-B3 is stable, safe, and reliable. The standard schematic is shown in Figure 1.1:
PV PV Inverter Grid Meter Grid
PV CT Grid CT
NOTE: For the AC coupled system with PV, if only install the Grid CT, the system cannot
display the power generated by PV inverter, electric energy production etc.
If there is no PV, the schematic is as below:

DANGER
Danger to life due to high voltages of battery and electric shock.
Do not touch uninsulated cable termination.
Do not touch the DC wires.
Do not open the inverter and battery.
Do not use wet cloth to wipe the system.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries may explode!
Only qualified personnel with the corresponding skills can install and debug the system.
Before performing any work on the inverter or battery pack, please disconnect the inverter
from all voltage sources as described in this document.
WARNING
Risks of chemical burn electrolyte or toxic gases.
During standard operation, electrolyte won't leak from the battery pack as well
as form of toxic gases. However, when the battery pack is damaged or broken
down, electrolyte may leak or form toxic gases.
Do not install the system in temperature or humidity exceeding the permitted range.
Please do not use wet hands to touch the system.
Do not place heavy objects on the top of the system.
Do not damage the system using sharp objects.
Do not install or operate the system in the inflammable and explosive environment or high
humidity environment.
Do not install explosive gas and the battery pack in the area that containing highly
flammable substance or gas.
If the moisture penetrates the system (e.g. due to casing damage), please do not install or
operate the system.
When the system has connected the extended battery module, please do not move the
system.
Use strapping if necessary during transportation to prevent tipping.
SMILE-B3 transport must be conducted by the manufacturer or professionals, these
operations should be recorded and used.
Certified ABC extinguishers with minimum capacity 2 kg must be carried during transporta-
tion.
No smoking during unloading of vehicles and close to them.
If you want to replace the battery module, please pack new dangerous packaging according
to needs, pack them and let the supplier receive them.
If contacting with the electrolyte, please wash affected area with water immediately, and
consult a doctor immediately.
Risk of injury by hoisting or falling system
Inverters and batteries are heavy and can cause personal injury if the inverter or battery is
improperly lifted or dropped during transport or when attached or removed from walls.
Lifting and transporting SMILE-B3 is conducted by more than 1 person.

NOTE:
a ~ e rules are set according to AS/NZS5139. If you install the system in Australia or
New Zealand, these rules must be followed. If the installing place is not in Australia or
New Zealand, and there are no such rules in local regulations, you do not need to
follow them.
NOTE: Please check whether the parts quantity is consistent with the parts list
after taking out the equipment.
NOTE: Please ensure that the main switch and branch switch on the side are
turned off before removing the upper cover plate to avoid short circuit.
NOTE:
Use properly insulated tools to prevent accidental electric shock or short circuits. If
insulated tools are not available, cover the entire exposed metal surfaces of the
available tools, except their tips, with electrical tape.
Step 1 Take out SMILE-B3 from the packaging box, as shown in Figure 2.6

NOTE: After the wiring harness is installed, the waterproof connector must be tightened
with a torque of 3.75 Nm±10%.
NOTE: After the wiring harness is installed, the waterproof connector must be tightened
with a torque of 5 Nm±10%.
NOTE: CT communication wires can be connected directly through the gum-elastic ring
of the M32 waterproof contact, no need to make the on-site network line.
NOTE: In Australia and New Zealand, the neutral of backup and grid circuit should be
externally connected on the neutral bar.
NOTE: In Australia and New Zealand, the Type AC RCD could be installed on the backup
port of the system, so that the installation of inverter could fulfill AS/NZS 3000,
AS/NZS 4777.1 and AS/NZS 5033.
NOTE: In some places like AU and NZ, the corrugated pipes will be needed. Please
remove the original gum-elastic rings and the connectors of Backup and Grid
port waterproof contact and then replace them with the M25 pipe joints and the
gum-elastic rings in parts list.
The suggested torque for the waterproof contact is 3.75 N.m±10%.

There may be a possible explosion when batteries are heated above 150°C. When the
battery pack is burning, it leaks poisonous gases. Do not approach.
3. Emergency Procedure
When the SMILE-B3 Battery energy storage system appears to be running abnormally,
you can turn off the grid connected main switch directly feeding the BESS and turn off all
load switches within the BESS, turn off the battery switch at the same time. To prevent a
potentially fatal personal injury, if you want to repair or open the machine after the
power is switched off please measure the voltage at the input terminals with a suitably
calibrated voltage tester.
Before working on this equipment, please confirm that there is no grid electric supply to
the BESS!
The upper cover plate cannot be opened until the DC-link capacitance inside the battery
modules discharges completely about 15 minutes later.
1. Emergency Handling Plan
1. Disconnect the AC breaker.
2.Check the control power supply. If it is OK, return the power supply to find out the
reason.
3.Please record every detail related to the fault, so AlphaESS can analyse and solve the
fault. Any operation of equipment during a fault is strictly forbidden, please contact
Alpha as soon as possible.
4.As battery cell contains little Oxygen inside and all cells have got explosion-proof
valve, explosion hardly happens.
5.When the indicator light on the battery shows a red fault, check the fault type through
the communication protocol, and contact our after-sales service personnel for advice.
2. Hazards
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.
Eye contact: Rinse eyes with running water for 5 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.
3. Fire
If a fire breaks out in the place where the battery pack is installed, perform the following
countermeasures:
Fire extinguishing media
Respirator is not required during normal operations.
Use Novel 1230, FM-200 or dioxide extinguisher for battery fire.
Use an ABC fire extinguisher, if the fire is not from battery and not spread to it yet.
Fire fighting instructions
1.If fire occurs when charging batteries, if it is safe to do so, disconnect the battery pack
circuit breaker to shut off the power to charge.
2.If the battery pack is not on fire yet, extinguish the fire before the battery pack catches
fire.
3. If the battery pack is on fire, do not try to extinguish but evacuate people immediately.
Please install the WiFi module. Download and install the APP by scanning the QR code
(Figure 4.1), and directly connect to SMILE-B3 by WiFi module.
Effective ways to deal with accidents
On land: Place damaged battery into a segregated place and call local fire department
or service engineer.
In water: Stay out of the water and don’t touch anything if any part of the battery,
inverter, or wiring is submerged.
Do not use submerged battery again and contact the service engineer
