The installation company is responsible for training the installer and familiarising
them with the installation manual.
It is compulsory to comply with all applicable safety legislation for electrical work.
It is not possible to describe all conceivable hazardous situations in this manual.
Therefore, the electrical safety regulations in each country must be followed.
Opening the casing does not mean an absence of voltage inside.
There is a danger of electric shock, even if the system is disconnected from the
mains, as the batteries may still be charged.
Only qualified staff may access the inside of the system, following the instructions in
this manual.
If in doubt, we recommend putting the thermal magnetic circuit breaker in the OFF
position (see page 3533)
The basic safety regulations which are mandatory in each country are:
• Royal Decree 614/2001 in Spain.
• CEI 11-27 in Italy.
• DIN VDE 0105-100 and DIN VDE 1000-10 in Germany.

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT
3.1 Introduction
The AMPERE Tower Pro is an energy storage system based on all-in-one lithium batteries, which
includes: the batteries
1
,
2
, the inverter/charger and the EMS (smart Energy Management System).
For the system to operate with optimal performance and full functionality, it needs to be connected
to the Internet, as this allows it to obtain information about the weather forecast and variable
electricity prices (where applicable). With this information and by knowing the consumption habits of
the user, the AMPERE Tower Pro will be able to optimise the charging and discharging of the battery,
allowing it to generate maximum savings in electricity bills.
The system must also be connected to the Internet to access the Cloud platform, where data regarding
the status and operation of the AMPERE Tower Pro is recorded, so that the information can be sent to
the application (App) for mobile platforms (Android –iOS). Any alarms from the system are also logged,
enabling remote monitoring and so as to fix any problems that may arise. The monitoring App is
available for the user to download.
The AMPERE Tower Pro can be AC- and DC-coupled with renewable energy generation systems. In the
case of new photovoltaic installations, the AMPERE Tower Pro runs with its own inverter. On the other
hand, in the case of existing photovoltaic installations (retrofitting) with inverters, the system detects
them and is able to work together with them without losing any functionality. To do this it is necessary
to install an additional Energy Meter or use 2 clamps from the three-phase Energy Meter to measure
at 2 points (house entry and the exit of the existing inverter).
AMPERE Tower Pro is installed resting on the floor and screwed into the wall to prevent it from
overturning. Due to the weight of the components, two installers are required to install it. The batteries
are installed in the system once it has been screwed into the wall.
For the system to work properly, it is necessary to install an energy meter on the property’s
switchboard, so that all available consumption and generation data is recorded. An RS485-Modbus
communications cable must be installed between the meter and the AMPERE Tower Pro. The system
can either be installed in a single-phase installation or three-phase installation connected to only one
of the three phases
3
.
1
In AMPERE Tower Pro M 0.3 PV and AMPERE Tower Pro M 0.5 PV no battery will be included, with the option
to include one or two afterwards.
2
In AMPERE Tower PRO M 6.3 (PV) and AMPERE Tower PRO M 6.5 PV, only one battery will be included, with
the option to include another battery afterwards.
3
It is necessary to install a three-phase meter in this case so that the system can make adjustments based on the
power from one or all three phases, depending on the desired mode.

AMPERE TOWER PRO S / TOWER PRO M

The system has an output to power an auxiliary Backup
4
supply for critical loads in the event of a power
outage, provided that photovoltaic power is available or there is a charge in the battery.

After a power outage, the time required for having active the Backup output in an isolated mode, can be up to
180 seconds. The inverter manages this process automatically, ensuring compliance with electrical safety
standards.

This is the communication cable between the Master and Slave batteries.
The cable SCO will be sent back in the case of the AMPERE Tower Pro M when an additional battery
module is purchased for Tower Pro M 6.3 (PV) and Tower Pro M 6.5 PV, or when two battery
modules are purchased for Tower Pro M 0.3 PV and Tower Pro M 0.5 PV.

*In AMPERE Tower PRO M, the units marked with the symbol (*) will be halved (in Tower PRO M 6.3
(PV) and Tower PRO M 6.5 PV) as there will be one less battery module. In case of purchasing another
module later, the remaining screws will be included in the shipment. Tower PRO M 0.3 PV and Tower
PRO M 0.5 PV are supplied with the additional batteries.
•Connectors:
An RJ45 is supplied to connect the cable (EMT1 –Energy Meter) with the AMPERE Tower PRO system’s
RJ45 bushing connector located at the bottom (section 5.9).
This connector is connected to the cable using a crimp tool, as detailed in Annex I.

3.3 Cables (not included) necessary for installation:
These cables are not supplied with the system, the installer must provide them.
•Meter communications cable (EMT1): use the exact cable detailed below. This cable is
connected between the energy meter and the Tower PRO system.
A data cable that complies with the RS-485 Modbus standards is necessary. 3-wire half-duplex is the
mode used. The characteristics of this cable are highly important in ensuring proper operation. These
characteristics are as follows:
-Minimum pair of wires: 1.5 (1 twisted pair and one additional cable for the
earthing).
-Twisted pair shielded cable.
-Recommended cross-section 0.129 mm2(AWG28).
-Characteristic impedance: 120 Ohms.
One end is installed in the energy meter (see section 11) and the other end is installed with an RJ45
connector that is supplied with the system.
•Mains connection:
3 cables: L, N and Earth, each 6 mm2. It is recommended that these cables are in a sleeve.
•Connection to auxiliary backup supply:
3 cables: L, N and Earth, each 6 mm2. It is recommended that these cables are in a sleeve.
•RJ45 communications cable (for systems with no wireless Internet connection):
RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect the system to the Internet, sufficiently long to connect it from the
user’s router to the device.
•Photovoltaic plant (only for PV systems):
In the case of the PV version, the installer must use cables that comply with the applicable regulations
and standards to connect the photovoltaic modules to the system’s photovoltaic connection ports.
This connection is made using MC4 connectors.
NOTE: The MC4 cable connectors are not supplied with the system.
