»Please use appropriate insulated tools for install and maintenance.
»Please make sure all batteries are switched off when connected in parallel.
»Please check the LED light sequence when the battery is switched on.
»Please make sure the BMS communication cable is connected correctly between
the battery and inverter.
»Please make sure ADDS dip switch settings are correct for single or multiple
batteries.
»Please check the inverter alarm or SOC reading to ensure there is BMS
communication with inverter.
NOTICE
1.4 Environmental Safety
»Ensure that the equipment is installed in a dry and well-ventilated environment.
»The battery installation must be away from direct sunlight and rain.
»The installation position must be away from flammable materials.
»The installation position must be away from water sources such as taps, sewer
pipes and sprinklers to prevent water seepage.
»Do not expose the equipment to flammable or explosive gases or smoke. Do
not operate the equipment in such environments.
»The operation and service life of the battery is dependent on the operating
temperature. Operate the battery at a temperature equal to or better than the
ambient temperature. The recommended operating temperature ranges from
0°C to 30°C.

»Compact
2.2 Appearance

2.3 Front Panel
1. Wall mount - Please mount bracket on the wall with six M8 bolts. Then lift the
battery and attach to the bracket.
2. Wiring block - 2P (1P positive and 1P negative) power interface, printed by “+” and
“-”, front mounted wiring method, positive and negative terminals are insulated by
thermoplastic polyester (PBT) insulating sheets.
3. Switch - BMS switch, when it is turned off, the BMS can be put to sleep and the
charge and discharge MOS transistors will be turned off at the same time; normal
operation will be restored after it is turned on.
Note: Please do not turn on the system switch when the product is not in use to
avoid self-consumption of the battery power.
Version 1:CAN2.0B/RS485
4. CAN2.0B COMM to inverter - BMS supports the functionality of CAN
communication, baud rate of 500K. CAN communication interface adopts 8P8C
network cable interface. It can communicate with the inverter or CAN TEST through
CAN interface. When the battery pack is connected, RS485 communication is
connected to the data. The status and information of the battery pack can be
uploaded to PCS through CAN communication.
