Safety precautions
BESS are designed and tested following relevant international safety standards. As
an electrical and electronic device, all applicable safety regulations must apply
during installation, operation, and maintenance. Incorrect use or misuse may result
in: •Injury to the life and personal safety of the operator or other people.
•Damage to the system or other property belonging to the
operator/other people.
This chapter mainly reviews various warning symbols in the operation manual
and provides safety instructions for the installation, operation, maintenance and
use of the BESS .

Our company shall not be liable for any consequence caused by any of the
following events.
•Damage caused by transportation.
•The storage conditions do not meet the requirements specified in
the manual, resulting in damage.
•Incorrect storage, installation, and use.
•Unqualified personnel install and operate the system.
•Failure to comply with the operation instructions and safety
precautions in this manual.
•Operation in extreme environments which are not covered in this manual.
•Exceed the operation range of parameters specified in the

Safety guide
After receiving this product, first, confirm the product package is intact.If any
question, contact the logistic company or local distributor immediately.
The installation and operation of the system must be carried out by
professional technicians. They have received professional training, and
thoroughly familiar with all the contents in this manual and the safety
requirements of the electrical system.
Do not carry out connection/disconnection, unpacking inspection and unit
replacement operations on the system when the power source is applied.
Before wiring and inspection, users must confirm the breakers on DC and
AC side of the inverter are disconnected and wait for at least 5 mins
Ensure there is no substantial electromagnetic interference caused by other
electronic or electrical devices around the installation site.
Do not refit the system unless authorized.
All the electrical installation must conformto local and national electrical
standards.
Ground with proper technics before the operation
Do not open the surface cover of the system unless authorized. The
electronic components inside the system are electrostatic sensitive. Do take
proper anti-electrostatic measures during authorized operation.
Do not touch the housing of the system or the radiator to avoidscald as
they may become hot during operation
The system needs to be reliably grounded.
Ensure that DC and AC side circuit breakers have been disconnected and
wait at least 5 minutes before wiring and checking.
Note: Technical personnel who can perform installation, wiring, commissioning,
maintenance, troubleshooting and replacement of the energy storage inverters must
meet the following requirements:
•Operators need professional training and should wear the recommended PPE.
•Operators must read this manual thoroughly and understand the related
safety precautions.
•Operators need to be familiar with the relevant safety regulations for
electrical systems in the region of the installation.
•Operators need to be fully aware of the composition, operating principle of the
entire energy storage system, and related standards in the region of the installation.

Transportation and installation
•Keep the package and unit complete, dry and clean during storage
and transportation.
•Please remove and install it with at least two people.
•To ensure the safe operation of the BESS and avoid personal
injury, please select proper handling and installation tools, and
take mechanical protection measures to PPE, such as wearing
steel toe capped shoes, overalls and so on.
•Only qualified electricians are allowed to install the system.
•Do not put and install the system on or close to flammableor
explosive materials.
•Do not install the system in a place where children and other people
can easily touch it.
•To avoid the risk of electric shock, please remove rings, bracelets,
and other metal jewellery on your hands before installation and
electrical connection.
•The solar cell modules exposed to the sunlight may generate a
dangerous voltage. Users must cover the cell modules with
sufficiently light shading materials before electrical connection.
•The input voltage of the system should not exceed the maximum
input voltage. Otherwise, damage may occur.
•The system is not suitable for the positive or negativegrounding
systems of solar cell modules.
•Ensure the proper grounding of the inverter.
•Ensure a reliable installation and electrical connection.

Grid-tied operation
Maintenance and replacement
•Only qualified electricians are allowed to perform the maintenance,
inspection, and component replacement of the system.
•Please contact the distributor or manufacturer for support.
•To avoid irrelevant personnel from entering the maintenance area
during maintenance, temporary warning signs must be placed to warn
non-professionals not to enter. Use a fence for isolation.
•Before carrying out any maintenance operations, all input powerto
the system must be disconnected first, and wait for at least 5
minutes until the internal parts of the system have fullydischarged.
•Please follow the electrostatic protection norms, and take correct
protective measures because there are mostly electrostatic-
sensitive circuits and devices in the system.
•Do not use parts and components not provided by our company
during maintenance.
•Restart the system after eliminating the faults and problemswhich
may affect the safety and performance of the system.
•Do not get close to or touch any charged metal conductor parts of
the Grid or running system; otherwise, electric shock or fire may
occur. Please do not ignore the warning icons and instructions with
“electric shock”.
What to do at the battery end of life
•Do not dispose of the system together with household waste. The user
is responsible and obliged to send it to a designated organization for
recycling and disposal. Seek advice from Soluna Australia,
Note
•Only qualified electricians are allowed to operate the system under
the permission of local power departments.
•All electrical connections must meet the electrical standards of the
countries/regions where the installation is happening.
