Scope
The manual solely covers the installation and assembly of the ALL-IN-ONE system, excluding operational
instructions for inverters and lithium batteries. Therefore, prior to installing and assembling the entire system, it is
recommended that you thoroughly review the user manuals for both inverters and lithium batteries.
Target Group
This document is intended for qualified persons and end users. Tasks that do not require any particular
qualification can also be performed by end users. Qualified persons must have the following skills:
Knowledge of how an inverter works and is operated
Training in how to deal with the dangers and risks associated with installing and using electrical
devices and installations
Training in the installation and commissioning of electrical devices and installations
Knowledge of the applicable standards and directives
Knowledge of and compliance with this document and all safety information
Safety Instructions
WARNING: This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions.
Read and keep this manual for future reference.
1. Before using the unit, read all instructions and cautionary marking on the unit, the batteries and all
appropriate sections of this manual. The company has the right not to quality assurance, if not according to
the instructions of this manual for installation and cause equipment damage.
2. All the operation and connection please professional electrical or mechanical engineer.
3. All the electrical installation must comply with the local electrical safety standards.
4. When install PV modules in the daytime, installer should cover the PV modules by opaque materials,
otherwise it will be dangerous as high terminal voltage of modules in the sunshine.
5. Do not disassemble the unit. Take it to a qualified service center when service or repair is required.
Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
6. To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wires before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off the unit will not reduce this risk.
7. For optimum operation of this inverter, please follow required spec to select appropriate cable size. It’s very
important to correctly operate this inverter.
8. Be very cautious when working with metal tools on or around batteries. A potential risk exists to drop a tool
to spark or short circuit batteries or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
9. Please strictly follow installation procedure when you want to disconnect AC or DC terminals. Please refer to
INSTALLATION section of this manual for the details.
10. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS -This inverter should be connected to a permanent grounded wiring system.
Be sure to comply with local requirements and regulation to install this inverter.
11. NEVER cause AC output and DC input short circuited. Do NOT connect to the mains when DC input short
circuits.
12. Make sure the inverter is completely assembled, before the operation.

Selection of Installation Location
Basic Requirements
When the energy storage is running, the temperature of the case and the radiator will be high. Therefore, do
not install them in a place that is easy to touch.
Do not install in areas where flammable and explosive materials are stored.
If the energy storage is installed in areas with salt damage, it will be corroded and may cause fire. Therefore,
do not install it outdoors in areas with salt damage. The areas with salt damage are defined as
the areas which are not 500m away from shore or will be affected by sea breezes. The areas affected by
the sea breezes vary depending on meteorological conditions (e.g. typhoons, monsoons) or topographical
conditions (dams, hills).
Do not install in the place where children can touch.
When handling any heavy objects, you should be prepared to bear loads to avoid being crushed or
sprained.
When handling the device by hand, wear protective gloves to avoid injury

Installation Space Requirements
When installing the energy storage, certain space shall be left around it to ensure sufficient space for
installation and heat dissipation.
System Installation
The battery should be placed in the right position first, and the installation site should be smooth and the
floor should be solid, and the device is >10cm away from the wall.
If there is more than one battery, the first battery should be placed properly before placing other batteries.

5
Installers should pay attention to the direction during installation. They shall be installed vertically and shall
not be tilted.
You can install fixing plate to more stable as the picture below if you request or move.
Install the PCS module, The PCS module should be installed at the top, not in other positions.
Electrical Connection
1.Ensure the battery is turned off. You are advised to use a meter to check.
2.Connecting Grounding Wire
a. Lock the Copper connector with the M6 screw as the table and picture below(There are red
and black copper connectors):
b. Each battery module and inverter must be connected the grounding wire;
3.Connecting Power copper connector
Use the Copper connector with the M6 screw locking(the lock torque value:2-3Nm), as the
table and picture below (There are red and black copper connectors)

System Maintenance
System Power-Off
1. After the system is powered off, the case still has residual power and heat, which may cause
electric shocks or burns. Therefore, protective gloves should be worn before operating the energy
storage 5 minutes later after system powered off. Maintenance operations on energy storage
should be performed only after ensuring that all indicator lights of the energy storage are off;
2. When the system is running, the system cannot be powered off completely when only turning off
the switch of the inverter. At this time, no maintenance operation can be performed on the system.
The switch of battery must be turned off before maintenance operation can be performed;
3. Power-off operation steps of the system please see the previous chapter;
