Any improper operation may lead to electrical shocks, burns and other
personal injury or equipment damage. Please read the important safety
information and strictly abide by all the safety rules of this instruction
manual.
The following is a list of the safety rules to be followed in order to op-
erate this product. Please refer to the warning note in the appropriate
section for the safety instructions in the use and maintenance process.
For maximum battery performance and longevity, we recommend install-
ing the battery in a temperature-controlled environment.
Do not touch the live parts of the equipment without confirming the volt-
age and temperature of the equipment.
Only professional electricians or professionally qualied personnel can
install, operate, overhaul, and maintain the equipment. During the main-
tenance or overhaul, there must be at least two people equipped with ap-
propriate PPE (personal protective equipment) to include: safety shoes,
protective glasses, insulated gloves and electrically insulated tools. The
personnel must also be trained in how to recognize electrical hazards
and how to mitigate them.
Warning: Violation of the following provisions may result in personal
injury or equipment damage.
When moving, transporting and placing equipment, the equipment must
be placed horizontally. This will prevent the battery from tipping over.
The battery should be installed on a re-retardant material. Do not place
ammable materials inside or on top of the battery enclosure.
Do not install the battery on a plywood sheet.
Do not leave cloth, paper, metal shavings, tools or other foreign objects
inside the battery enclosure.
1. Safety Notices
3

www.ironedison.com
In non-emergency cases, do not stop the operation of the monitoring
system by connecting and disconnecting input power cables.
The battery enclosure can be cleaned using a soft cloth.
To ensure proper operation over the life of the battery, use the monitoring
software to check that each battery is operating properly. No regular
maintenance needs to be performed inside the enclosure.
Electrostatic Warning
Any personnel who comes into contact with the circuit boards or internal
components needs to wear a good anti-static grounding bracelet. In the
event of replacing circuit boards, please hold the edge in order to prevent
damage from static electricity. In addition, static electricity can be elimi-
nated by contacting electrically conductive bodies such as metal sheets.
Reminders/Notications
When debugging the battery and solar system, please pay attention to
the messages displayed on the touch screen.
This Lithium Iron Phosphate battery system is integrated with an ad-
vanced Battery Management System (BMS) which includes charge/
discharge management, thermal management, communication man-
agement, balance management, and data management. This system
also allows for remote battery performance monitoring, remote device
management and system maintenance.
The product features a long lasting lithium iron phosphate battery chem-
istry. This high eciency system is compact in size, comparably light
weight, and provides stable long-term performance. The product is safe
and eco-friendly, while also being adaptable and usable in high altitude
environments.

3.1 Storage
The battery should be stored in a dry, clean, shaded and well-ven-
tilated area.
The battery needs to be charged to at least 70% before storing it.
Store the battery modules for no longer than 6 months.
Keep the battery from dropping, turning over and any other seri-
ous impact.
Keep away from children and pets.
3.2 Transport
Lithium-ion batteries are hazardous goods. Therefore the fol-
lowing points must be observed when transporting the battery
modules:
• Observe the general transport regulations based on the
mode of transport as well as all legal regulations for haz-
ardous goods.
• Keep batteries face up and do not allow them to fall over.
Batteries in their boxes should not be stacked more than
three tall.
• Check the battery immediately after transport.
•If the user nds shell deformation on the battery pack, do
not use it and immediately contact Iron Edison.

Attention
The battery should be installed and ventilated in a cool, dry
place. Ensure the battery is installed away from any heat source
or direct sunlight.
For maximum battery performance and longevity, we highly
recommend installing the battery in a temperature-controlled
environment. (Air conditioned spaces for warm climates and
heated spaces for cold climates)
Failure to follow these instructions may result in the battery
cutting off power output or system failure due to over or under
temperature.
Keep the battery away from any strong electromagnetic elds to
prevent problems with either the battery communication and/or
the internal power supply. Common sources of electromagnetic
interference are inverters, chargers, and transformers.
Keep away from ammable and explosive materials.

5.2.4 Wiring Diagram
Notes:
1. Use at least AWG 1/0 cable as the battery output power wire.
2. Each battery should connect to the inverter (or combiner bus-bar)
with identical cable length.
3. Insert the 120 ohm resistor inside the RJ45 connector into the
batteries at either end of the string of batteries. For example, with
with four batteries, insert the resistor into battery #1 and battery
#4. Inserting a resistor in the middle of a string of batteries may
lead to battery communication failure and the system may stop
working.

6.1 Operation
• Start-up: Close the inverter’s main DC breaker. Close DC
breaker for batteries. Press the power button until the RUN
LED flashes (at least 2 seconds). Wait 5 seconds for the
pre-charge function to initiate. Press the inverter’s power
button to start the inverter.
• Operating: If the battery is operating without any alarms, the
RUN green LED light will be ON and the battery will maintain
output. In operating mode, the LCD screen will be illuminat-
ed for 1 minute when the user presses the power button
(short press 1 second).
• Alarm: When the battery is in the alarm mode (protected),
the related warning signs on the LCD screen will be ON and
the red ALARM LED light will be ON.
• Turn-Off: Press the power button for 3 seconds until the
LCD screen and SOC LEDbar turns off. Then the battery
output will turn off.
