Phocos Any-Grid Series Service manual

Any-Grid™ use with Lithium battery models:
Pylontech US2000, US3000, Phantom-S,
Force L1 and Force L2
Applicable for Any-Grid™ PSW-H-5kW-230/48V
Recommended battery settings guide

1.0 Introduction
This guide outlines the recommended settings and establishing communication for operation of one or more Any-
Grid™ PSW-H-5kW-230/48V hybrid inverter chargers with Pylontech US2000, US3000, Phantom-S, Force L1 and Force
L2 battery racks, referred to in this guide as “battery racks”.
The Any-Grid must be installed according to the Any-Grid “User and Installation Manual” included with every Any-
Grid unit and available online at www.phocos.com. The battery terminals of the Any-Grid must be connected to the
battery racks according to the Pylontech installation manual at the appropriate step mentioned in the chapter “5.0
Battery Settings and Communication Cable Installation” of this manual.
WARNING: Be sure to read and respect the warnings in the installation manuals of the Any-Grid, the battery
racks and any other connected equipment. The installation must be conducted by a trained professional.
2.0 Requirements
The following is required to proceed with this guide:
 Any-Grid PSW-H-5KW-230/48V
 Battery communication cable: PSW-H-BAT-CABLE-PYLON-2, or alternatively PSW-H-BAT-CABLE-PYLON
This cable can be purchased separately from your Phocos dealer.
WARNING: Do not use the inverter cable included with your Pylontech batteries.
 Pylontech battery rack(s)
3.0 System Overview
4.0 Battery Sizing
To maintain the full battery warranty, each battery rack should be sized not to exceed 25 Adc (37 Adc for the US3000,
Force L1 and Force L2) continuous current and 100 Adc peak (105 Adc for the Force L1/L2). It is thus necessary to use
at least 5 battery racks in parallel (4 for the US3000, Force L1/L2) to deliver both sufficient continuous current and
peak current for a single PSW-H-5KW-230/48V at full power. When using multiple Any-Grid units, be sure to have at
least 5 battery racks (4 for the US3000, Force L1/L2) per Any-Grid to sustain the required currents. Using less batteries
per inverter may void your Pylontech battery warranty.
The batteries must be wired in parallel to form a single large battery bank when using multiple Any-Grids. All Any-
Grids must be connected to a single battery array made up of a maximum of two clusters / groups of battery racks.
The maximum number of battery racks per group is defined in the battery manual.

5.0 Battery Settings and Communication Cable Installation
CAUTION: Before connecting the battery racks to the Any-Grid(s), please follow the installation instructions in
this chapter step by step. The battery, AC input source, AC output loads and PV input must remain
disconnected until instructed otherwise.
The battery settings in this chapter are recommendations only. They are intended to keep the batteries within their
operational limits (maximum voltage, maximum current, etc). These settings can be adjusted to optimize the
performance of your particular system, but must be kept within the limits of the battery specifications.
1. Purchase the PSW-H-BAT-CABLE-PYLON-2 or PSW-H-BAT-CABLE-PYLON from a Phocos dealer. This cable is
designed specifically for connecting the Any-Grid PSW-H to Pylontech battery racks.
2. Ensure the battery racks are turned off.
3.
Dip Switches location
Locate the four Dip switches as shown above at position ➊ (position may vary on different battery rack
models). Each switch can be set ON in the top position or OFF in the bottom position. Set the Dip switches as
follows, depending on the number of battery clusters / groups:
Dip 1 Dip 2 Dip 3 Dip 4 Group address
ON
RS-485 baud
rate = 9600
OFF OFF OFF
Single group only. The master battery rack must have
this setting. Slave battery racks should have all Dip
switches set to OFF.
ON OFF OFF
Two-group configuration. The master battery rack in
the first group must have this setting. Slave battery
racks should have all Dip switches set to OFF.
OFF ON OFF
Two-group configuration. The master battery rack in
the second group must have this setting. Slave
battery racks should have all Dip switches set to OFF.
4. Ensure the battery racks are still turned off. Connect the Any-Grid(s) to the battery power (positive and
negative) terminals with the correct polarity.
5. If you are using the PSW-H-BAT-CABLE-PYLON-2 cable, it is marked with a “PYLON” label on one of the two
sides:
Connect this side to the master battery rack’s “RS485” port and the other side into the Any-Grid display
panel’s “BMS” port
If instead you are using the PSW-H-BAT-CABLE-PYLON, it is not labelled. For this cable it does not matter
which orientation you choose, as it functions in both orientations:

Any-Grid Master Battery Rack
For systems with multiple Any-Grids, this connection (marked green) can be made with any of the inverters,
but only a single unit. Remember, all Any-Grids in a synchronised system must be connected to a single
battery bank as shown here for a system with 4 Any-Grids in parallel:
6. Ensure the battery racks are wired as outlined in the Pylontech battery manual. Turn on each of the battery
racks with the power button and ensure the LED near the power button is green for all battery racks:
7. To supply the Any-Grid(s) with power, press the red START / SW on the master battery rack for more than 3
seconds.
8. Ensure the “ON/OFF” load power button of the Any-Grid(s) is in the ON position (depressed), but no loads are
connected:

The Any-grid(s) should now be running, the display(s) on.
9. Apply the following settings on the Any-Grid(s). These settings refer to the Any-Grid manual, chapter
Operation  Device Operation Settings  Settings menus.
Start by setting changing the battery type to “User defined” in order to be able to change the remaining
values:
 Battery type
Menu 05: User defined
Now continue with these settings:
 Maximum total battery charging current
Menu 02: 80A
 Voltage set-point to switch from Off-Grid mode to Grid mode when “SBU priority” or “Solar / PV first” is
selected in settings menu 01
Menu 12: 48 Vdc or higher
 Voltage set-point to switch from Grid mode to Off-Grid mode when selecting “SBU priority” or “Solar / PV
first” in settings menu 01
Menu 13: 52 Vdc or lower
 Boost battery charging voltage
Menu 26: 53.0 Vdc
 Floating battery charging voltage
Menu 27: 52.0 Vdc
 Low voltage disconnect
Menu 29: 47.0 Vdc
 Boost battery charging duration
Menu 32: 60 min
 Battery equalization
Menu 33: Disabled
 Maximum discharging current
Menu 41: Disabled
 Note: This setting must be set last, as some other settings mentioned here may not be modifiable
once the battery type is set to “Pylontech battery”. If you wish to modify them later, temporarily
set the battery type to “User defined”, change the settings as necessary, and then set the battery
type back to “Pylontech battery”.

10. Once the settings have been applied, exit the settings menu by pressing to return to the main view.
11. Check that the battery icon outline is flashing permanently to indicate the communication
connection between the Any-Grid(s) and battery racks is successfully established. This may take a few
minutes.
12. If no warnings or errors are shown, proceed to check the successful communication connection:
Press the or button on the Any-Grid to which the battery racks are connected to cycle through
the screen views. The number of battery racks and battery groups are shown in the information screen view
before the “Main unit firmware version (U1)” as shown below:
Information Screen View Example
Battery rack and battery group
quantity
Battery parallel rack quantity = 8, battery group quantity = 2
If errors or warnings are shown, consult the Any-Grid manual for details. Warning codes 60, 61, 69 and 70 are
specific to Lithium battery communication functionality.
13. Activate the circuit breakers or insert the fuses to energize the various inputs and outputs on the Any-Grid in
the following order (skip any that are not connected):
a) AC input
b) PV input
c) AC output
The commissioning and programming of the battery-related settings of the Any-Grid is now complete.
