1. Safety
The PowerCube-X1/X2-V2 is a high voltage DC system, operated by
authorized person only. Read all safety instructions carefully prior
to any work and observe them at all times when working on with the
system.
Incorrect operation or work may cause:
➢Injury or death to the operator or a third party;
➢Damage to the system hardware and other properties belonging to the
operator or a third party.
Skills of Qualified Person
Qualified personnel must have the following skills:
⚫Training in the installation and commissioning of the electrical
system, as well as the dealing with hazards;
⚫Knowledge of the manual and other related documents;
⚫knowledge of the local regulations and directives.
1.1. Symbol
Danger
Lethal voltage!
⚫Battery strings will produce high voltage DC power
and can cause a lethal voltage and an electric
shock.
⚫Only qualified person can perform the wiring of the
battery strings.
Warning
Risk of battery system damage or personal injury
⚫DO not pull out the connectors while the system is
working!
⚫De-energize from all multiple power sources and
verify that there is no voltage.
Caution
Risk of battery system failure or life cycle reduces.

Danger: Batteries deliver electric power, resulting in burns
or a fire hazard when they are short circuited, or wrongly
installed.

Danger: Lethal voltages are present in the battery terminals
and cables. Severe injuries or death may occur if the cables
and terminals are touched.
Warning: Do not open or deform the battery module;
Warning: Whenever working on the battery, wear suitable
personal protective equipment (PPE) such as rubber gloves,
rubber boots and goggles.
Warning: PowerCube-X1/X2-V2 system working temperature
range: 0℃～50℃; Optimum temperature: 18℃～28℃. Out of the
working temperature range may cause the battery system over
/ low temperature alarm or protection which further lead to
the cycle life reduction as well as. It will affect the
warranty terms as well.
Caution: Improper settings or maintenance can permanently
damage the battery.
Caution: Incorrect inverter parameters will lead to the premature aging
of battery.

ADD
ADD Switch is a 6 bit dial switches to manually
distribute the communication address of the battery
system. Downward position is OFF, means “0”. Upward
position is ON, means “1”. For battery controller, 1st bit to 5th
bit is for address allocation, and the 6th bit dial switch support
a 120Ωresistance (Terminal Resistance), the upward position(ON) of
the 6th bit means access the resistance, and the downward
position(OFF) means no access resistance. The terminal resistance
needs to be activated ON at the first and last node.
Start Button
Start function: press more than 5sec until the buzzer rings,
to turn on controller.
