surface
4 ISO 7000-1641 Refer to the operation
manual
Any contact with copper bar, contactor and terminal inside the device or connected with the loop of utility
grid might result in burning or fatal electric shock.
Don’t touch any terminal and conductor connected with the loop of utility grid.
Pay attention to any instruction and safety documents about power on-grid.
There might be an electric shock risk inside the device!
Any operation related to this device will be conducted by professionals.
Pay attention to the safety precautions listed in safety instruction and installation documents.
Pay attention to the safety precautions listed in operating and installation manual and other documents.

11
Large leakage current
Before connecting input power supply, please ensure that the grounding is reliable.
The device must be grounded complying with the local electric codes.
When storage battery is connected to PCS, there may be DC voltage at input port. Please pay attention to it
during operation or check the battery system user manual
Don’t touch electric parts within 15 minutes after switchin off!
There is dangerous energy in capacitance storage. Don’t touch device terminal, contactor and cooper bar
and other electric parts within 15 minutes after disconnecting all device power supplies.
All maintenance and preservation inside the device require using tools and shall be conducted by trained
person. The components behind the protective cover plate and dam board which are opened by tools cannot
be maintained by users.
Please read this user’s manual before operation.

4.2 Safety during Transport
If the lifted or suspended load falls over, falls or sways, there is a risk of crushing
Vibration or careless or hasty lifting and transport can cause the product to tip over or fall. This can result in
death or serious injury.
All national transport standards and regulations must be respected.
Always transport the product as close as possible to the floor.
Avoid fast or uneven movement during transport.
Always maintain a sufficient safety distance from the product during transportation.

15
Damaged frame structure of the PCS due to uneven support surface
Placing the PCS on an uneven surface can cause bending, which causes the PCS door to no longer close
properly.
This can cause moisture and dust to seep into the PCS.
Do not place the PCS on an unstable, uneven surface, even for short periods of time.
The unevenness of the support surface must be less than 0.25%.
Do not use the installed kick plate to transport the PCS.
4.2 Transporting the PCS
4.2.1 Transport and storage
The module of the PCS are installed in the PCS cabinet rack during shipping. During device transport and
storage, pay attention to the caution sign on the packing case.
The selection of storing position should ensure that:
• There is no corrosive gas around it.
• There are over-wetting and high-temperature sources.
• It is not a dusty environment.
• It complies with the local firefighting requirements.
During rack transport and storage, stacking is not allowed. The device top cannot be placed with other
articles.
The rack should be placed vertically at forward direction. Keep it upright and don’t place it horizontally.
4.2.2 Transporting
When removing the PCS unpacked from packing case, a forklift can be used to remove the whole PCS
cabinet rack.
Users can lift the device from the bottom with a forklift. There is no lifting hole on its top.

16
Fig. 4-1 Moving PCS
Before the rack is moved, please ensure that the module is fixed stably.
4.3 Unpacking the PCS
Please take care to protect the PCS inside the package when unpacking.
PCS can’t be inverted and the vertical tilt angle should not exceed 30 degree.
5 Mechanical Installation
5.1 Safety during Installation
Risk of electric shock caused by live voltage:
There is a high voltage in the live components of the product. Touching field components can result in death
or seriousness electric shock damage.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment for all work on the product.

17
Do not touch any live components.
Observe all warning messages in products and documents.
Obey all safety information from the battery manufacturer.
Electric shock hazard caused by DC cable:
The DC cable connected to the battery is live. Contact with live cables can cause electrocution, death or
serious injury and shock.
Before connecting the DC cable, make sure that the DC cable has no voltage.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
Danger to life due to electric shock when entering the storage system:
Damage to the insulation in the storage system can result in fatal ground currents. May cause a fatal electric
shock. Ensure that the insulation resistance of the storage system exceeds the minimum.
Minimum value：The insulation resistance is: 14kΩ.
The PCS must be installed in a closed electrical operating area not accessible to public.
Fire due to failure to observe torque specifications at real-time bolt connections
Failure to comply with the specified torque reduces the current carrying capacity of the live bolt connection,
thereby increasing the contact resistance.
This can cause the components to overheat and catch fire.

18
Be sure to always tighten the live bolt connection using the correct torque specified in this document.
Use only the right tools when working on the device.
Avoid repeatedly tightening the live bolt connection as this may result in unacceptably high torque.
5.2 Installation requirements
5.2.1 Environment requirements
It is installed indoor. Direct sunshine, rain and ponding should be avoided.
The installation environment is clean. The air should not contain lots of dust.
The installation position should on firm base.
Environment temperature should be within the temperature range listed in technical specification.
The installation position is convenient for observing the touch screen.
5.2.2 Ground requirements
The storage inverter needs to be installed on flat ground. The weight-bearing capacity of the ground for
installation should be greater than 1,000kg/ m2.
5.2.3 Ventilation
The storage inverter has forced air-cooling. Every module has an independent ventilation route. The module
heat dissipation mode is air inlet in the front and air outlet in the rear. The cold air is inhaled from the mesh
openings of front door of the rack. After heat absorption, the hot air is discharged from the mesh openings
of rear door of the rack.
To ensure the quality of air inlet, please carry out installation according to the operation space requirement
in section below. Proper space should be reserved for air inlet and outlet. A exhaust is recommend to be
installed in the room so as to ensure that the heat emitted from the storage inverter can be discharged
outside the room.

19
At the rear of the rack, heat dissipation should be guaranteed and ventilation equipment needs to be
installed so as to ensure that the heat emitted from the storage inverter can be discharged outside the
machine room.
5.2.4 Operation space
The installation space of the PCS should have a proper distance from its peripheral walls so as to ensure that
the machine door can be opened and closed conveniently and there will be sufficient space for module
insertion and extraction, normal heat dissipation and user’s operation.
Fig. 5-1Front and back installation space of storage inverter(Please seen Chapter 5.5 Installation in
container for the recommend fan location)
Position Description
A front ≥800mm, ensure that the front door of the rack can be fully opened. There is
sufficient space for cold air to enter. Users can conveniently insert and extract the
module and operate the breaker.
B rear ≥800mm, ensure that the rear door of the rack can be fully opened. Please seen
Chapter 5.5 for the air volume requirements and air duct design. Ventilation and
heat dissipation should be ensured. Users can have sufficient space for
maintenance.
