Power Cable - (Connection for Black/1.5m/4AWG/2 Black Surlok Battery Series - to Control Terminal Module -) Power Cable (Battery Module Orange/0.18m/4AWG/1 Orange & Serial Connection) 1 Black Surlok Terminal Battery Cascade Black/0.18m/8 Core Super 5th Communication Cable (0.18m) Class Twisted-pair Wire/RJ45 External Battery CAN Black/3.5m/Super 5th Class Communication Cable (direct)
Lock Button during pulling out the power plug. Grounding: The PowerCube-X1 modules are grounding based on metal direct touch between the module’s surface and rack’s surface. So it needn’t grounding cables at all. If uses normal rack, it can remove the paint at the corresponding place.
The ambient temperature is within the range from 0° C to 50° C. The temperature and humidity is maintained at a constant level. There is minimal dust and dirt in the area. CAUTION If the ambient temperature is outside the operating range, the battery pack stops operating to protect itself.

B. System turn On Double check all the power cables and communication cables. Make sure the voltage of the Inverter is same level with the battery system. (1) Switch battery system switch on. All the control modules and the battery modules’ green LED light (status and capacity) as below will be on: If all the LED light on as normal, which means the battery system is good and working.
5. Trouble Shooting Steps 1) If the system is turned on, and the status LED of Control Module is red, but the status LED of Battery Module is green. Please check the External Battery Communication Cable (CAN/RS485) connection is right or not. 2) If the system is turned on, and the status LED of Control Module is fleshing in red, the battery system self check can’t detected.
6. Emergency Situations 1) Leaking Batteries If the battery pack leaks electrolyte, avoid contact with the leaking liquid or gas. If one is exposed to the leaked substance, immediately perform the actions described below. Inhalation: Evacuate the contaminated area, and seek medical attention. Contact with eyes: Rinse eyes with flowing water for 15 minutes, and seek medical attention.
