Saft Evolion Installation And Operation Instruction Sheet

Evolion 3.9 kWh
®
Installation and operation instruction sheet

1. Introduction

The Evolion ® is a Li-ion battery system that includes large format Li-ion cells and
necessary electronics for automatic interruptions or regulated operations when un-safe
limit is exceeded and detected.
This sheet is a quick start guide. It describes how to install and operate the Evolion
in a legacy battery mode, i.e., with no RS485/Modbus communication connected.
Within this sheet, the necessary tasks are noted with Ev#'s and they are in order that
they should be conducted. Use the Evolion
for records. Make sure to read the Evolion
Manual (UM), the Evolion 3.9 kWh Technical Manual (TM) and the Evolion
®
Software User Manual (CM). Check with your local Saft Representative for more details.

Ev2 Study Evolion features.
®
Check the state after
Ev3 receiving and before
storage or installation.
Always keep the Evolion
kit in its original packaging, together.

5. Storage

Store the battery in its original packaging.
• 15°C to 35°C (59°F to 95°F).
• No direct sunlight, rain or flooding
• Up to 1 year without refreshing charge
After 6 months, check the
Ev4 state once per month in
storage.
IMPORTANT: Never leave the Evolion
ON when it is not in use. The internal
electronics will self-discharge the cells
to a low voltage alarm level which may
render the module un-usable.

6. Transportation

Follow the necessary transportation
rules for Li-ion batteries by consulting
with your company's standard practice
and your local transportation regulations.
• Use the original packaging or equivalent.
• Secure the Evolion in place
®
