SAJ is not responsible for these losses and warranty claims. • To ensure property and personal safety, the battery modules and inverter shall be well grounded. Caution • Do not modify or tamper with AS1 and other components of the system.
1.2 Symbols instructions Symbol Description Dangerous electrical voltage The device is directly connected to public grid, thus all work to the battery shall only be carried out by qualified personnel. No open flames Do not place or install near flammable or explosive materials.
Chapter 2 Product Introduction 2.1 Scope of application AS1 series is used in energy storage retrofits and is a new type of AC coupled energy storage system. The built-in lithium battery inside AS1 can be expanded in capacity according to user demands, and the modular design of the slave device makes it easy to install wiring.
XK indicates the rated power of the product XkW, such as 3K for ② 3kW. S represents single phase; T represents three phase. ③ Indicates the built-in battery capacity, such as 5.1 for 5.1kWh. ④ 2.3 Datasheet AS1-3KS-5.1 AS1-3KS-5.1 Type Battery Data Battery Type Lithium ion Total Energy Capacity[Wh] 5120...

•Please do not install in damp places. •The installation location must be well ventilated. •AS1-3KS-5.1 (hereinafter also referred to as the master device) can be used independently. If the battery capacity needs to be expanded, please use B1-5.1-48 (slave device), and maximum 3 slave devices can be accessed.
3.2.1 AS1 series product dimension Fig. 3.1 AS1-3KS-5.1 appearance and dimension diagram 3.2.2 AS1-3KS-5.1 is cooled by natural wind convection. It is recommended to install in indoors or sheltered areas to avoid direct sunlight, rain and snow. Fig. 3.2 Installation tips...

3.2.3 Vertical ground mounting method is recommended and it’s allowed to be installed by maximum tilting 15° backward. Do not install it horizontally or reversely. Fig. 3.3 Installation angle 3.2.4 Please ensure that the air at the installation point is circulated. Bad air ventilation will affect the working performance of internal electronic components and shorten the service life of AS1.
3.3 Installation steps 3.3.1 Determine the mounting hole position of the hanging panel The AS1 series is mounted on a hanging panel. The mounting position is determined according to the position of the hanging hole on the hanging panel. Unit: mm. Fig.
