Warning: Whenever working on the battery, wear suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) such as rubber gloves, rubber boots and goggles. Warning: Force-H2 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.
Reminding 1) It is very important and necessary to read the user manual carefully (in the accessories) before installing or using battery. Failure to do so or to follow any of the instructions or warnings in this document can result in electrical shock, serious injury, or death, or can damage battery, potentially rendering it inoperable.
System Introduce 2.1 Product Introduce Force-H2 is a high voltage battery storage system based on lithium iron phosphate battery, which is one of the new energy storage products developed and produced by Pylontech. It can be used to support reliable power for various types of equipment and systems. Force-H2 is especially suitable for those application scenes which required high power output, limited installation space, restricted load-bearing and long cycle life.

Installation 3.1 Tools The following tools are required to install the battery pack: Wire Cutter Crimping Modular Plier Cable Ties Screw Driver Set Electric Screw Driver Adjustable Wrench Sleeve Piece 600VDC Multimeter NOTE Use properly insulated tools to prevent accidental electric shock or short circuits. If insulated tools are not available, cover the entire exposed metal surfaces with available insulated alternatives, except their tips, with electrical tape.
3.3.2 Temperature Force-H2 system working temperature range: 0℃~50℃; Optimum temperature: 18℃~28℃. Caution: Force-H2 system is IP55 design. But please avoid frost or direct sunlight. Out of the working temperature range will cause the battery system over / low temperature alarm or protection which further lead to the cycle life reduction.
In cold area the heating system is required. Force-H2 system must not be immersed in water. Can not be placed the battery base in rain or other water sources. As a suggestion, the base’s height should >300mm above the ground.
3.4.5 Battery Modules and Control Module (BMS) pile up Handle above the red marked edgings of the both side of these battery modules and control module (BMS). Caution: If hands under this red marked side, hands will get hurt. 16/34...
Danger: when battery is connected together with the base the internal socket still have high voltage DC power from serial connected battery modules (battery module can’t be turned off). 3.4.6 Installation of the metal bracket for the system In control module’s package has 2pcs short and 2pcs long metal bracket s.
3.4.7 Locking of the control Module’s fix screw of left and right side 3.5 Cables connection Attention: Danger: The battery system is high voltage DC system. Must make sure the grounding is fixed and reliable. Danger: All the plugs and sockets of the power cables must be not reverse connection. Otherwise it will cause personal injury.
Page 24
Caution: Wrong communication cables connection will cause the battery system failure. 3.5.1 Grounding The Force-H2 modules has 3 grounding point Grounding cable must ≥10AWG. The cable shall be copper with yellow-green color. 20/34...
3.5.2 Cables Note: Power cable uses water-proofed connectors. To disconnect, a special tool is required. Do not pull out directly Note: Communication cable uses RJ45 connector and water-proofed cover(M19-RJ45) matched with controller connection port. 21/34...
3.5.3 System turns on Warning: Double check all the power cables and communication cables. Make sure the voltage of the inverter/PCS is same level with the battery system before connection. Check all the power switch are OFF. System turns on step: 1) Check all cables are connected correctly.

then battery will black start to support inverter and after inverter turned on and set up communication, then BMS is ready for work. Caution: When the breaker is tripped off because of over current or short circuit, must wait after 10min to turn on it again, otherwise may cause the breaker damage.
Caution: Before replace the battery module for service, must charge/discharge the existing battery module voltage similar to the replacement. Otherwise the system need long time to do the balance for this replaced battery module. NOTE After installation, DO NOT forget to register online for full warranty: www.pylontech.com.cn/service/support 24/34...
System Debug This system debug is for BESS system (Battery Energy Storage System). BESS system can’t do the debug itself. It must operation with configured inverter, UPS, PCS and EMS system together. Debug Step Content Prepare of debug. Turn on the BESS system, refer to chapter 3. Before turn on the whole BESS system turn on the load is not allowed! Remark: Except the BESS, if other equipment have its own system turn on step, must follow the operation manual.
Maintenance 5.1 Trouble Shooting: Danger: The Force-H2 is a high voltage DC system, operated by qualified and authorized person only. Danger: Before check the failure, must check all the cables connection and the BESS system can turn on normally or not.
