cause fatal injury to the operator, third parties, and equipment. The manufacturer 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. •Please pay attention to the risks caused by improper modification.
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. Danger of hot surface The components inside the device will release a lot of heat during operation.
1.3 Emergency Situation Despite of its careful and professional protection design against any hazard results, damage of the battery may still occur. If a small amount of battery electrolyte is released due to a serious damage of the outer casing; or if the battery explodes due to not being treated timely after a fire breaks out nearby, and leaks out poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and etc., the following actions are recommended:...
against any hazard results, rupture of battery shall may still occur due to mechanical damage, internal pressure and etc., and may result in a leakage of battery electrolyte. The electrolyte is corrosive and flammable. When there is fire, the toxic gases produced will cause skin and eyes irritation, and discomfort after inhalation.
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. In daytime, solar power supports the loads first while the surplus power will be stored by AS1, to improve self-consumption rate.

needed to protect the system from tripping, either type A or type AB RCD are compatible with the inverter. The integrated leakage current detector of inverter is able to detect the real time external current leakage. When a leakage current detected exceeds the limitation, the inverter will be disconnected from grid quickly, if an external residual current device is connected, the action current should be 30mA or higher.
