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.
The aeration shall avoid of high salinity, humidity or temperature. Caution: Force-H1 system is in-door design. 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. B. Force-H1 system must not be immersed in water. Cannot be placed the battery base in rain or other water sources. As a suggestion, the base’s height should >300mm above the ground.
3.4.4 Mounting and installation of the base The base must be fixed installed on the basement with 4pcs M8×80 foundation bolts. Battery rack basement holes bitmap (unit: mm):...
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). The internal DC Power connection and Communication connection between the batteries and BMS Controller are automatically connected when the battery/controller module is mount over the other.
3.4.6 Installation of the metal bracket for the system In control module’s package has 2pcs short and 2pcs long metal brackets. Fix these metal brackets at the both back side corners.
Danger: No short circuit or reserved connection of the battery system’s positive and negative port. Caution: Wrong communication cables connection will cause the battery system failure. 3.5.1 Grounding The Force-H1 modules’ grounding cable on the grounding point (above the right side of top metal bracket screw or beside the both side of screw 1).
Page 28
Grounding cable must ≥10AWG. The cable shall be copper with yellow-green color.
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.
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.
Warning: If has failure during the self-check, must debug the failure then can start next step. If the “STATUS” lamp shows orange from beginning, it means there has some failure in the battery string, the Power Relays in BMS will open, must debug at first. Note: The LED lamp will be off in 20sec without any operation.
NOTE After installation, DO NOT forget to register online for full warranty: www.pylontech.com.cn/service/support 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.
