KATEK Steca PylonTech US2000B Quick Start Manual

Using PylonTech Lithium Battery Packs with the
Steca Solarix PLI 5000-48 Inverter Charger
Latest update: 03.07.2018
Recommended Steca Solarix PLI 5000-48 setup for
the PylonTech US2000B, US2000Bplus, US3000B or
Phantom-S Li-Ion battery models
The following setup and settings have been selected through co-
operation between Steca Elektronik GmbH and Pylon Technologies Co.,
Ltd. (PylonTech). They represent recommended values for cyclical
applications as are typical in many solar PV applications with a depth
of discharge (DOD) of approximately 80%. This recommendation is
applicable to the PylonTech US2000B, US2000Bplus, US3000B
and Phantom-S battery models. We recommend using at least 4 pcs.
of the US2000B / US2000Bplus / Phantom-S or 3 pcs. of the US3000B
battery packs in parallel to reliably sustain the 5 kW full power
the batteries. Install one fuse or circuit breaker in each the
positive and negative cable between the battery bank and Solarix PLI with a rating of at least 150 Adc (slow).
Additionally, it is recommended to use a surge protector (SPD) on the battery terminals that
protects from voltages above 60 to 65 Vdc (example: Citel DS230S-48DC or similar), as well as on the PV side
(Citel DS240S-110DC or similar). If using more than 4 battery packs (or 3 for the US3000B), make sure to use
two battery cable pairs in parallel between the battery and the Solarix PLIs, each with their own fuses.
Make sure to always follow the requirements and guidelines from the battery manufacturer and
verify the settings with the data sheet of your batteries before applying them. Please contact
your retailer in case of uncertainty. Read the Steca Solarix PLI and battery manuals before
applying these settings. Follow your local regulations.
