3. Installation 3.1 Installation Environment Make sure that the installation environment meets the following conditions: The area is completely waterproof. The floor is flat and level. There are no flammable or explosive materials nearby. The ambient temperature is within the range of 0~50°C. ...
3.2 Mounting the Modules Step 1: Clip two SNAP bushings into the stand feet. Then, fix two fixing plates on the stand feed (both sides) with eight screws. finally, fix two L- type brackets on the battery module (both sides) with four screws. Step 2: Install one battery module by following below steps.

Follow the same procedure as step (b) to fix the other side. Refer to Step 2, fix the top battery module on the wall with two expansion bolts. If there are more battery modules installed, repeat steps (a) to (d). Step 4 (If an optional PDU module is required in the system): Stack the PDU module on the top of all battery modules.
3.3 Wiring Configuration Step 1: Insert the supplied RJ11 jumper into one of the extension port on the top of the battery module. *It's required to connect to the battery module for normal operation. RJ11 Jumper BAT- BAT+ BAT- BAT+...
Page 18
Step 2 (If multiple battery modules are in parallel): Insert RJ11 cable to connect the extension port of the master battery module*. The other end connects to the extension port of the #2 battery module. If there are more battery modules are connected in the system, repeat this step to connect more battery modules.
