Install the KiloVault® HAB™ out of the reach of children and animals. Warning: The KiloVault® HAB™ is heavy, over 230 lb. (105 kg), and may cause serious back injury. Lift with multiple people and lifting equipment rated to lift and support at least 230 lb.
Install the KiloVault® HAB™ out of the reach of children and animals. Warning: The KiloVault® HAB™ is heavy, over 230 lb (105 kg), and may cause serious back injury. Lift with multiple people and lifting equipment rated to lift and support at least 230 lb.
• Verify that all equipment that is going to be connected to the KiloVault® HAB™ is turned off before making any connections. • A small risk of spark does exist while making connections. Ensure the area is free of explo- sive gasses and liquids and is not installed in confined areas.
1.3.3. Response to Emergency Situations The HAB™ is comprised of multiple batteries and is designed to prevent hazards resulting from failures; however, no battery system is 100% safe, and KiloVault®, LLC cannot guarantee its absolute safety. In the unlikely event of a fire first shut off the source of the electricity if possible. We recom- mend a fire extinguisher in close proximity of your power generating equipment.
Warning: Never connect HAB™ units in series! KiloVault® HAB™ Series wall-mount energy storage systems provide a 7.5 Kilowatt-hour (7 kilowatt-hour usable) battery in a single package. Up to 14 units can be connected in parallel for additional capacity. The HAB™ Series has been designed for trouble-free mounting and is easy to connect with other system components.
3. Specifications 3.1. Electrical Specifications Note: • Specifications are subject to change without prior notice. • The following are specifications only, NOT set points.

4.4. Suitable Installation Locations The HAB™ should be installed high enough above the floor to allow the battery cables to bend without kinking and allow easy access to the knockouts on the bottom of the HAB™ . There should be about 8 inches (approx. 200 mm) of clearance on both sides. Observe the following: •...
4.5. Install the HAB™ Wall Mounting Plate The HAB™ comes with the single mounting plate option. JUNE 2022 / Rev: 1.0...
Page 23
The HAB™ mounting plate can be used as a template to mark your pilot holes on the mounting surface. Choose holes so that you can mount the plate using at least four of the widely spaced holes. Use a level to ensure that the plate is level. Refer to Section 4.5.1 Mounting Surface for information regarding mounting surface requirements.
Failing to wait at least 30 seconds risks causing internal short cir- cuit events and causing damage to its internal resistors. Warning: The KiloVault® HAB™ is for use with 48 V systems only. DO NOT connect them in series! JUNE 2022 / Rev: 1.0...
4.6. Connecting the HAB™ to Your Inverter There are access ports on the bottom left, bottom right, and on the bottom of the wiring access panel. One large and two small strain reliefs are included in the HAB™ packaging. To use them remove the plugs from the relevant access ports and replace them with the included strain reliefs.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. Protective (grounding) conductor terminal KiloVault® HAB™ is provided with ground terminals that must be reliably connected to ground (protective earth) by appropriately sized equipment grounding conductors. System grounding for the AC and DC systems must be done according to all applicable NEC and local installation codes.
RJ45 cable. (10’ Max length) Optional: Connect the Modbus communication cable between the Leader HAB™ and the inverter. Contact KiloVault® for a list of supported inverters. Connect the power cables from the HAB™ to the inverter (or to the DC bus if installing to multiple units), making sure to use overcurrent protection as required.

The XW Pro will regulate charging from the AC coupled PV inverters using frequency shifting, based on the battery charging limits and SOC information communicated by the BMS.
10. FCC Information to the User This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
12.1 Clearance Requirements Provide at least 91 cm (36 in.) of clearance in front of the inverter, and a minimum of 15 cm (6 in.) of clearance at the top and bottom of the inverter for ventilation. Ensure the vents remain unobstructed, and that the Conext XW Pro Power Distribution Panel door has adequate room to fully open.
NOTICE RISK OF BATTERY AND INVERTER DAMAGE Always follow the recommended start-up sequence and minimum batter- ies. This is required to avoid excessive in rush current. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage Single XW Pro with Single Master BMS (Split-Phase and Single-Phase) with AC Coupling 13.1 AC Connections This section provides instructions for making AC connections between the Conext XW Pro and the Power Distribution Panel (PDP) (using the pre-installed AC cables in the PDP) and...
To access the AC terminal block, you will need to remove the AC access panel. For more infor- mation, see "Removing the AC Access Panel and PDP Internal Faceplates" on page 44 of Conext XW-PRO-NA- Installation guide. The AC terminal block includes three terminals each (L1, L2, and Neutral) for AC Grid input (AC1), AC Generator input (AC2), and AC Out (AC LOAD) connections, see Figure below.

Multi-Unit Power System can be used as a grid-tie power backup equipment or as primary power sources for off-grid sites. They may or may not have solar energy harvest capability or other alter- nate energy sources. Electrically, all the power devices are connected to a common AC and DC bus using appropriate circuit breakers, electrical panels, combiner boxes and/or power distribution panels (PDP).
14.1 XW Pro Multi-unit Design Guide Multi-Unit Power System This section provides instructions for making AC and DC connections between multiple Conext XW Pro units and a Power Distribution Panel (PDP), using the cables that are included with each PDPand Connection Kit for INV2 INV3 PDP. A Multi-Unit Power System is a group of battery-based XW Pro inverter/chargers and related devices which are physically assembled together, electrically connected together, and configured to operate as a single power source.
15.1 Making DC Connections Note: Before connecting the DC cables from the PDP to the battery, perform the procedures in "Making AC Connections" To connect the Power Distribution Panel (PDP) to the Conext XW Pro: 1. Connect the positive battery cable (pre-installed in the PDP) to the positive battery terminal at the bottom of the Conext XW Pro, as shown in Figure below.
16.1 Battery Cable Requirements Cable runs should be kept as short as practical. Length should not exceed 10 feet. Run the positive and negative cables alongside each other. Avoid cable loops. In order to keep the battery cable length short, install the Conext XW Pro as close as possible to the battery room or battery enclosure.
To connect the PDP to the Battery Bank: Connect your battery cables (not included) to the PDP. Connect the negative battery cable to the DC Negative Bus, and the positive battery cable to the input end of the GJ250A 160 VDC, 3/8" stud DC breaker (pre-installed in the PDP), as shown in Figure LEGEND 1.
