2.5. Sleep and Wake up 2.5.1. Sleep When any of the following conditions is met, the battery enters the low-power mode: 1. Under voltage protection is not released within 30 seconds. 2. Press the reset button for 3 seconds and then release the button. 3.
2.7. Automatic parallel With automatic parallel function, when the slave battery (address > 1) is powered on, the charge and discharge switch is in disconnect state. When the voltage difference between the slave battery and master battery is less than the condition of “the minimum voltage difference between the slave and the master”, the master sends the command to the slave.
HOW TO USE THE Z-RANGE ZRGP EMS TOOLS 3.1. Z-Range ZRGP EmsTools connection • Connect the RS232 interface of the battery to the computer using the RS232 communication line (this accessory is an optional accessory, need to be purchased separately from the manufacturer).

HOW TO MATCH COMMUNICATION WITH INVERTER 4.1. Supported brands At present, the energy storage products of our company have completed matching tests with some series inverters of the following brands, and we will continue matching tests with inverters of other companies. 4.2.
4.3. Connection with inverter This section will introduce how to hardware connect Z-Range products with 8.2 section “Inverter Matching List”. Inverters manufacturers may upgrade their products, resulting in hardware communication interface changes. If communication is not possible in the application according to the following wiring method, please contact with us.
SAFE HANDLING OF LITHIUM BATTERIES GUIDE 5.1. Schematic Diagram of Solution 5.2. Familiar with batteries Be careful when opening the battery package. The battery is heavy. Do not lift it with a pole. There are two handles on both sides of the battery. The weight of the battery can be found in the chapter “Specifications”.
5.4. Tools The following tools are required to install the battery pack: 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 of the available tools, except their tips, with electrical tape. 5.5.
INSTALLATION 6.1. Package Items Unpacking and check the Packing List: 1) Connector Each battery will be equipped with a positive connector and a negative connector, the two connectors are not connected to the cable, and the user can be wired according to the actual application needs.
6.2. Installation Location Make sure that the installation location meets the following conditions: • The area is completely water proof.The floor is flat and level. • There are no flammable or explosive materials. • The ambient temperature is within the range from 0°C to 50°C. • The temperature and humidity is maintained at a constant level. •...
6.3. Parallel Installation A. Put the battery module in the cabinet and connect the cable (1) Put the battery in the cabinet. (2) Fix 4 PC screws. (3) Connect the cable between the battery modules. (4) The dialing address is pulled out to ensure that the soft switch of the power supply is disconnected.

(3) Press the red button of master battery to power on, all the battery LED light will be on one by one from the Master battery: If all the battery LED lights on, and then off, which means the battery system is good and working. NOTE After installation, do not forget to register online for full warranty: http://www.zruipower.com NOTE...
TROUBLE SHOOTING STEPS 7.1. Problem determination based on 1) Whether the battery can be turned on or not. 2) If battery is turned on, check the red light is off, flashing or lighting. 3) If the red light is off, check whether the battery can be charged/discharged or not. 7.2. Preliminary determination steps 1) Battery cannot turn on, switch on the lights is all no lighting or flashing. If the battery external switch is ON, the RUN light is flashing, and the external power supply voltage is 48Vor more, the battery still unable to turn on, please contact distributor.
(4). Damaged Batteries Damaged batteries are dangerous and must be handled with the utmost care. They are not fit for use and may pose a danger to people or property. If the battery pack seems to be damaged, pack it in its original container, and then return it to i-G3N. Note: • Damaged batteries may leak electrolyte or produce flammable gas.
