Page 10: Installation
Installation Diagram of system Fig. 4 This system works through connection with solar panels and the grid. Firstly, your solar panels generate energy from the sun in the form of DC electricity. This then flows through an inverter, which converts the DC electricity into AC electricity for use in the home.
Page 11 Installation (Cont.) Installation Location • The installation location of this product is key. It should be installed indoors in a location that can be accessed conveniently for maintenance purposes. The installation location should also allow for sufficient space for pedestrian passage. •...
Page 12 Installation (Cont.) Installation Procedure WARNING! Make sure the main wire is in compliance with the standard of rated capacity of battery to avoid hazards like electric shock or fire. WARNING! Do not use the wall receptacle as the input power source for the battery, as its rated current is less than the battery’s maximum input current.
Page 13 Installation (Cont.) • Prior to wiring, check the anode and cathode of the battery. The anode and cathode terminals should MUST be connected correctly. • During battery connection, please wear protective gloves. When using metal tools, such as a as torque wrench, please use insulating packaging so that the two ends of the metal tools will not make contact with the positive and negative terminals of the battery at the same time, to avoid a short-circuit.
Page 14 Installation (Cont.) Installation of the lithium battery, wiring and startup; • Make sure the battery pack is switched off, before installing it onto the wall- mounting bracket. • The anode and cathode of the battery pack should be connected to the switching mode power supply or inverter.
Page 15 Installation (Cont.) Fig. 8 Connecting the wires WARNING! Ensure the power is completely switched off before installing any wires!
