1 Safety The components described by this manual are intended to be used as part of an energy storage system and installed per all local building codes and regulations in addition to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (for US) and Canadian Electrical Code (for Canada).
1.3 General safety precautions Important! Installation, service, and operating personnel must read this document in its entirety, and observe all safety and installation procedures as described in this manual. Never operate system in a manner not described by this manual. Only qualified personnel should service this product.
This manual is intended to be used by qualified service and installation personnel for the purposes of product installation. This manual contains instructions for the installation of Eguana Evolve™ energy storage components required to assemble the Evolve LFP Max ; including the CB. This product is permanently wired to the home electrical service, and must be installed by a licensed electrician only.
The system components supplied with the system are shown below. Each component should be inspected visually for any damage that may have been caused by shipment. If damage is present, please contact your local distributor. Item Eguana P/N Description ACB05U-PP/SP Max...
3 Installation Site Preparation Before installing the product, read all instructions and warnings in this manual. This product is wall-mounted only, and can be installed both outdoors (in compliance with NEMA Type 3R installations) and indoors, either attached or detached garages, and indoor locations more than 5 feet from dwelling units.
4 PCS and Battery Cabinet Wall-Mounting Instructions Note: The following instructions apply to the –SP model. The -PP model follows the same instruction set with the battery cabinet placed to the left of the PCS cabinet. Mount the wall rail to the wall. Use the available slot pattern to mount to a load-bearing structure rated for the weight of the final system.

Remove the PCS cabinet from its packaging and stand upright. (not shown). Remove the front cover. Assemble and mount the single lower-center leveling bracket as shown in steps 3 and 4 above. CAUTION! The PCS cabinet is heavy. Mechanical lift or two persons recommended. Lift the PCS cabinet onto the wall mounting bracket.
5 Battery Module Assembly The following instructions include: Interconnection of the PCS DC and communication cables to • the battery cabinet. Preparation and assembly of the battery cabinet modules and • internal wiring. Note: Overcurrent protection of the DC source is provided internally as part of the integrated battery system.
5.3 Preparing battery modules for installation The PCS cabinet is not shown in the following steps. CAUTION! Ensure the battery module power switches are in the OFF position throughout the following procedure. Note: Observe the rotation of the modules on the lower and upper racks. The lower rack is rotated such that the chassis ground terminal is at the bottom of the module, while the upper rack chassis ground terminal is at the top.
5.4 Mounting and grounding the battery modules in the battery cabinet Slide the lower rack battery into the cabinet as shown, and connect the ground cable to the ring terminal ground connector on the battery module as shown. Push the module inward until making contact with the rear face of the cabinet. Repeat steps 1 and 2 above with the 2 lower rack module.
5.5 Wiring the battery modules Follow the battery module power and communication jumper wiring below. Description Pylon p/n label BMS jumper #3792 WI0SRJ458025 short 210 mm BMS jumper #3794 WI0SUS300002 long 700 mm 5.5.1 Battery module DC -/+ jumper cable wiring The battery cables are factory terminated at the DC- and DC+ bus.
5.5.3 PCS to BMS communication cable This cable is specific to the battery model. Refer to the instruction that applies only to the battery module suppled. Terminate the PCS-BMS cable in battery #1 as shown below. This battery is herein referred to as the “Master” battery module.
6 System Electrical Wiring PCS cabinet – bottom view Note: This product is capable of providing utility interactive and islanded back up power, and can be AC coupled to a utility interactive photovoltaic inverter. Wiring methods must be in accordance with local electrical codes.
6.3 Chassis Grounding In this section, “Chassis Ground” is referred to as “ground” or “grounding” unless otherwise mentioned. The AC and DC grounding are intended to provide a low impedance signal path at all frequencies. DC Ground Wiring Installation: The PCS cabinet is shipped with ungrounded DC power terminals within the inverter. However, the default setting for DC grounding is set for DC negative to ground.
8 ESS startup procedure CAUTION! Powering the ESS requires a specific start-up procedure. Please follow the steps below. CAUTION! If the battery disconnect has been placed in the OFF position at any time during operation, wait one minute before returning to the ON position. Rapid cycling (less than one minute) of the battery disconnect can cause damage to the pre-charge circuit.

9.4 Backup Power Operation This system will provide backup power to dedicated electrical circuits within the home via a permanently wired electrical sub-panel, referred to as the backup panel. Backup power is limited in rating and duration, both of which are dependent on the nature of the loads connected to the system, and the availability of the solar PV supply.
Do not use any solvents, scouring, or corrosive materials to clean the unit. Never remove or unplug connections or plugs during cleaning. Please contact Eguana technical support @ 1-800-6478 for any service related inquiries. 11 Serviceable Parts – Battery module removal/replacement The battery modules within the battery cabinet are removable and/or replaceable.
System faults are reported and logged in the monitoring system. All fault logs are also accessible remotely by your installer. IMPORTANT! Contact an Eguana service representative as recommended below only after any of the following conditions are present on the front display of the inverter panel, and the recommended actions do not resolve the issue.
