SYMBOL CONVENTION Symbol Convention The following symbols may appear in this manual, and their meanings are as follows. Symbol Description Indicates a potential risk that could lead to system failure or fault alarm if not avoided. Indicates a medium level of risk that could lead to system damage or injury if not avoided.
TERMINOLOGY Terminology 1. Battery Management System (BMS) It is used to monitor the operating information (such as voltage, current, temperature, battery protection parameters, etc.) of battery cells, battery packs, and system units, and intelligently evaluate the state of charge (SOC) and health status (SOH) and accumulated energy released to protect the safety of battery.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 6. Grid-connected System A grid-connected system usually consists of a PV string, an H30 outdoor unit (battery system), and the power grid. When the power generated by the PV string is abundant, the surplus power can be fed into the grid. Conversely, when the power generated by the PV string and the battery system is insufficient, the grid can supply power to the load.
