Fire Hazard system! The SimpliPHI 6.6 Battery System must be installed on a non- flammable surface. If installed on flammable construction, a At least three (3) feet from explosive or flammable objects: non-flammable material must be placed between the system SimpliPHI Batteries are not ignition protected.
Converter and Load Requirements PDU (Controller) Components (per box) Name Quantity The Simpliphi 6.6 BESS is intended for use with a DC source- load (e.g. hybrid inverter or charge controller) that operates Controller within 45-58 VDC. The recommended maximum load is Screw, M4 x 10mm <130A for each Simpliphi 6.6 Battery in the system.
Installation Options If installing using a wall mount bracket, skip to Wall Mount The SimpliPHI 6.6 Batteries are designed to be floor or wall Base Installation. mounted in a stack of 1, 2, or 3 batteries. A maximum of 6 Product is intended for installation in non-seismic zones only.
Base must be mounted into two (2) load bearing beams, studs, or a solid material, with appropriate fasteners. The Wall Base is designed to hold up to three SimpliPHI 6.6 Modules and one Controller with a combined weight of up to 435 pounds.
For Stud attachment: Following Figure 4 below, use a Tighten the bolts to manufacturer’s torque specifications. measuring tape to determine the hole positions for the Then do a second check to make sure that the base is wall mount bracket base and mark the positions using a level.

Remove the four rear shoulder screws as shown in Install the first battery module on the base by aligning Figure 16. the bracket guides on the side of the battery with the tabs on the battery mount. Attach the battery module to the mount using the provided M4 x 10mm screws.
If applicable, repeat steps 1-3 to install the second battery module on top of the first and the third battery on top of the second. See Figure 20. This completes installation of the SimpliPHI 6.6 BESS. Continue to Conduit Installation (outdoors) or Electrical Wiring Installation (indoors).
Electrical Wiring Installation Mark and punch the conduit entry point in the side plate. See Figure 23. CAUTION Do not tighten the terminals beyond their maximum torque value of 15 ft-lbs (180 in-lbs). Use of an impact driver or power tools on the terminals will violate the terms of the Warranty.

Multi-Stack Installations (Figure 31, 32 or 33): For installations containing multiple stacks, the Controllers must be connected to each other via CAT5 (or greater) cables. In all configurations, all RJ-45 connectors must be occupied by a Battery CAN terminator, CAT5 connection to an adjacent battery stack, or a provided Battery Communications Adapter.
All SimpliPHI Batteries are balanced during final production and testing stages. Make sure the SimpliPHI 6.6 BESS is OFF. (No LEDs on Once the communication wiring is complete, all RJ-45s the batteries or Controller should be illuminated.) must be occupied.
Module (A) Maximum Discharge Current (A) Turn on the SimpliPHI 6.6 BESS (hold down the power button) until all LEDs on the batteries and Controller are ON. Repeat for each stack. Let the batteries charge and move on to EnergyTrak installations or installations without an EnergyTrak gateway.
Battery not communicating with 1. Be sure the unit is powered on EnergyTrak gateway or Sol-Ark by noting the green light on each Inverter battery module and use a DMM to measure that the voltage is within the operating range (46VDC - 58VDC).
