Operating Manual Step 6: Repeat steps 2 to 5 to install the other battery modules required. Please align the lower battery with the front of the upper battery during installation. Step 7: After installing the battery module, place the high-voltage box on top of the battery box.
Operating Manual 2.3 Communication connection The communication between the BMS and the inverter is RS485 and CAN. The commu- nication between pack and pack is Daisy chain. .The communication between the BMS main box and the parallel BMS main box is CAN . BMS communication can use the Pack-Inverter connection cable to communicate with the Inverter.
Operating Manual 2.4 Cable connection The SLA-ESS-S1 system (without inverter) is cableless installation design which includes pre-installed internal connections. The modular stack installation directly plug-in and completes the series connection between battery modules. The connec- tion between The SLA-ESS-S1 system (from BMS main box) and the inverter requires a cable connection using PCS-BAT connector which includes power connection, com- munication and grounding.
Page 26
Operating Manual 1.If you want to install the ,SLA-ESS-S1-30kWh series battery packs, you need to con- nect cables to the parallel ports of the two BMS main boxes. Parallel cables shall be installed in troughs or protected by a metallic cable duct or conduit. The metallic cable duct or conduit, provided that that metallic parts are connected with the equipotential bonding system and comply with IEC62477-2022 clause 4.4.4.2.2 WARNING:Parallel cables shall be installed in troughs or protected by metal pipes.
Operating Manual 2.5 Install grounding protection wire Precautions Ensure that the protective ground wire is reliably connect- Danger! ed. If it is not connected or becomes loose, it may pose an electrical shock hazard. It is recommended to apply silicone or paint on the Notice outside of the grounding terminal for protection after the grounding wire installation is completed.

Operating Manual 2. Please record every detail related to the fault for analysis and troubleshooting. Do not perform any operation on the equipment while it is malfunctioning. Please contact Smart Lifestyle service support as soon as possible. 3. Since the battery contains a small amount of oxygen, and all batteries have explo- sion-proof valves, there is almost no chance of explosion.
Operating Manual 2. If the battery PACK has not caught fire, please put out the fire before the battery PACK catches fire. 3. If the battery PACK catches fire, do not try to extinguish the fire but evacuate people immediately. Precaution: When the temperature of the battery exceeds 150°C, it may Warning!

When the battery system is switched on, the power button indicator lights up. When the battery system is disconnected, the power button indicator turns off Power light State: When RESS is turned OFF, the power light status will be “OFF”.
Operating Manual If in step2, long press is not within the range of 5s to 15s, the vertical light will flash and power light will remain “OFF”; If no effective press again within 5s (While the Vertical Notice light is flashing, and power light is off,), it will be back to the initial state (vertical light will turn “OFF”, and power light is “OFF”,).
Operating Manual Batteries can be stored in a metal cabinet such as a chemical-storage cabinet, make sure that batteries are not touching each other. It is recommended to have in place a fire detector in the storage area. Never leave batteries unattended where they can be damaged by someone. Have a class ABC or CO2 fire extinguisher nearby the storage area.
Operating Manual A lithium battery will have its capacity decreasing after being stored for a long time, and typically will have its capacity irreversibly decreasing by 3%–10% after being stored at the recommended storage temperature for 12 months. If the customer conducts the discharge test and acceptance according to the specifica- tion, there is a risk that the battery with a capacity less than 100% after being stored will fail the test.
