During installation, do not place the equipment with its front facing towards the ground.

Handling of the REACT inverter and of the Battery Box requires two people. Do not attempt to wall mount the system alone.

 -Snatch off the adhesive on the hole on right lower enclosure’s side.

 -

Hook the REACT-BATT-AP1 to the bracket springs in correspondence with the insertion points in the bracket 

01

 on the back of the equipment (Step 1 and 

2). During this phase verify the correct alignment of the two unit (REACT-BATT-AP1 and REACT-UNO).

 -

Drill 2 holes in correspondence with the slots on the REACT-BATT lower bracket, using a drill with a 10 mm diameter bit. The holes must be approximately 70 mm 

deep.

 -

Anchor the lower part of the REACT-BATT using No. 2 plugs with a diameter of 10 mm, supplied (Step 3).

 -Unscrew the 8 screws and open the front cover 

11

 in order to make all the necessary connections.

Warning! Dangerous voltage on the terminals of the power connector. Be careful not to touch the terminals with fingers or with uninsulated 

equipment. Make the connections using personal protective clothing and/or equipment, such as insulating gloves.

 -Insert the battery pack connection cables (which come out of the inverter) into the REACT-BATT 

14

 using the hole present on the side of the mechanical 

cover.

 -Feed the cables into the cable conduit (male) 

36

 supplied with the REACT-BATT 

14

.

 -Insert the cable conduit (male) 

36

 into the REACT-BATT 

14

 and screw it into its counterpart (cable conduit (female) 

07

 on REACT-UNO 

03

.

Connect the cables to the respective counterparts on the battery pack respecting the positions:

 a

 Communication and control cable on the communication and control connector (cable from the unit on the right)

Before to close the front cover check that:

 

• the switch for setting the termination resistance of the internal communication line is in position OFF (downward) 

 

• the rotary switch for setting the internal RS485 address is in position 1. 

 -

Screw the 8 screws (tightening torque 2.4Nm) and close the REACT-BATT-AP1 front cover

Environmental checks

• The installation location must be easily accessible
• Prevent access to the installation location by children
• The minimum air volume in the installation location must be 

15m³ and equipped with two openings with a diameter of 6cm 

for natural air circulation. If the two openings are located in 

the same wall they must be made at a minimum distance of 2 

metres from each other.

• Installation of the unit in a location exposed to solar rays must 

be avoided as it may cause:

- power limitation phenomena in the inverter (with a resulting 

decreased energy production by the system)

-  premature  wear  of  the  electrical/electromechanical  com

-

ponents

- premature wear of the mechanical components (gaskets) 

and of the user interface (display)

- reduction in performance, lifetime and possible damage of 

the battery pack

• Always ensure that the flow of air around the inverter is not 

blocked so as to prevent overheating.

•  Do  not  install  in  locations  where  flammable  substances  or 

gases may be present

• Do not install in locations with a constant presence of water and/or high humidity level.
• Do not install in rooms where people live or where the prolonged presence of people or animals is expected, because of the noise (around 50dB(A) at 1 m) that 

the inverter produces during operation.

• Avoid electromagnetic interference that can compromise the correct operation of electronic equipment, with the consequent hazards
• The ambient temperature of the installation location must be between 5°C and 35°C to guarantee the optimal operation of the battery unit (REACT-BATT-AP1). 

Here below are the functions available from the system on the basis of the ambient temperature:

T1

 - Optimal operation of the REACT system

T2

 - Correct operation of the REACT system with possible reduction in the lifetime of the batteries

T3

 - Partial operation of the battery which limits its functioning to discharge only

T4

 - Operation limited to the inverter part only. Management of the battery is disabled.

• Consult the technical data to check the required environmental conditions (protection rating, temperature, humidity, altitude, etc.)

Final installation of the REACT system must not compromise access to any externally located disconnection devices.

Please refer to the warranty terms and conditions to evaluate any possible warranty exclusions due to improper installation.

Installation position

When choosing the place of installation, observe the following conditions: 
•  Install  on  a  wall  or  strong  structure  capable  of  bearing  the  weight  of  the 

equipment

• Install in safe, easy to reach locations
• If possible, install at eye-level so that the display and status LEDs can be seen 

easily

• Install at a height that considers the heaviness of the equipment. Failure to meet 

this condition could result in problems during servicing, unless suitable means are 

provided to carry out the operation

• Install vertically with a maximum inclination of 5° (forward or backward). If this 

condition cannot be met, the inverter could undergo derating due to high tempe-

rature because of poor heat dissipation.

•  The  installation  must  take  account  of  any  electrical  devices  (e.g.  lamps, 

switches, etc.) which must be at least 60cm from the equipment. These distan

-

ces must be maintained also to facilitate the circulation of the air needed to cool 

the unit and to facilitate the operations to install/maintain hardware and software 

which is done by dismantling the covers placed on the front.

• For a multiple installation, position the inverters side by side.
• If the space available does not allow this arrangement, position the inverters in 

a staggered arrangement as shown in the figure so that heat dissipation is not 

affected by other inverters.
