2.4 Initial Inspection of Material List
The system components supplied with the energy storage 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.
2.4.1 Energy Storage System (ESS) contents
CAUTION! Handle and remove the ESS cover with care to prevent damage to the display and
power outlet. Raise the ESS to its upright position prior to removing the cover. When shipped with
the battery module pre-installed, the ESS must be handled such that the battery maintains an upright
position as identified on the outside packaging.
IMPORTANT! Packaging materials used to protect systems with a pre-installed battery in transport must be removed
prior to installation. Refer to section 4.1 for more details regarding unpacking of the ESS.
Figure 1: ESS package contents. Battery may be supplied separately.
2.4.2 EMS and energy meter contents
The ESS is supplied with two different metering options at the time of order; either direct connect type or CT connection
type. The kits supplied are not interchangeable with the EMS operation. Refer to Appendix A for installation information
regarding direct connect meters or Appendix B for CT connection type meters.
3 Installation Site Preparation
Before installing the ESS components, read all instructions and warnings in this manual.
IMPORTANT! All electrical installation work must be performed in accordance with local building and electrical codes.
WARNING! Isolate the PCS from all energy sources prior to electrical installation by means of disconnects, breakers or
connectors. Failure to properly isolate either AC or DC sources may result in serious injury or death. This system will
generate an AC voltage at the off-grid terminals when the DC source is applied.
CAUTION! The ESS cabinet weighs up to 96 kg with
the battery installed.. Handle with care.
NOTE: All interconnecting cables are limited in length.
CAUTION! Do not install in direct sunlight or near
sources of heat. Battery performance is dependent
upon operating ambient temperature. Radiant heat
absorbed in direct sunlight will greatly reduce the
performance of the battery. The battery module is rated
for operation between -10C to +45C. For long term
performance, an ambient room temperature between
15 to 30C is recommended.
3.1 ESS Installation clearances
The physical installation of the cabinets requires the layout planning and installation of the system components in the
available installation space.
