2 Installation Planning
Before installing the Evolve Hub, read all instructions and warnings in this manual. The Evolve Hub can be installed in an
indoor and outdoor
non-corrosive environment (not marine environment). Wall mounting hardware is not included.
CAUTION! All electrical installation work should be performed in accordance with local building and electrical codes.
WARNING! Isolate the Evolve Hub 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.
NOTE: Communication cables between the Evolve Hub and the battery system are limited in length. The Evolve Hub
should be installed within 2 ft of the battery system.
CAUTION! Do not install in direct sunlight.
2.1 Installation clearances between the Evolve Hub and the battery system
The Evolve Hub includes a 10 foot communication cable that connects the hub to the battery system. If the installation is
constrained such that the Evolve Hub must be located greater than 24” from the battery system, consult the Evolve ESS or
Evolve LFP installation manual for instructions on creating an extended communication cable.
(max dimension with
supplied EMS
communication cable.)
