18.GL48100 address

We use address switches to 
configure different GL48100 
addresses.

The top/middle/bottom battery 
addresses are 1000/0100/1100

Please refer to Appendix I to 
configure the addresses if more 
than one GL48100s need to be 
connected into a parallel energy 
storage system.

Note: 
The master address 
1000 is responsible 
for communication 
with an inverter.

1)Please configure the address switch when the GL48100 is power off.
2)When the switch is on the “ON” position, it means 1. Here is the address table for 
   three GL48100 parallel operating system. Please refer to GL48100’s user manual  
   for more details.

19.connect the communication 
     cable to an inverter

Use a 1.8m default 
communication cable to 
connect the master battery and 
its inverter.
Use 

CAN/RS482-2 port. 

There are two identical ports 
at 

Note:

1)Please refer to the Pin 
   definition on the right
a.Pin4 - CANH
b.Pin5-CANL
c.Pin 1&8 - B
d.Pin 2&7 - A

2)The inverter’s BMS 
   communication port pin’s 
   definition might differ 
   from GL48100’s CAN/
   RS485-2 pin definition. 

   If so, please use 
   an Ethernet cable to make 
   a special communication 
   cable

pin

)

CAN/485-2 Port Definition:

2

)

When inverter’s BMS communication definition is different from GL48100’s 

      CAN/485-2 pin definition.
a. Cut off one end of the ethernet cable by a scissor

b. choose CANH&CANL

well taped the wires.

b. Or choose one pair of 
    RS485A and RS485B

*  We recommend use CAN port as the communication port.

Connect inverter BMS communication port to GL48100 CAN/485-2

b. CAN communication: please 
    refer the inverter’s BMS Pin 
    definition, wire the CANH & 
    CANL into correct pin 
    position in RJ45 connector.

c. RS 485 communication: 
    push RS485-A & RS485-B
    into their pin position in   
    RJ45 connector.

14.Open the side covers on the left and 
     right sides of GL48100

Make sure the power button & circuit 
breaker is off.

Tool: Philips screwdriver

15.Connect the power cable

1)Connect the power cable connector into 
   the positive/negative ports.

2)Tighten the screws on the 
   busbar

(Tighten Torque: 5.5±0.5Nm or 

   55±5kgf.cm) 

put the excess cable length 

   on the left.
Use a cable tie to organize these cables.

Note:

The power cables to the inverter or other battery set are not shown in the 
above picture.
Please make sure the screws are tightened with the busbar. If the screws are 
loose, it may cause overheating problems or safety accidents.

16.Install the DC junction box top cover

Please tighten the screws on both sides of 
the DC junction box.

Please refer to step 11-1

17.

Install the parallel communication cable

     The length of the parallel communication 
     cable length is 0.75m. Its port is “RS485-1”, 
     please refer to 

 on the left.

Note:
a.There are two identical ports at 

 for 

   communication in or out.
b.If there are more than one battery sets need 
   to be connected in parallel. Please refer to 
   Appendix I for cable connections.
c.

If needs to change the internal inverter 

   communication protocol, please refer to 
   chapter 4 and switch the needed 
   protocol before connecting a 
   communication cable.

Use a cable tie to organize the communication 
cable.(Please refer step 2 above)

Put the excess cable length in the left.

Tighten Torque:5.5±0.5Nm
