Battery Settings and Communication Cable Installation
CAUTION: Before connecting the battery racks to the Any-Grid(s), please follow the installation instructions in
this chapter step by step. The battery, AC input source, AC output loads and PV input must remain
disconnected until instructed otherwise.
The battery settings in this chapter are recommendations only. They are intended to keep the batteries within their
operational limits (maximum voltage, maximum current, etc). These settings can be adjusted to optimize the
performance of your particular system, but must be kept within the limits of the battery specifications.
1.
Purchase the PSW-H-BAT-CABLE-PYLON-2 or PSW-H-BAT-CABLE-PYLON from a Phocos dealer. This cable is
designed specifically for connecting the Any-Grid PSW-H to Pylontech battery racks.
2.
Ensure the battery racks are turned off.
3.
Dip Switches location
Locate the four Dip switches as shown above at position
➊
(position may vary on different battery rack
models). Each switch can be set ON in the top position or OFF in the bottom position. Set the Dip switches as
follows, depending on the number of battery clusters / groups:
Dip 1
Dip 2
Dip 3
Dip 4
Group address
ON
RS-485 baud
rate = 9600
OFF

Single group only. The master battery rack must have
this setting. Slave battery racks should have all Dip
switches set to OFF.
ON

Two-group configuration. The master battery rack in
the first group must have this setting. Slave battery
racks should have all Dip switches set to OFF.
OFF

4.
Ensure the battery racks are still turned off. Connect the Any-Grid(s) to the battery power (positive and
negative) terminals with the correct polarity.
5.
If you are using the PSW-H-BAT-CABLE-PYLON-2 cable, it is marked with a “PYLON” label on one of the two
sides:
Connect this side to the master battery rack’s “RS485” port and the other side into the Any-Grid display
panel’s “BMS” port
If instead you are using the PSW-H-BAT-CABLE-PYLON, it is not labelled. For this cable it does not matter
which orientation you choose, as it functions in both orientations:
