5.
After testing the SimpliPHI Battery’s voltage, turn the battery’s built-in circuit breaker back to the OFF
(0) position.
6.
Wire the SimpliPHI Battery bank with all the included SimpliPHI Batteries’ built-in breakers in the OFF
(0) position. All electrical wiring must be in accordance with Section 4.6 – Electrical Wiring and all
communications wiring must be in accordance with Section 4.7 – Communications Wiring.
CAUTION:
All SimpliPhi Power Battery products are designed to work exclusively in parallel.
Never connect in series to achieve higher voltages. Wiring in series will destroy the batteries
and Violate the terms of the Warranty.
Verify polarity at all connections before energizing system. Reverse polarity at the SimpliPHI
Battery terminals will destroy the SimpliPHI batteries and Violate the terms of the Warranty.
7.
Confirm all loads are turned OFF. Disconnect the inverter’s AC Output breaker or turn off the breaker
at the top of your loads’ breaker panel.
8.
The main DC disconnect in the inverter’s power panel should still be in the OFF position.
9.
Turn all battery circuit breaker switches to the ON (I) position and wait 20 seconds for the BMS to re-
boot.
10.
Turn the main DC disconnect in the inverter’s power panel ON.
11.
At this point, the inverter may come on automatically in standby mode, or the inverter might need to be
manually turned on. Check the inverter user manual to determine functionality.
12.
Activate the SimpliPHI Battery’s networking connection within the Inverter.
13.
Then program the equipment for those settings that are not automatically communicated by the
SimpliPHI to the BoS equipment. SimpliPhi’s settings are specified in the relevant SimpliPHI
Integration Guides specific to the inverter you are utilizing. (

documentation/)
and are generally outlined in Section 5.0 – Programming of this Manual.
CAUTION:
SimpliPhi Batteries must operate in conjunction with properly programmed
Balance of System equipment. Operating the batteries with equipment that has not been
programmed to SimpliPhi’s specified parameters will damage the SimpliPHI batteries and
Violate the terms of the Warranty.
CAUTION:
Charge the batteries fully. When first commissioning the battery system, the
batteries must be charged fully before connecting any loads. Neglecting to charge the
batteries fully when first commissioning the battery system will Violate the terms of the
Warranty.
CAUTION:
Remember that charging the batteries in sub-freezing conditions will Violate the
terms of the Warranty.
14.
Battery charging may be accomplished via the inverter/charger using an AC power source such as the grid or
a generator, or via a charge controller or integrated MPPT using power from a connected solar PV array.
