00 Title
Before starting the connection operations, make sure that the internal DC line switch is disconnected.
Before starting the connection operations, make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the “0” position. In this
way the automatic battery switch is controlled and the battery lines are disconnected.
Use battery cables with cross-section of 6 mm
2
and with a maximum length of 3 m per cable. Use in the
quick connectors supplied to connect the cables to the battery inputs of the xStorage Home 3P.
Failure to
comply with the following indications can lead to dangerous overheating of the connection cables
as well as non-compliance with the EMC standard requirements.
Use FTP or STP CAT5 cable with RJ45 connector for communication connections between the xStorage
Home 3P system and the battery with a maximum length of 3 m.
Failure to comply with the following
indications can lead to dangerous malfunctions of the battery as well as non-compliance with the
EMC standard requirements.
1. Make sure the battery is turned off.
2. Connect the battery cables to the xStorage Home 3P respecting the indicated polarity (red for the
positive terminal, black for the negative terminal).
3. Connect an FTP or STP CAT5 cable with RJ45 connector between the BMS connector of the
xStorage Home 3P and the battery communication connector. For the appropriate settings, please
refer to the xStorage Home 3P user interface display manual, “BATTERY” section.
4. Where required, connect the battery cables to the battery according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and using any connectors provided in the battery connection kit.
Batteries must be located in specific areas reserved for them, in compliance with local regulations.
During the wiring operations, isolate the battery poles to prevent short circuits. Shorted poles can cause
sparks, fire hazard or damage to batteries.
The incorrect connection of the battery cables (polarity reversal) does not damage the xStorage Home 3P
thanks to the integrated protection, but disables the operation of the system until the correct polarity of the
connection is restored. The incorrect connection message is displayed on the LCD.
In order to minimize electromagnetic disturbances, it is required to install the EMI suppression clip ferrite core
supplied in the box on the cables connected to the BAT input.
6.5.1 Reduction of electromagnetic disturbances – EMI suppression ferrite cores installation
Refer to the installation instructions shown in
Figure 12
.
The xStorage Home 3P may be not compliant with the EMC standards requirements if the ferrite cores are
not installed according to the instructions provided.
