Installation
Bracket Installation:

- Open the battery enclosure and remove the accessories kit.
- Assemble the bracket using M5x12 screws.
- Attach the bracket to the back of the battery system (Torque: 3 N·m).
- Drill holes in the floor, embed anchor bolts, and affix the cabinet.
- Install the bracket on the wall using M6x50 tapping screws.
Inverter Installation:
- Remove the battery seal cap (BAT/COM) and communication cable panel.
- Hang the inverter on the bracket.
- Fasten the inverter to the bracket with M5x12 screws (Torque: 3 N·m).
- Connect the inverter and battery cabinet with the conduit and screw kit.
- Plug in battery modules from the bottom up and fasten with M4x8 screws (Torque: 1.2 N·m).
Wiring

- Connect the battery system to the inverter with a ground wire.
- Make REF, BAT-, and BAT+ connections from the inverter to the battery access panel through the conduit.
- Connect the DC 12V wire between the inverter and the battery access panel.
- Connect the BCMS port of the inverter to the CANBUS connection on the Battery Status Panel.
- Complete connections for Grid, Load, and Generator.
- Connect the system to the network switch using a CAT5 or higher Ethernet cable.
