Installation

Preparation: Use a stud finder to locate wall studs. The battery wall-mount bracket requires at least 4 bolts supported by wall studs. If studs are not in ideal locations, add structural supports to handle the weight of the battery (130 kg) and inverter (62.5 kg).

Mounting:

1. Use the provided drilling template to mark hole locations for the battery and inverter wall-mount brackets.
2. Drill holes and secure the wall-mount brackets.
3. Attach the battery to the wall-mount bracket.
4. Unscrew the four conduit box mounting screws on top of the battery.
5. Place the conduit box on top of the battery and secure it with the mounting screws.
6. Attach the inverter to its wall-mount bracket.

Wiring

Single Battery:

1. Pass the positive and negative battery cables from the inverter through the conduit box.
2. Connect the lugs to the inverter's battery ports.
3. Unscrew the battery terminal cover plates.
4. Connect the cable connectors to the battery terminals.
5. Connect the CAT6 communication cable from the inverter's CAN port to the battery's COM2 port.

Multiple Batteries:

Paralleling batteries requires the HELIOS ESS Parallel Wire Kit (950-0068). A maximum of three batteries can be connected in parallel with conduit boxes. Follow the specific wiring diagrams provided in the manual to connect batteries at opposite ends of the battery bank.

Communication Setup

There are two methods for closed-loop communication:

• With LYNK II Gateway: Connect the inverter to the LYNK II Gateway, then to the batteries.
• Without LYNK II Gateway: Connect the inverter directly to the first battery, then daisy-chain the batteries using CAT6 cables. A termination resistor may be required at the end of the LYNK network.
