precautions. support the cabinet, and use a level instrument
2. Use insulated tools during installation and operations. to check that the cabinet is level.
3. Only qualified professionals or trained personnel are allowed to install, commission, and maintain the
battery cabinet. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage may occur, and the caused battery
cabinet damage is not covered under any warranty or service agreement.

1. If the battery cabinet is installed but not powered on, manually powered off, or discharged, avoid
keeping it at low SOC for an extended period. Recharge the battery cabinet in a timely manner
according to the instructions in "Power-On Commissioning > Recharge Requirements for Batteries with
Low SOC" in the user manual. Otherwise, batteries may be damaged due to overdischarge.
2. It is recommended that an independent battery room be used. Before installing battery modules,
prepare fire extinguishing facilities, such as firefighting sands and liquid carbon dioxide fire
extinguishers, according to the construction regulations. Before operation, ensure that the battery room Removing the Pallet
is equipped with a fire extinguishing system that complies with local regulations.

battery modules as an example.)
6. Check the insulation between the battery
strings and the cabinet.
It is recommended that you use the DC voltage mode
of a multimeter to measure the voltage between the
battery tray and the positive and negative terminals of
each battery string respectively. If the readings are less
than 6 V DC, the insulation is good. Otherwise, contact
technical support engineers.

7. After checking that the battery strings are well

insulated, close the front cover of each battery module.
