SYSTEM DESIGN BY EXPERT TECHNICIANS

Systems Design is the process of defining the architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and load data for a system to meet
specified requirements.
For a solar system these components are the photovoltaic modules, the inverter / charge controller and the batteries as well as the
different interfaces of these components.
These systems must be integrated with each other in accordance with their respective technical rules and must be compatible with
each other.
The design must take into account the functional guarantees and performance guarantees in order to guarantee the end customer
full satisfaction of the product he will use.
For safety reasons, if the battery does not operate at the temperatures, currents and DOD specified in the performance guarantee
requirements, it must be inspected with appropriate frequency according to the conditions of use applied.
WeCo bases guarantees and safety according to the standard conditions of use described above, heavier uses and at suboptimal
temperatures will have direct effects on the premature aging of the battery and with it the intrinsic safety.

Battery Operation
There are several factors that affect the operation of the battery that could impact its ability to deliver capacity and
life expectancy.

STORAGE
Each module is suitably packed in original DG9 cardboard box to be stored inside in a clean, level, dry and cool place.
The recommended storage temperature is 25°C.
The battery can be stored in the range of -10 °C + 45 °C, but inspection and charging is required every three months (the maximum
charging current is 0.1 C at a temperature not lower than 15 °C).
The maximum SoC during storage is 30% and, in any case, must not exceed the regulations in force in the country.
for transportation might be required to be lower in accordance with the ADR / DG9 Rules.
*Inspection parameters – identify the State of Charge (SOC), look for any alarms and address, accordingly, look for physical damage
to the Battery Module. **Charge at 0.1C and discharge to the Shipping SOC prescription. If shipped by sea, you must refer to the
UN38.3 standard, if by road, refer to the local codes.

Operating Temperature and Thresholds

Many chemical reactions are affected by temperature and this is also true for the reaction that occurs in a WeCo storage battery.
The chemical reaction of a lithium ion is slowed down by the lowering of the temperature of the electrolyte contained in the
battery, which results in a lower capacity and a higher rate of long-term performance decay in direct proportion to the departure
from the optimal temperature prescribed by WeCo.
A new battery providing 100% of the nominal capacity at 25°C (77°F) will provide only about 75% of the nominal capacity at 10°C.
At temperatures below -7°C (+19.4°F) the BMS will only allow 0.05C of charge current only for emergency circumstances; at
temperatures below -10°C(14°F) charging is prohibited.
These thresholds do not mean that the battery warranty also applies under such conditions, although permitted by the BMS.
The logic of the BMS does not coincide with the prescribes and thresholds must be from those customers who intend to benefitting
from the performance guarantees.
The respect or not of the performance warranty thresholds to benefit the performance guarantees is up to the end customer, while
the limitations inherent in the battery safety thresholds are set by the BMS as extreme values.
The warranty conditions (Functional and Performance) are well described in the document ''Limited Warranty'' and must be read
before purchasing the product.

For example, the functional guarantee (pursuant to European legislation) prescribes that the installation of batteries with IP 20 and
30 must be indoors, ie indoors, with humidity and controlled temperature, while the performance guarantee prescribes the charge
and discharge must be carried out between 20 ° C (68°F) and 25 ° C (77°F) at 0.5C; any use outside of these requirements is not
covered by the performance guarantee.
Most battery capacity/life issues can be traced to improper charging. Improper charging settings may lead to an overcharging or
undercharging condition, any wrong charging process will affect the life of the battery or its ability to retain energy.
The lower the C-Rate of the charging/discharging process the more the battery will benefit from long term performance.

Depth of Discharge (DoD)

Depth of discharge is a function of design. The deeper the discharge per cycle, the shorter the life of the battery. A cycle is a
discharge and its subsequent recharge regardless of depth of discharge, it considers the energy IN and OUT.
The lower the DOD value, the higher the battery longevity and the capacity retention over the time.
The depth of discharge is a function that is implemented through the setting of the hybrid inverter, compatible with WeCo.
The deeper the discharge, (e.g. DoD 100% means completely draining the battery), the shorter the battery life over its estimated
lifetime.
A cycle is a discharge and its subsequent recharge regardless of the depth of discharge.
The number of cycles and the specific DoD will affect the expected life in years that the battery/battery system will provide before
replacement.

To maximize the remaining capacity over the useful life of the battery, it is recommended to set the DoD of the inverter to the value

8
 WECO 5K3-XP-EMEA

of that will not exceed 90% , this will help the maintenance of health (SoH) for longer period of time.
The capacity of the battery is not constant at every cycle and may vary based on many factors, the energy degradation is not
constant over the time or cycles and is heavily affected by the temperature, C-Rate and DoD (depth of Discharge).
Typically, the decrease in capacity every 500 cycles conducted as per the STC is set to be in the range -2~3% however the First 500
cycles are typically affected by higher decrease in capacity compared to the following cycles. After 7000 cycles the residual capacity
shall be 70% (if the battery is correctly used within the recommended values and maintained over years.
Before buying this product read the warranty terms available on our website.
The functional guarantee indicates the maximum DoD up to 100% because both the logic and the battery hardware have been
verified and tested to be achieved (each inverter protocol might have different requirements and the 100% DoD could not be
achieved as per the agreement between the inverter manufacturer and WeCo.
Performance guarantee sets the maximum value of DoD % (to be set in the inverter) must not exceed the value of 90% at 25°C 0.5C
without prejudice to the previous requirements.

C-Rate
Value of the Current used to charge and discharge the battery is expressed in C (1C = 100A, 0,1C= 10A in case of the 5K3 100Ah
battery).

Charge/Discharge
Most capacity/battery life issues can be traced back to improper charging also due to improper installation. Improper charging
settings can lead to an overload condition or excessive discharge or current out of range for temperature condition and SOC%.
WeCo guarantees only batteries connected via BMS CAN line to the compatible inverter (see compatibility list on
www.wecobatteries.com) and used according to the warranty requirements published on the site.
CAN/BMS communication is essential both for reasons of active and passive safety and to be able to conduct all active control
interactions with the inverter.
The BMS has dynamic algorithms that vary according to current or previous conditions stored during the discharge or stand by
charging phases.

Modern inverters / charge controllers are equipped with CAN / BMS interface and no special settings are required to charge and
discharge the battery, except for the setting of the charge / discharge power and the DoD% (if the customer wants to comply with
the STC requirements he must read and comply with the warranty conditions defined STC and set them on the inverter).
The maintenance at optimal temperature instead must be guaranteed by the technical room and air conditioning equipment
installed in it, the inverter is not able to interact with the settings in reference to the temperature of the environment in which it is
installed, also because inverter and battery could be in different environments exposed to different environmental factors.

Guarantee (Functional Guarantee against manufacturing defects) and Performance Guarantee

Although the BMS of the battery allows a wide range of use in terms of both temperature and charging currents, this should not
be interpreted as an implicit authorization to use the battery at these levels with reference to the performance guarantee.
For the purposes of the performance guarantee, it is mandatory that the battery is used within the range of temperature and
current, charge/discharge current and depth of discharge indicated in the warranty and also reported in these paragraphs.
Any other use, even if permitted by BMS thresholds, is not covered by a performance guarantee.

Firmware Updates
In case of firmware updates to the BMS as a result of improvements, corrections or for other reasons, this manual and warranties
may be updated accordingly. Check the critical firmware release notes on www.wecobatteries.com with your distributors; critical
release firmware must be installed as per warranty requirements: To get support if your system is not equipped with a WiFi module
please contact [email protected].
All WeCo batteries produced from the beginning of 2019 can be equipped with a WiFi system for connection on WeCo Cloud, this
solution ensures that they are always updated to the latest FW version notified in the APP, the Upgrade function must still be driven
by the user as during the update the battery must be turned off for safety reasons and it is therefore necessary to plan this action in
such a way that no inconvenience is created for users of the system.
Buit-In and External Dongle having the same functionalities described above.
The FW update can also be performed locally via Bluetooth App, even in the absence of WiFi; you must have a 4G connection and
keep the Bluetooth App open until the App appears: ''NEW FIRMWARE AVAILABLE'' after which you can reach the battery in an area
not covered by data signal and/or Wi-Fi and perform the FW update.

Information in this Manual

About this Manual
This manual relates only to the 5K3-XP (EUROPE VERSION) Stackable Battery Module. Only trained and authorized
personnel should install, troubleshoot, or assist WECO in local repairs of these Battery Modules. This manual should
be reviewed in its entirety for proper storage, installation, and operation of the Battery Module.

Use Range and Voltage Range

This installation guidance applies for the High Voltage and Low Voltage Inverters.
Make sure to use the correct inverter charging parameters before connecting to the battery.
Each WeCo 5K3-XP Battery Module has two different circuits and depending on the inverter voltage range, the installer must
choose the correct battery configuration for that range, never use the LOW VOLTAGE screw terminal for serial connection, never
use the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal for LOW VOLTAGE connection or to recharge the battery as the HV CIRCUIT on the Battery Circuit
Is not protected by contactor or MOSFET for Overvoltage (This protection function is made by the HV BOX).
HV BOX for EU (EMEA VERSION) is designed to operate from 80 up to 750Vdc, if you need a HIGH Voltage HV BOX XP please order
the HV BOX XP type B (EU type B version with Voltage Ranges starting from 150Vdc to 1000Vdc).

Additional Information
Product specifications subject to change without notice.

IMPORTANT NOTICES：
HV BOX (EMEA VERSION) has a minimum startup voltage of 80 Vdc, (two 5K3XP modules in serial connection) however it is
suggested to use a minimum of four modules to have an adequate buffer of energy to prevent low voltage shutdown of the HV
BOX during a long period of the inverter on standby, or due to solar charger inactivity.
The Start Up of the Inverters is typically above 100Vdc, make sure to consider the Inverter Battery Voltage Range Before setting
up the battery Cluster.
The HV BOX can turn on with a minimum of 80Vdc however it is mandatory to comply with the inverter Nominal Voltage. Below
80Vdc the HV BOX will shuts down and the safety protection cannot be granted.
In an HV system the cluster total usable energy might be reduced due the imbalances between modules, always consider to fully
balance the single modules before composing the HV cluster to maximize the energy usage of the cluster.
NOTE:
A difference of 0,5V between modules connected in series can result in over 40% of less usable capacity due the BMS intervention
for Higher or Lower voltage limit of the single module into the HV CLUSTER.

warnings as detailed in this document. If any of the safety precautions or procedures detailed in this manual are not fully
understood by the reader, the reader must not perform any operation on the battery until they have contacted the WeCo
technical service representative for clarification and confirmation of understanding of the correct procedure.
The safety guidelines included in this document may not include or consider all the regulations in your area of
installation/operation. When installing and operating this product, the installer must review and consider applicable Federal, State
and Local laws and regulations in accordance with the industry standards of the product.
Installation personnel shall not wear metallic objects, such as watches, jewelry and other metal items when performing installations.
Do not store un-insulated tools in pockets or tool belt while working in vicinity of battery to avoid short circuits and personal injuries.

CAUTION:
The weight of an individual WeCo 5K3-XP Battery Module is 119 lb /54 kg. Please use original packaging and follow all safety
precautions if the Battery Module is to be moved, to avoid damage to the product and personal injury.
Relocating a battery to another system is not suggested as the aging and the differences in usage might affect the safety of the
system when connected together. Always use new batteries for expansions of existing systems. Expansions of existing systems
are allowed within 300 cycles or 1 year.

ATTENTION:
The typical high voltage configuration should have a minimum number of 4 modules in order to reach at least 200 Vdc in series.
However, the HV BOX XP type A can operate starting from 80Vdc, but only certain high voltage inverters can start with such low
voltage.
WeCo recommends operating for small scale ESS (up to 120 kWh) using the TYPE A HV BOX (80-750Vdc).
The typical Voltage HV Voltage is between 150 and 750Vdc however some inverter requires lower voltage ranges, so the TYPE
A HV BOX is still suitable in the range 80~ 750Vdc).
For Commercial Scale applications the most common Voltage Range is between 150 and 1000Vdc this voltage ranges requires
the TYPE B HV BOX (150~1000Vdc operative range).
Make sure the String Voltage does not exceed the inverter max Voltage to avoid major damages.
ATTENTION:
The maximum number of modules that can be stacked is 8 on each tower (due to the tower height and stability) and the
maximum number of modules composing an HV string must not exceed the HV BOX nominal input Voltage.
As a serial connection is possible to connect up to 12 modules in series distributed in two towers under the same HV BOX type A
and up to 16 modules in serial connection under the HV BOX type B.
Before stacking the modules make sure the support surface is strong enough to support the weight, always consult a local civil
engineer before installing.

2.5 Low Voltage Parallel Set Up Overview

5K3-XP can be connected in parallel up to 15 modules, this process requires a full knowledge of the product.

DIP Configuration for LOW Voltage Parallel

CAUTION:
For a single cluster installation, it is necessary that the DIP switches of the batteries are set as below.
All switches are set to “OFF”

with the only exception of the last module that must have the DIP 6 Enabled to activate the Terminator
Resistance (See below)

After setting the DIP Switch, the Battery Module must be restarted for the DIP switch changes to take effect.
• Once the DIP Switches of the single cluster have been set, it will be possible to perform the connection of the earth
terminal between the modules and the general earth rod and subsequently it will be possible to connect the RS485
B Port of the Master battery with the RS 485 A Port of the SUB-1 battery using the RJ45 cable supplied.
• Continue to connect the RS485 ports in sequence (Port-B to Port-A…. Port-B to Port-A) up to the last module.
• Set the Power Switches on all batteries to the ON (1) position.
• Press the RUN BUTTON of the MASTER ONLY to initiate the cluster automatic start up. There is NO NEED to press
any of the Sub Module Run Buttons as they will be configured automatically when the Master Run Button is pressed.
• Wait until the Run Buttons on all modules are a STEADY GREEN.

Switch off all batteries of cluster and proceed with the power connections using the cables or BUS BAR (accessory) if you are
installing in stackable mode. Make sure alle the batteries are turned off before connecting cables.

The connection between the INVERTER and the MASTER / LAST MODULE must be performed using cables.

2.5.1 Auto ID Assignment and DIP Configuration for LOW Voltage Single Cluster (Parallel Connection)

STEP 1
ACTIVATING THE BMS FROM THE POWER SWITCH
It will be necessary to activate all the batteries by switching on the POWER SWITCH (ON= position 1)

TURN ON THE POWER SWITCH TO

ENABLE THE BMS

STEP 2
AUTO WAKE-UP PROCESS (Pressing the RUN BUTTON)
Once all the connections have been checked, it is possible to start the Battery Module by enabling the automatic wake-up process.
Press the RUN button of the MASTER battery, the RUN BUTTON will Blink and will wake-up all the slaves batteries connected.
This process might take around 2-3 seconds per battery (Do not turn on the SUB manually as the automatic process will assign a battery ID
in sequence).

PRESS THE RUN BUTTON 2 Sec.

TO ENABLE THE AUTO WAKE UP

It is essential to check the startup progression and make sure that all LEDs of the RUN BUTTON are ON and showing steady GREEN lights
after the
wake-up process (the entire process might take up to 30-45 seconds in case of 15 batteries).
During the startup process, all the RUN BUTTONS will blink until the last module sends the final consent to the MASTER to enable the
contactors.

ALL RUN BUTTONS MUST BE STEADY GREEN

AFTER THE START-UP COMPLETION

If during the process, one or more Battery Modules will not turn ON or if the LED does not become steady, it is mandatory
to switch off the MASTER and check all the connections between PORTS RS485 B and A.
Make sure to turn ON and OFF every Battery Module after setting up the DIP switches.
In case of any anomaly during this process, it is necessary to shut down the entire cluster and repeat the procedure from
STEP 1.

ATTENTION:
All the SUB MODULES will automatically shut down (contactor Open) within 60 seconds from the moment that the master is tuned off,
the RUN BUTTON will blink for longer, to shut down manually put the main switch in (0) position.
To completely turn off the cluster, it is compulsory to switch OFF all the POWER SWITCHES of each module.
The RUN Button might blink for several minutes after the circuit opening process (contactor open): this is a normal process necessary to
complete any ongoing process between batteries and between master and the cloud service.
To terminate this process without waiting for the normal process it is possible but not recommended to turn off each module by acting
on the rocker switch (zero position).

which point the low battery LED will go out.

2.7 Parallel Battery Configuration

1. The voltage difference between any of the Battery Modules in the stack must not be greater than 2V,
otherwise the BMS will not allow the batteries to be activated in a parallel connection.
2. SoC of each battery in the stack must be the same (Check the SoC of each individual battery module before
connecting in parallel).
3. The power cabling between the Battery Modules must be in accordance with section 5.6 of this manual.
4. All DIP switches are configured in accordance with this manual.
5. The RS485 inter battery data connections must be properly connected as per section 5.6 of this manual.
The data connection “Daisy Chain” must start from PORT-B of the master battery (do no install the RS485
on the PORT-A of the master battery as it will result in a fault).
6. Connect the CAN PORT of the master Battery Module with the CAN PORT of the inverter and make sure
that the communication is working properly by checking the inverter display.
7. Before activating the system, the operator should check the cable connections carefully and make
sure that all safety procedures are respected. Check the inverter settings and connection before
turning on. In case of an inverter without communication, make sure to set the voltage and current

After one minute the RED Fault lights on the FRONT LED bars and the GREEN RUN Button lights on all sub batteries
will go off.
Turn OFF the POWER SWITCH of each battery.
The parallel battery system has shutdown properly.

The RUN button might flash for several minutes, this process is normal when there is an upgrade ongoing or when
there is a new FW detected.
Even if the contactor is OPEN, (OPEN CIRCUIT) the BMS can still operate in background, please let the process
complete and wait for the RUN BUTTON to stop flashing waiting for the automatic shutdown.
A forced shut down is possible by putting the main switch in (0) position, this might cause the interruption of FW
upgrade pushed from the APP or from the Local software XP MANAGER.

NOTICE：

When a Master battery is offline in a fault state or has been manually shutdown, the entire cluster will go
offline until the Master comes back online.
To restart the Cluster, it is mandatory to repeat the Cluster Start Up procedure. First make sure to shut down
all batteries by setting the power switch to the off (0) position, then set all power switches to the ON (1)
position and press the master RUN BUTTON to enable the startup process again.

NOTICE：
In a parallel battery system, we strongly advise not to switch off individual sub batteries when the
system is running, either in Charge or Discharge Mode as this process might affect the

3.4 High Voltage Module Configuration

ATTENTION: The High Voltage mode mandates that the Battery Modules must be connected in series.

ATTENTION: The following table provides the possible module configurations. NO OTHER
configurations are permitted.

ATTENTION: Before connecting an HV inverter with the HV BOX terminal, always check the
inverter input range. (Min and Max Voltage).

ATTENTION: a serial connection cluster is efficient only if all battery modules are individually
fully charged in LOW VOLTAGE up to SOC 100%, this process will allow a proper equalization
between modules of the same cluster. The HV string preparation is an important step of the
commissioning of an HV system, the installation of an HV system must include the equalization
of the tower before delivering to the end user.

With more than Two HV clusters it is compulsory to use the HV HUB as CAN COMBINER
Multi HV Box Connection
General Instructions
In a Multi Cluster Connection with only one inverter CAN Connection Line, it is necessary to use the HV HUB and connect in
Daisy Chain all the HV BOXES of each Cluster.

When more clusters are connected together, it is necessary to use an HV HUB combiner to collect all the battery information
and transfer it to the CAN inverter.
The CAN communication between the various HV BOXES has to be in Daisy Chain, starting from the HV BOX address 00 until
the last module.
The last HV BOX needs to be connected via CAN to the BMS Port of the Inverter.

In HV, it is possible to connect up to 10 Clusters composed of 13 or 16 modules each, according with HV BOX Voltage Input limit.
(Max 8 cluster with DT8-24).
After composing the various clusters of the system by following the instructions on the previous pages, it will be necessary to
set the addresses of each HV BOX starting from address 00 and continuing in sequence up to address 16.

HV CLUSTERS CONNECTION STEPS

1. Connect the last HV BOX with the HV HUB via the CAN PORT 2A of the end of series HV BOX and the CAN INPUT PORT of
the HV HUB.
2. Set the DIP Switches of the HV HUB with the sequence 00000000. (ID 00) to the inverter CAN input.
3. Stack the HV HUB on top of the last cluster HV BOX and power it from the AC power supply 230Vac -12Vdc provided.
4. Connect the CAN PORT 2A from the last HV BOX to the CAN INPUT PORT of the HV HUB.
5. Proceed connecting the CAN PORT 2B of the last HV BOX to the CAN PORT 2B of the previous one up to the first HV BOX.
6. Connect the CAN/BMS PORT of the HV HUB to the Inverter BMS PORT (follow the inverter manual for PIN OUT of the CAN
L/H position).
7. Initiate the HV CLUSTER Start-Up procedure by following the Single Cluster procedure for each cluster in the System.
8. To enable the HV Start-Up procedure, it is necessary to SWITCH ON the Main Breaker of the HV BOX. Before doing this, it is
compulsory to inspect all the power connections of each cluster and the common HV bus bar.
9. All the SUB MODULES of each cluster will automatically WAKE UP after enabling the HV BOX main Breaker.
10. During the Cluster Start-Up process the HV HUB POWER LED LIGHT will blink until the last cluster is completely turned on
and all modules will display steady GREEN Light on the RUN BUTTON.

If one or more modules of the cluster does not come online, the cluster HV BOX will send a WARNING message to the HV HUB
and the entire system will enter into IDLE MODE. To clear this status, it is necessary to inspect the modules that are causing the
wake-up interruption, fix the error and repeat the entire Start-Up process from Step 1 (All HV BOXES must be Turned OFF and
ALL Modules must be switched OFF before restarting the procedure).

ATTENTION
DO NOT RECHARGE A SINGLE MODULE FROM THE HV TERMINALS, ONLY USE THE LOW VOLTAGE TERMINALS

It is extremely important that every module within the cluster has the same voltage.
Before creating an HV cluster it is mandatory to fully charge each individual module from the LV terminals
The installation of an HV System is very complex and requires particular attention to the preparation of the individual modules
that make up the cluster.
A single module with a voltage lower than a few mVolts compared to the others could generate a performance reduction of the
entire system.
Fully charge each single module up to 100%, after 30-40 minutes the voltage will drop to around 53,5Vdc, this is a normal
behaviour of the LiFePo4 Chemistry, when the voltage of all modules is consistent it is possible to make up the HV cluster.

75
 WECO 5K3-XP-EMEA

Preconditions
The cluster must be loaded in HV up to 100% shown on the inverter display.
Once 100% is reached, even after the jump of SoC, it will be possible to proceed as follows.

Turn off the HV BOX by acting on the disconnector

Disconnector positioned on OFF
Remove the power cables and the connection cables between batteries

Release the HV connectors

Each HV cable must be removed

Remove the metal protection of the LV terminals

Set the battery DIPs (formerly as LV master)

Connect a 10 Ampere charger

Activate the battery and wait for the contactor to intervene
Once 100% is reached (OverVoltage protection of the contactor)
proceed with charging the next battery

ATTENTION
Never recharge from the high voltage terminals

ATTENTION
It is always recommended to prepare the battery modules that make up an HV cluster as indicated above, before
starting the high voltage system.
In the case of a corrective action on an existing system, at the end of the operations reassemble the tower by
connecting again the HV cables between batteries and then to the HV BOX.
Start the high voltage system as indicated in the manual.

1. Install clusters with the same number of modules. Each module of each cluster must have the same voltage.

2. Each cluster must have the same total voltage.

3. Set the DIP switches of each HV Box with the addresses starting from ID 01 and continue in progressive sequence
up to the last HV Box.

4. Connect the last HV BOX with the HV HUB device by connecting the CAN PORT 2A of the HV BOX with the CAN
INPUT PORT located on the HV HUB.

5. Proceed connecting the CAN PORT 2B of the last HV BOX to the CAN PORT 2B of the previous one up to the first
HV BOX.

6. Connect the CAN BMS PORT of the HV HUB device to the CAN PORT of the inverter following the inverter
manufacturer PIN.

7. Power the HV HUB device with the AC-DC power supply

Attention: Do not turn on the HV HUB device (power key to be kept off)

8. After checking all high voltage power connections and making sure polarity is correct, visually check all
connections by double-checking the manual.

9. Turn on the Main Switch, (1) then Press the HV HUB power button (Green LED)

10. Activate the first switch of the HV BOX ID01 and wait for the total start-up of the first cluster. Only when the first
cluster is fully operational is it possible to proceed with the start-up procedure of the second cluster.

79
 WECO 5K3-XP-EMEA

11. Wait for the complete start-up and then proceed with the same methodology for each cluster.

12. At this point, the start-up procedure is completed and the HV HUB device will initiate the control procedure of
each single cluster by activating the HV HUB contactors one by one to prevent voltage spikes.

13. The start-up procedure foresees the deferred switching on of the various clusters with a delay of at least 5
seconds from each other.

ATTENTION:
In a multi cluster system, all the HV BOXES will receive the input of closing the HV BOX contactor only when the entire
cluster procedure is completed by the HV HUB.
HUB HV logic includes a voltage control algorithm that controls the consistency of each cluster before allowing the
closing the HV BOX contactors.
The PC software will indicate any cluster mismatching that prevent installation.

• Each Battery Module has its own RUN button, however, when used with the HV Box during
normal operation, the RUN button has no function and is bypassed by the control
communications from the HV Box.

Caution: In the HV configuration, the RUN button will have no effect on the operation of
the Battery Module and the operator should not assume that the RUN button will have
switched off the Battery Module when pressed.

3.7.1.1 Power Switch + Run Button

The Power Switch and the Run Button are located to the right of the battery terminal connections on the
side of the Battery Module.
The RUN Button is a GREEN LED button and will provide the user with the following indications depending
on the state of the battery.

STARTUP: Turn ON the Power Switch (1 = ON 0= OFF)

A 2-second press on the RUN Button will turn the Battery Module on.
During the startup procedure, the RUN button will blink until the safety inspection has been
completed by the BMS.
SHUTDOWN: A 5-second press and hold on the RUN Button will turn the Battery Module off.
Turn OFF the Power Switch (1 = ON 0= OFF)
Other functions of the RUN Button are explained in the relevant sections of this manual.
The RUN button of each module might Blink for several minutes after the HV BOX shuts down, this is
part of the BMS logic: each module is waiting to receive confirmation from the previous module that
no upgrade is ongoing, typically the shit down process could take up to 1 minute per each module
connected.

Attention: Read this entire manual thoroughly to understand the correct startup and shutdown
procedures for each battery configuration.
As the modules are connected to the WECO CLOUD, some modifications of the of the ordinary
procedure might change and could not reflect this manual.
The safety procedures will remain unchanged in any case.

Attention: Illustrations shown are for reference only. Please always refer to the physical Battery
Module in front of you, and if the module has a different configuration to this manual, stop all activity
immediately and contact your WeCo technical representative.

Always completely shut down the system when performing a mechanical or electrical inspection.

3.7.2.3 Low Battery – Forced Charge

ATTENTION:
The HV connection cables must be disconnected; the Forced Charge implies to follow the LV section rules.
THE FORCED CHARGE MUST BE PERFOMED AS SINGLE LOW VOLTAGE MODULE.
THE MODULE MUST BE COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE HV STRING.

To set the forced charge set the dip switches as below and restart the battery
1. Press the RUN BUTTON 5 sec to turn off
2. Change the DIP switch and set it to ZERO (0)

ATTENTION: Before performing any operation on the Battery Module, make sure that the VOLTAGE
between the battery B+ and B- terminals in the terminal BLOCK LOW VOLTAGE SECTION is ZERO (0 Vdc) and the
PANEL LIGHTS ARE OFF.
Only when Battery Module is in “Shutdown State”, the charging device can be connected. Then the operator can
turn on the battery by pressing the Run Button.
Each Battery Module must be electrically isolated from other Battery Modules. All serial connections cables must be removed.
Preparation condition before Forced Charging: Connect a 60 Vdc 10A charger to the B+ and B- terminal of the of
the Battery Module to ensure charging.
Forced Charging approach: By shortly pressing the Battery Module RUN Button, the RUN light will flash GREEN
which means that the battery is entering the compulsory charging mode. If the battery receives an adequate
charging power (above 10 Amps/58Vdc) within 90 seconds from pressing the button, the battery will continue to
charge normally until a stable state is reached.
If the battery does not receive adequate charging power within 90 seconds after pressing the RUN button, the
battery will enter the shutdown mode once again.

During the Forced Charging period, the FRONT LED BAR low battery LED will be steady orange up to an SoC of 10%
at which point the FRONT LED BAR low battery LED will go out. Details of the indications on the FRONT LED BAR
can be found in Section 2.5.5 of this manual.

ATTENTION: Each Battery Module must be recharged at the same SoC. The inspection must be done by using
the WeCo RS232 and LV PC software or via BT app.
This process could take some time and will require either a portable PC or handheld computer device or a mobile phone
with WeCo Apps.

ATTENTION: When the charging process of each module has been concluded, the serial connection must be
restored by following this manual’s instructions.
