Technical preparation
Electrical interface check
Devices that can be connected directly to the battery can be user equipment, power
supplies, or other power supplies.
• Confirm whether the user's PV power generation equipment, power supply or other
power supply equipment has a DC output interface, and measure whether the DC
power output voltage meets the voltage range requirements in Table 2-2.
• Confirm that the maximum discharge current capability of the DC power interface of
the user's photovoltaic power generation equipment, power supply or other power
supply equipment should be less than the maximum charging current of the
Batteries.
• If the maximum discharge capability of the DC power interface of the user's
photovoltaic power generation equipment is higher than the maximum charging
current of the Batteries, the DC power interface of the user's photovoltaic power
generation equipment shall have a current limiting function to ensure the normal
operation of the user’s equipment.
• Verify that the maximum operating current of the battery-powered user equipment
(inverter DC input) should be less than the maximum discharge current of the
Batteries.

Installation Preparation
1. Prepare equipment and tools for installation.
2. Check the LV-Link unit and confirm that the device is turned off.
Mechanical Installation
Wall hanging Installation method:
1. Make the LV-Link parallel to the ground using a horizontal measuring instrument.
Mark the screw holes on the wall using the two holes of the LV-Link, and drill the
holes, as shown in Figure 3-4. Use an electric drill to drill two holes with a diameter of
10mm and a depth greater than 70mm on the wall to install M6 expansion bolts.

Figure 3-4
2. According to the position of the mark, 2 holes in diameter 10mm and depth of more
than 70mm are hit on the wall with an electric drill, which are used for fitting
expansion bolt M6.

Electrical installation
Before connecting the power cables, use multimeter to measure cable continuity, short
circuit, confirm positive and negative, and accurately mark the cable labels.
Measuring methods：
Power cable check: select the buzzer mode of multimeter and detect the both ends of
the same color cable. If the buzzer calls, it means the cable is in good condition.
Short circuit judgment: choose multimeter resistor file, probe the same end of positive
and negative pole, if the resistor shows infinity, means that the cable is available.
After visual testing of power line connection, the positive and negative poles of the
battery shall be connected respectively to the positive and negative poles of the opposite
terminal.

model firstly, then start the battery.
3. The BAT-INV comms cable is from inverter comm port to LV-Link Inverter CAN port,
BAT-BAT comms cable is from BAT1 CAN IN to LV-Link BAT1 CAN,BAT2 CAN IN to LV-
Link BAT2 CAN
4.The limited continuous current for each pair of power cable is 120A. Please add power
cable according to the proportion if the max working current of the inverter is more
than 120A.
Register on the website after installation
