3.
Before installing the PHI Battery, test its voltage by turning its built-in breaker to the ON (I) position.
4.
Measure the PHI Battery’s voltage with a multimeter. Batteries
typically
ship at 20% State of Charge, which
correlates with ~50.2 VDC / 25.1 VDC / 12.55 VDC.
5.
When installing more the one PHI Battery, check that the batteries
’ voltage readings are similar. Batteries with a
voltage variance greater than 1 Volt DC should be isolated and charged separately.
6.
After testing the PHI Battery’s voltage, turn the battery’s built
-in circuit breaker back to the OFF (0) position.
Wire the
PHI Battery bank with all the included PHI Batteries’ built
-in breakers in the OFF (0) position.
CAUTION: All SimpliPhi Power Core Power and Peak Power products are designed to work
exclusively in parallel. Never connect in series to achieve higher voltages. Wiring in series will
destroy the PHI batteries and Void the Warranty.
Verify polarity at all connections before energizing system. Reverse polarity at the PHI Battery
terminals will destroy the PHI batteries and Void the Warranty.
7.
Confirm al
l loads are turned OFF. Disconnect the inverter’s AC Output breaker or turn off the breaker at the
top
of your loads’ breaker panel.
8.
The main DC disconnect in the inverter’s power panel should still be in the OFF position.
9.
Turn all battery circuit breaker switches to the ON (I) position.
10.
Turn the main DC disconnect in the inverter’s power panel ON.
11.
At this point, the inverter may come on automatically in standby mode, or the inverter might need to be manually
turned on.
12.
Program the Balance of System Equipme
nt (inverter and/or charge controller) to SimpliPhi’s settings, as specified
in the relevant Integration Guide (
https://simpliphipower.com/product-documentation/
) and generally outlined in
Section 5.0
–
Programming of this Manual.
CAUTION: SimpliPhi Batteries must operate in conjunction with properly programmed
Balance of System equipment. Operating the batteries with equipment that has not been
programmed to SimpliPhi’s specified paramete
rs will damage the PHI batteries and Void the
Warranty.
13.
Charge the batteries fully. When first commissioning the battery system, the batteries must be charged fully
before connecting any loads. Neglecting to charge the batteries fully when first commissioning the battery system
will Void the Warranty.
