Installation Process 1. Confirm installation location meets the requirement to be dry, clean and ideally temperature controlled plus has been secured against vermin. 2. Install leveling feet if necessary to ensure that the Cabinet is completely level. 18
Installation Process cont. 3. Ensure that the wall the Distribution Board is being affixed to is suitable load rated. 4. Measure out locations for installation of the Cabinet and Distribution Board. Align top of Distribution Board to top of Cabinet. 19
Align top of Distribution Board to top of Cabinet. 20
Align top of Distribution Board to top of Cabinet. 21
Installation Process cont. 5. Position the Cabinet in its final position hard up against the wall. 6. Remove both side panels from Cabinet. 7. Lie the Distribution Board on its back and remove the escutcheon, gland plate and internal pan. 22
Installation Process cont. 8. Mount the Distribution Board on the wall in its final position up against right hand side of the Cabinet. 9. Drill out 63mm gland(s) for DC cables from inside the Distribution Board right through to the inside of the Cabinet. The DC cables must be routed through the backright side of the Cabinet into the Distribution Board due to the length of the DC cables. 23
Drill 1 x 63mm hole from inside the Distribution Board through and into the Cabinet. 24
Drill 2 x 63mm holes from inside the Distribution Board through and into the Cabinet. 25
Installation Process cont. 10.Drill out glands for the communication cable and the power cable to the Fan Controller. These cables may be routed through the back or sides of the Cabinet. 11.Vacuum out any metal shavings in the base of the Cabinet. 26
Installation Process cont. 12.Install all cable glands. The 63mm DC cable gland(s) should go right through from the inside of the Cabinet to the inside of the Distribution Board. 13.Install shelves and fan controller into the Cabinet in the positions shown. 27
Shelf positions: 6, 17, 28, 39, 50 Fan controller: 61, 62 28

Battery Fault Scale Warning: When a battery module is likely to become unstable, it goes into a warning state. This state is cleared when the module recovers its normal condition. Fault 1: When a battery module is likely to become faulty, it goes into a low level fault state, This state may require an appropriate measure to be cleared. Fault 2: When a battery module falls outside prescribed limits, it goes into a high level fault state. The battery module in this state is not used anymore. Inspection by LG Chem required. 50
Select Alerts Too low module voltage Too high battery temperature Lost communications between battery modules 51
List of Alerts See LG Chem Service Manual for complete list of alerts including: Cell overvoltage Cell undervoltage Too low module voltage Too large voltage difference between cells Over-charged current Over-discharged current Over-charged power Over-discharged power Too high battery temperature Too low battery temperature Too large temperature difference inside battery module Lost communication between battery modules Lost communication with the inverter Too low SOC Too high SOC 52
