II. Installation Prerequisites

Ensure the installation location meets the following conditions:

• The building is designed to withstand earthquakes.
• The location is far from the sea, over 3280.84 ft (1000 m), to avoid salt water and humidity.
• The floor is flat and level.
• There are no flammable or explosive materials within a minimum of 2.95 ft (0.9 m).
• The ambience is shady and cool, away from heat and direct sunlight.
• The temperature and humidity remain at a constant level.
• There is minimal dust and dirt in the area.
• There are no corrosive gases present, including ammonia and acid vapor.
• Where charging and discharging, the ambient temperature ranges from 32°F (0°C) to 113°F (45°C).

Note: In practice, installation requirements may differ based on environment and location. Always follow local laws and standards.

Note: The Greenworks battery module is rated at IP65, allowing outdoor installation. However, if installed outdoors, the battery pack must not be exposed to direct sunlight and moisture.

Note: If the ambient temperature exceeds the operating range, the battery pack will stop running to protect itself. The optimal temperature range for operation is 14°F (-10°C) to 122°F (50°C). Frequent exposure to harsh temperatures may deteriorate its performance and lifetime.

Note: For the first installation, the interval among manufacture dates of battery modules shall not exceed 3 months.

Step 6: Place Additional Battery Modules

Place two Battery Modules in turn. Secure both left and right sides with screws (4x M5*20 countersunk screw) with a torque of 2.2-2.5 N·m. Secure the Platen and M5*10 screws immediately after placing each Battery Module.

Note: An electric drill dust collector is recommended.

Step 7: Prepare for Wall Bracket Attachment

1. Attach an M5*10 screw to the Wall Bracket, but do not tighten it yet.

Step 10: Place Fourth Battery Module

(This step is part of a sequence for configurations with more than two modules, referring to steps 7, 8, 9, and 10 for placement and securing).

Step 11: Fix Platen (3 holes)

Fix the Platen (3 holes) and secure M5*10 screws on both sides with a torque of 2.2-2.5 N·m.

Step 12: Prepare for BMS Wall Bracket Attachment

1. Attach an M5*10 screw to the Wall Bracket, but do not tighten it yet.

Note: The holes on the BMS are for securing the inverter. For details, refer to the GWU-GreenE User Manual.

VII. Wiring

Making a BMS Communication Cable

To ensure normal operation of the BMS and inverter, a BMS communication cable must be made before wiring. The specific definition of the communication cable is as follows:

• Sequence 1: (No specific pinout shown, likely reserved)
• Sequence 2: GND
• Sequence 3: /
• Sequence 4: BMS_H
• Sequence 5: BMS_L
• Sequence 6: /
• Sequence 7: A1
• Sequence 8: B1

The wire order of the communication cable is as follows:

• 1) Orange stripes on white
• 2) Orange
• 3) Green stripes on white
• 4) Blue
• 5) Blue stripes on white
• 6) Green
• 7) Brown stripes on white
• 8) Brown

Note: The BMS communication cable shall have a shield layer.

Before Wiring

1. Unscrew the cap at the BMS clockwise.
2. Unscrew the screws at BAT+ and BAT- respectively.

After Wiring

1. Insert the orange power line into the orange socket.
2. Insert the black power line into the black socket.
3. Screw the communication line into the communication socket.

Note: Do not violently remove cables when they are locked.

VIII. Commissioning

Steps for commissioning are shown as follows:

1. Press the left side door panel.
2. Open the air switch's guard and toggle switch to ensure that the inverter charges the battery.
3. Press the right side door panel.
4. Press the button for 1 to 2 seconds, and then the system starts.

Black Start: Press the POWER button and hold it for 20 seconds; release the button after the four SOC indicators flash blue alternately. However, this is not recommended as it may cause the port to be charged, resulting in an electric shock.

Battery Management Notes:

• If batteries have not been used for more than 9 months, they must be charged to at least 50% SOC each time.
• For the first installation, the interval among manufacture dates of battery modules shall not exceed 3 months.
• If a battery is replaced or added for capacity expansion, each battery's SOC should be consistent, with a maximum SOC difference between ±5%.
• If users want to increase their battery system capacity, ensure the SOC of the existing system capacity is about 40%. The manufacture date of the new battery shall not exceed 6 months; if it exceeds 6 months, charge the new battery to around 40%.
• The equipment supports capacity expansion.
• Circumstances for increasing a battery module:
• For floor mounting, remove the inverter before increasing the battery module.
• For wall mounting, if the distance from the equipment to the ground is sufficient, do not remove the inverter; otherwise, the inverter shall be removed.
