5. Measure the voltage at the terminal block using a voltmeter. If the voltage is lower than 38 V, do not use the battery pack. Contact LG Chem or your distributor. 6. Press the circuit breaker’s trip button. If the circuit breaker switch has not moved to the Trip position, do not use the battery pack.
Battery Pack Installation 8. To secure the battery pack to the wall, replace the top cover and tighten the screws to a torque of 2.75 N·m. Installation clearance Make sure to leave a space of at least 9 mm between the battery pack and the wall. A clearance of at least 9 mm must be left around the battery pack for proper cooling.
Battery Pack Installation 4.6 Securing battery pack to wall Secure the battery pack to a wall to prevent it from moving. If the battery pack is installed above the floor or on a platform, make sure that the wall or platform is capable of supporting the battery pack’s weight.
Battery Pack Installation 6. There are screw holes for mounting brackets on the top of the both sides of the battery pack. Drive the M5 screws through the mounting brackets into the holes and tighten them to a torque of 5 N·m. Cable connections WARNING Make sure that the inverter is turned off before connecting the battery pack to the inverter.
Battery Pack Installation 4.7.2 Connecting network cable It is required for the battery pack to communicate with the inverter for proper operation. Connect a network cable between the battery pack and the inverter 1. The small grommet is too small for an RJ45 plug to pass through.
Battery Pack Installation 4.7.3 Connecting charging cables 1. Feed a pair of charging cables through each of the large grommets and then through each of the large cable entries. NOTE Pay attention not to reverse polarity. Connection with reversed polarity causes severe damage to the battery pack.
Battery Pack Installation 4.8 Finalizing installation Follow these steps to finalize the installation. 1. Stuff the small grommets left unused with an insulating material like silicone sealant, and then push them into the remaining holes. 2. Apply silicone sealant or putty around the cable at each grommet to prevent foreign materials from entering the battery pack.

7 Commissioning Status indicators 7.1.1 Battery pack There are four LED indicators on the front of the battery packs to show its operating status. ON: This indicator stays on while the battery pack is supplied with power for operation. Charging: This stays on while the battery pack is charging. Discharging: This stays on while the battery pack is discharging.
1. Move the circuit breaker switch to the ON position to turn on the battery pack. 2. Make sure that the ON indicator is on. If it stays off, do not use the battery pack. Contact LG Chem or your distributor. 3. Turn on the inverter.
30 seconds. 2. On both battery packs, make sure that the ON indicator is on. If it stays off, do not use the battery pack. Contact LG Chem or your distributor. 3. Turn on the inverter.
8 Troubleshooting Check the indicators on the front to determine the state of the battery pack. A warning state is triggered when a condition, such as with voltage or temperature, is beyond design limitations. The battery pack’s BMS periodically reports its operating state to the inverter. When the battery pack falls outside prescribed limits, it enters a warning state.
9 Firmware Update It is possible to update the BMS firmware. Use a memory card to update it. A new firmware may be available from LG Chem website or your distributor. Prepare a memory card with these properties. • The capacity of the memory card must not be greater than 32 GB.
