- Unpack Batteries + Check Voltage
- 1. Unpack the batteries and turn each battery on by itself.
- 2. Note the voltage of each battery and serial number. The serial numbers are useful during warranty submittal.
- 3. The batteries must be within +/-0.5V of each other before commissioning. Groups of 4 batteries or more may require a narrower voltage range to commission properly.
- 4. Turn off the batteries and install them in parallel. Notes
- If the battery voltages are significantly different, one technique is to finish battery installation and only turn on the lowest voltage battery using the pushbutton. Charge the battery, and when the charging voltage is ~0.2V above the resting voltage...
- If the batteries are slightly more than +/-0.5V from each other, turning on the highest voltage batteries only will reduce their voltages, and turning on the lowest voltage batteries only will lower the highest voltage. Likewise, turning on the lowest...
- Use of the Fortress firmware update tool can help speed up commissioning times. Fortress installers should request a firmware update tool by filling out a support ticket at https://support.fortresspower.com

between master and slave modes until it clicks on, and then leave in the appropriate
master or slave mode. After the battery unsticks, power down and then power back up
the battery banks using the push button if convenient.
Battery-Inverter Connection
.
***Closed loop is only compatible for up to 1 battery. Make sure that each battery is updated to firmware version
7.7.Important! Place the terminator in one of the communication ports (Both TX and RX are common ports) and
the communication cable in the other. Set Battery to Master 1
1. To pair both batteries, turn them on pressing the push-button for about 10 seconds and set both batteries to
Slave with Parallel Number 2. Turn them off. While batteries are off, connect the communication cables from
one battery to another (RS485 ports are common) and end communication with a terminator to the battery that
you will choose to be the Slave.
2.
Turn Both batteries on. Set one of the batteries to Master.. If paralleling is successful, you should hear a
clicking sound on both batteries after this step.
Note: The Master battery will communicate directly with the inverter Insert the remaining Format B Ethernet cable from the
Master battery to the Gateway/Insight Home/Insight Facility.
