Battery Pack Installation 3. At the first installation, make sure that the circuit breaker switch is in the Trip position between the ON and OFF positions. 4. Puch the circuit breaker switch behind the OFF position until it cannot go any futher and then push it to the ON position. If the switch moves by itself to any of the other positions, do not use the battery pack. Contact LG Chem or your distributor. 5. Measure the voltage at the terminal block using a voltmeter.
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. 4.5 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. NOTE Make sure that the battery pack is always exposed to the ambient air. The battery pack is cooled by natural convection.
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. 1. Determine where the mounting brackets are to be placed using the drill template. 2. Drill holes in the wall for the M6 (0.25 in) screw anchors. The drilling depth should be at least 50 mm. 3.

7 Commissioning 7.1 7.1.1 Status indicators 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. Warning: This comes on when the battery pack is in a warning state. See Troubleshooting on page 41.
Commissioning 7.1.2 RESU Plus There are four LED indicators on the front of the RESU Plus to show its operating status. ON: This indicator stays on while the battery pack is supplied with power for operation. Pack 1: This stays on while the first battery pack is online with the RESU Plus. Pack 2: This stays on while the second battery pack is online with the RESU Plus. Fault: This comes on when one or both battery packs are in a warning or fault state.
Commissioning If two battery packs are installed, follow these steps to put them in operation. 1. Move the circuit breaker switch to the ON position to turn on the battery packs. If two battery packs are installed, both must be turned on at an interval of less than 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. When a warning is reported, the inverter immediately stops operation.
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. • The memory card must be formatted in FAT16 or FAT32. • It must have only one firmware file in the root directory. For details about supported memory cards, see Supported Memory Cards on page 47. 9.
Firmware Update 4. Press and hold the update button beside the memory card slot for more than 3 seconds. 5. The LED indicators flash in cycles for 1 minute at most until the firmware update is complete. Only the ON indicator comes on when the firmware update is successful. If it fails, the Warning indicator comes on for two seconds. Check the memory card and try again. If it persistently fails, contact LG Chem or your distributor. 6. Remove the memory card.
