AmpliPHI Sol-Ark Integration Guide

It is acceptable but not required to use the ferrite choke on the positive and negative DC busbar-to-inverter

leads (see Figure 1 above).

SimpliPhi and Sol-Ark recommend against using the 100 Ohm resistor included with the Sol-Ark equipment to

charge the Sol-Ark’s capacitors when connecting the SimpliPhi Batteries for the first time (as described in the

Sol-Ark Install Guide Owner’s Manual).

Do not install the Battery Temperature Sensor. The SimpliPhi Batteries require no temperature compensation.

AmpliPHI batteries are networked together in a daisy chain using CAT5 or greater cabling and utilizing the two

battery ports that that are in closer proximity to each other (identified in Figure 2 below). The maximum

number of AmpliPHI batteries that can be connected in a single system is 40, with a maximum total connected

distance of 40m (131 feet) from the first AmpliPHI battery module to the last AmpliPHI battery module in the

chain.

Figure 2: AmpliPHI’s Networking Communications Ports

In a string of batteries, the two batteries at the ends of the communication chain will have one of their RJ45

“daisy-chaining” ports (indicated in Figure 2 above) remaining un-utilized. On each of these two batteries, the

communication port that is not occupied by a cable will have a 120Ohm terminator plug installed in the open

port (see Figures 3 and 5 below).
