CAUTION: Do not attempt to loosen the large brass nut at the base of the terminals; doing

so will damage the AmpliPHI battery and Void the Warranty.

3. Before installing the AmpliPHI Battery, test its voltage by turning its built-in breaker to the ON (I) position.

4. Measure the AmpliPHI Battery’s voltage with a multimeter. Batteries typically ship at ~52 VDC.

5. When installing more the one AmpliPHI Battery, check that the batteries’ voltage readings are similar.

Batteries with a voltage variance greater than 1 Volt DC should be isolated and charged separately.

6. After testing the AmpliPHI Battery’s voltage, turn the battery’s built-in circuit breaker back to the OFF (0)

position.

7. Wire the AmpliPHI Battery bank with all the included AmpliPHI Batteries’ built-in breakers in the OFF (0)

position. All electrical wiring must be in accordance with Section 4.6 – Electrical Wiring and all

communications wiring must be in accordance with Section 4.7 – Communications Wiring.

CAUTION: All SimpliPhi Power Battery products are designed to work exclusively in

parallel. Never connect in series to achieve higher voltages. Wiring in series will destroy the

batteries and Void the Warranty.

Verify polarity at all connections before energizing system. Reverse polarity at the

AmpliPHI Battery terminals will destroy the AmpliPHI batteries and Void the Warranty.

8. Confirm all loads are turned OFF. Disconnect the inverter’s AC Output breaker or turn off the breaker at the

top of your loads’ breaker panel.

9. The main DC disconnect in the inverter’s power panel should still be in the OFF position.

10. Turn all battery circuit breaker switches to the ON (I) position and wait 20 seconds for the BMS to re-boot.

11. Turn the main DC disconnect in the inverter’s power panel ON.

12. At this point, the inverter may come on automatically in standby mode, or the inverter might need to be

manually turned on.

13. Activate the AmpliPHI Battery’s networking connection within the Balance of System (BoS) equipment. Then

program the equipment for those settings that are not automatically communicated by the AmpliPHI to the

BoS equipment. SimpliPhi’s settings are specified in the relevant AmpliPHI Integration Guides specific to the

inverter you are utilizing. (https://simpliphipower.com/product-documentation/) and are generally outlined

in Section 5.0 – Programming of this Manual.

CAUTION: SimpliPhi Batteries must operate in conjunction with properly programmed

Balance of System equipment. Operating the batteries with equipment that has not been

programmed to SimpliPhi’s specified parameters will damage the AmpliPHI batteries and

Void the Warranty.

CAUTION: Charge the batteries fully. When first commissioning the battery system, the

batteries must be charged fully before connecting any loads. Neglecting to charge the

batteries fully when first commissioning the battery system will Void the Warranty.
