Tools required
. Spirit level
. Battery drill with Phillips tec bit
. Assorted screw drivers
. Allen key set
Location and environmental requirement
. The Battery Enclosure is rated IP54, so it can be installed both indoors and outdoors.
. If installed outdoors, the enclosure should not be mounted on a east or west ward facing wall or
any location that exposes the enclosure to direct sunlight. It should also be mounted under-
neath a shelter to protect it from the weather.
. The Battery Enclosure should be mounted against a reasonably flat, structurally sound wall and
it needs to be standing on a level surface.
. There should be no flood risk at the location selected for the Battery Enclosure installation.
. There should be ample room (min 150mm) for air circulation around the Battery Enclosure as the
Battery Enclosure uses fans to circulate air, the air intake and expulsion grills on the right and left
hand side of the Battery Enclosure should not be blocked at any time.

Figure 3: Battery Enclosure feet and mounting screws.
1.In preparation for the installation of the enclosure, take off the three front covers of the Battery
Enclosure by removing the 12 screws.
2.Screw the two feet to the base of the Battery Enclosure, using the three screws provided.

3.Once the feet are fixed, the Battery Enclosure is ready for installation as shown in Figure 4.
Note: The battery switch should remain off during the installation process.
The enclosure can be used to house Li-ion battery types,the following installation uses GoodWe
SECU-A battery as an example.
. Up to two GoodWe SECU-A (4.8kWh) battery packs with a total storage capacity of 9.6 kWh.
1.Insert the batteries onto the shelves one at a time by inserting the battery pack bottom first into
the cabinet. Please fill the cabinet from bottom to top, insert battery 2 first ，then 1 (see figure
8).

2.Once the batteries are placed into position, plug the respective power leads into the power
connectors on the batteries while taking note of the polarity. Ensure that the battery 2 lead
which has the power connector for the Fan Controller is plugged into one of the batteries.

3.Once the enclosure is fixed onto the wall, apply generous amount of the supplied sealant on the
six screw holes to seal off any moisture ingress points.
Inserting the batteries
Mounting the enclosure
The Battery Enclosure is designed to be installed below the Inverter and comes prewired for easy
integration with GoodWe Inverter.
1.Set the Battery Enclosure against the wall. Ensure that the floor where the Battery Enclosure is
to be installed is level.
2.Use the supplied fixing screw and plug set to fix the enclosure onto the wall. An alternative fixing
mechanism can be employed if the supplied screw and plug set is not appropriate for the wall.

At this stage the preliminary installation of the Battery Enclosure is complete. The next step is the
connection of the BMS cables.
3.If you are using GoodWe SECU-A battery packs, connect the bonding leads between each battery
and the earthing studs inside the enclosure.

Connecting the Battery Enclosure to the Inverter Commissioning
The inverter should be powered down during this process. Please refer to
the Inverter’s installation Manual for the shutdown sequence.
The Battery Enclosure is now ready to be connected to the Inverter mounted on the same wall
above the Battery Enclosure as per figure 13.
Please note you should refer to the Inverter’s installation manual for details on how to mount the
Inverter.
1.Connect the Amphenol connectors, on the top of the Battery Enclosure, to the matching battery
connectors at the base of the Inverter.
Note: You need to check the Inverter’s commissioning steps to complete the commissioning of
the whole system,
2.Connect the Battery Enclosure’s earth lead to the earth terminal inside the Inverter.
3.With the Inverter’s BoS box and the Battery Enclosure’s front cover still open, turn on the Invert-
er and subsequently close the battery breaker in preparation for the commissioning process.
CAUTION! GoodWe Battery (SECU-A)
1.Ensure all the BMS connections have been done as per the instruction provided in this installa-
tion manual (page10)
2.You don’t need to assign the battery (ADD) addresses manually as the master battery will do this
for you (provided the BMS wiring is done per the instruction in this installation manual.
3.Press the Battery Breaker on all batteries. The green LED light should light up. (Please note that
the batteries won’t be discharging any power at this stage).
4.Press the Battery Switch on the master battery. That will start all batteries.
5.The ‘Battery’ light on the Control Board should be on, indicating that BMS communication has
been established between the master battery and the Inverter and at this stage you should be
able to see the battery on the portal in the APP.
Note: You need to check the Inverter’s commissioning steps to complete the commissioning of
the whole system as per the Inverter’s manual.
