Section 1: Introduction
About the Harbor Smart Battery
The Harbor Smart Battery is an easy-to-install energy storage device for efcient DC-coupled
performance. As a storage component of the Pika Energy Island, Harbor Smart Battery models
can be used for grid-connected solar applications such as self-supply, rate arbitrage and clean
backup power. Both the Harbor Flex™ and Harbor Plus™ models are designed to work seamlessly
with Pika Energy’s S2500 Series PV Link optimizers, and X7600 and X11400 Series Islanding
Inverters to form the Pika Energy Island system for grid-tie solar-plus-storage.
All Pika Energy products use the REbus™ 380VDC nanogrid to connect energy sources, storage,
loads and the grid. The REbus nanogrid automates the ow of power to enable plug-and-play
setup and operation of Pika Energy equipment. For more information about REbus, visit pika-
energy.com.
In the diagram below, a REbus compatible Pika Islanding Inverter is directly connected to PV Link
optimizers and high voltage energy storage on the DC (REbus) line, shown to the the left of the
inverter. To the right of the inverter are AC lines: 240VAC or 208VAC for grid and home loads, and
critical load support up to 50A.

Safety Shutdown
Safety Shutdown
The Pika Energy Island system can signal to connected devices on REbus to shut down and limit
output voltage to a safe level. The red Safety Shutdown button on the front of Pika Islanding
Inverter activates a Safety Shutdown. An external shutdown button may also be installed, given
appropriate labeling. See the section titled “External Safety Shutdown Switch” in the Islanding
Inverter Installation manual.
To enter a Safety Shutdown, press and hold the red button on the front of the inverter. The
Safety Shutdown LED will illuminate and the LCD screen will indicate a Safety Shutdown has
been initiated.
In a system congured to provide backup power, the DC bus will remain energized on loss of AC
grid power. Upon entering a Safety Shutdown, a shutdown signal will be transmitted to all devices
connected to REbus. In Safety Shutdown, the Islanding Inverter will disconnect from the grid,
stop sourcing power to REbus, and immediately disable all sources on REbus by sending a global
shutdown signal. All PV Link optimizers will disconnect their output. The Safety Shutdown LED
will be illuminated to show that the inverter has entered a Safety Shutdown. DC bus voltage will
be displayed on the inverter screen.
WARNING: BEFORE PERFORMING SERVICE, ALWAYS INITIATE A SYSTEM-
WIDE SAFETY SHUTDOWN AND TURN THE FRONT PANEL BATTERY
DISCONNECT SWITCH TO “OFF” ON ALL CONNECTED SMART BATTERIES.
UNLESS THE BATTERY SWITCH IS “OFF”, THE BATTERY MAY PERFORM
A POWER SEARCH AT ANY TIME WHICH WILL CREATE DANGEROUS
VOLTAGE AT THE REBUS TERMINALS.
