Step 3 Use the percussion drill with a 12 bit to make holes at the marked points. Use a cleaner to clear
the dust both inside and around the holes. If the inter-hole spacing is too long or too short, locate
and drill holes again.

CAUTION
l

Take measures when drilling holes lest the flying dust hurt your eyes or you inhale the dust.

The depth of the hole must range from 52 mm to 60 mm. The depth of the hole must be the
length of the expansion tube plus the length of the drill bit. If the depth is out of the range,
the expansion bolt cannot be fastened.

If the wall is too hard or too smooth to hold the drill bit, use a chisel to dig a hole.

Step 4 Mount the flat washer, spring washer, and nut on the expansion bolt M10 x 60, slightly fasten
them, and then put the expansion bolt into the hole. Hit the expansion bolt using a rubber hammer
until the expansion tube is completely buried into the hole, as shown in Figure 4-22.

The alarm clearing return difference is 3C.

The alarm is generated when the rectifier reports the module fault or
the module is protected.

The alarm is generated when the module fails in communication or the


module is absent.

The alarm is generated when the loop of the battery group 1 or battery
group 2 fails.

The battery loop failure means that the MCB contactor or the internal
cable is disconnected.

This function can be disabled or enabled on the BAM. It is enabled by


default. The battery shutdown voltage can be set within the range 35
V to 43 V (43 V is the default load shutdown voltage).

If the busbar voltage is kept lower than the battery shutdown voltage
for more than 5 minutes, related alarms are generated and the batteries
are shut down. If the number of power modules is set to 0 or the capacity
of the battery group is set to 0, the system does not perform the
shutdown control function.
