About this manual ® This manual describes how to install the LG Chem RESU battery pack. Read this manual before you attempt to install the product, and follow the instruc- tions throughout the installation process. If you are uncertain about any of the requirements, recommendations, or safety procedures described in this man- ual, contact LG Chem immediately for advice and clarification.
Saftey NOTE To use rechargeable batteries, you are required to comply with standard AS 4086.2 in Australia and VDE-AR-E2510-2 in Germany. 1.1 Symbols on product labels The nameplate is attached to the left side of the battery pack, and the warning label is attached to the top.
Saftey The battery pack is heavy enough to cause severe injury. The battery pack may leak corrosive electrolyte. The battery pack may explode. The battery pack should not be disposed with household waste at the end of its working life. The battery pack should be disposed at a proper facility for environ- mentally safe recycling.
• Do not use cleaning solvents to clean the battery pack. 1.3 Response to emergency situations The RESU battery pack comprises multiple batteries that are designed to pre- vent hazards resulting from failures. However, LG Chem cannot guarantee their absolute safety. Leaking batteries If the battery pack leaks electrolyte, avoid contact with the leaking liquid or gas.
If the battery catches fire, it will produce noxious and poisonous gases. Do not approach. Wet batteries If the battery pack is wet or submerged in water, do not try to access it. Contact LG Chem or your distributor for technical assistance.
LG Chem or your distributor. CAUTION Damaged batteries may leak electrolyte or produce flammable gas. If you suspect such damage, immediately contact LG Chem for advice and infor- mation. 1.4 Qualified installers This manual and the tasks and procedures described herein are intended for use by skilled workers only.

Installation 3.4 Installation location Make sure that the installation location meets the following conditions: • The building is designed to withstand earthquakes. • The location is far away from the sea, to avoid salt water and humidity. • The floor is flat and level. •...
Installation 3.5 Tools The following tools are required to install the battery pack: Torque screwdriver Phillips-screwdriver bit Hex-key bit Phillips-head screwdriver Flat-head screwdriver Wire stripper Network crimper Voltmeter Tape measure Drill Use properly insulated tools to prevent accidental electric shock or short cir- cuits.
Installation Insulated gloves Safety goggles Safety shoes 3.7 Installation clearance 300 mm 300 mm 300 mm 300 mm 300 mm 300 mm 9 mm 300 mm 9 mm Make sure to leave a space of at least 9 mm between the battery pack and the wall.
Installation CAUTION Make sure that the battery pack is always exposed to the ambient air. The battery pack is cooled by natural convection. If the battery pack is entirely or partially covered or shielded, it may cause the battery pack to stop oper- ating.
Installation 4. Drill holes in the wall for M6 (¼ in) screw anchors. The drilling depth should be at least 50 mm. 5. Drive the screw anchors through the mounting brackets into the holes. 6. Tighten the screws to a torque of 5 N·m.
3. Without releasing the grip, push it to the ON position. If the switch moves by itself to any of the other positions, do not use the battery pack. Contact LG Chem or your distributor. Circuit breaker’s trip button Make sure that the circuit breaker switch is put in the ON position, and then press the circuit breaker’s trip button.
OFF position, and then measure the voltage. If the volt- age is higher than 0 V, do not use the battery pack. Contact LG Chem or your distributor. 2. Move the circuit breaker switch to the ON position, and then measure the voltage.
Installation Network cable connection NOTE The battery pack must be connected to the inverter via a network cable for proper operation. 1. The smaller grommet is too narrow for the RJ45 plug to pass through. Make sure that the network cable from the inverter does not have an RJ45 plug at the end.
Installation Ground wire connection NOTE Grounding between the battery pack and the inverter is not mandatory but recommended. 1. Thread the ground wire from the in- verter through a smaller grommet and then through the bottom of the smaller holes. 2.
Installation 2. Connect the charging cables to the ter- minal block. a) Remove the terminal cover plate, which is placed over the terminal block to protect it. b) Connect the negative cable (−) to the left terminal and the positive cable (+) to the right terminal.
Installation 3.12 Making a network cable Use this method to make a network cable, which is to be connected between the battery pack and the inverter. 1. Cut cable to needed length. 2. Strip 2.5 to 5 cm of the outer sheath at the end of the cable. 3.
Installation 3.13 Setting rotary and DIP switches Remove the switch cover by pulling it upwards. There are three DIP switches and three rotary switches. Switch number Type Label Default SW select 0000 Cell select CAN_H Rotary CAN_L Rotary Rotary Term Res NOTE If these switches are set incorrectly, communication with the inverter cannot be established.
Installation Type Setting Value 0001 LGC Solo 0010 LGC Multi 0011 LGC Smart NOTE For information about compatible inverters and their communication inter- face, a separate datasheet will be available on request.

1. Move the circuit breaker switch to the ON position to turn on the battery pack. 2. Make sure that the ON indicator is lit. If it stays off, do not use the battery pack. Contact LG Chem or your distributor. 3. Turn on the inverter. NOTE If communication with the inverter is not established within 10 minutes after the battery pack is turned on, the circuit breaker automatically trips.
Commissioning 4.3 Shutting down the battery pack To shut down the battery pack, take these steps: 1. Turn off the inverter. 2. Remove the top cover from the battery pack. 3. Turn off the battery pack by moving the circuit breaker switch to the OFF position.
Troubleshooting Check the indicators on the front to determine the state of the battery pack. A warning state is triggered when a condition, such as with voltage or tem- perature, is beyond design limitations. The battery pack’s BMS periodically reports its operating state to the inverter. When the battery pack falls outside prescribed limits, it enters a warning state.
Firmware Update It is possible to update the BMS firmware. Use a memory card to update it. A new firmware may be available from LG Chem website or your distributor. Prepare a memory card with these properties: • The capacity of the memory card must not be greater than 32 GB.

If it fails, the Warning indicator lights for two seconds. Check the memory card and try again. If it persistently fails, contact LG Chem or your distributor. 7. Replace the lid. 8. Turn on the inverter.
