INSTALLATION GUIDE
Eon Lithium batteries are fully compatible with Luxpower inverters. The setup guide will assist the installer with the correct configuration and setup of the inverter and battery.
Note: these settings only apply to one battery. For multiple batteries, please follow the instructions in the manual as well as the best practices for paralleling batteries.
Battery Type Setting
Change Battery Type to Lithium Battery & Lithium Brand to Pylon
Step 2:
Enter Advanced settings and choose the Battery Type. Choose Lithium Battery
Step 1:
Turn on the Battery first and then turn on the inverter
Step 3:
Choose Lithium Brand: Pylon Battery
Discharge Amps:
Set according to Inverter size and battery capacity.
Battery Capacity:
100Ah (for 1 x 5kWh Battery – if you have 2 x 5kWh batteries, then set to 200Ah)
Charge Amps:
25 – 30A per 5kWh Battery (this is the maximum charge setting that you want the batteries to charge at.)
Charge Amps: Set to 25 – 50A per 5kWh Battery. When it comes to more than one battery, you will multiply your charge amps as well as discharge amps by the number of batteries that you have. See the Table for Float, Absorption and Equalization charge values. These are usually set automatically via the comms from the battery BMS.
Battery Type Setting
The recommended shutdown % is 20% as it will prolong the battery life and deliver optimal performance.
Shut down
Parallel or Mutiple battery Installation
– Eon Lithium Dip switch settings If you are using one battery, then set the DIP switches as the master or Battery 1. If you have multiple batteries in parallel, then follow the table below to set each battery accordingly. Also make sure to connect the supplied comms cable between the battery RS485 parallel ports (7 in the following figure)
Power cables
-
Check the rating of the inverter and the battery pack that will be working together. Make sure that the correct gauge cable is used and the correct fuse protection.
-
If the power rating of the battery is lower than the inverter, then make sure the maximum discharge current is set to conform to the battery power rating.
Example:
-
Inverter = 8kW (Max power is 8kW or 160A DC)
-
Battery = 5kWh (Max power is 5kW or 100A DC)
-
Set the maximum discharge current to 100A in the battery settings.
-
For batteries connected in parallel, please see the best practices guide.
Communication cables
-
Battery Communication connection
-
At the base of the inverter, you will find the Communication interface. If the switch in the middle (2 x switches) is red, then the following applies.
