NOTE:
Set the ADD address for both NetZero PCS under split phase application.
Refer to PCS Module part of this instruction for more details.
All external ports should be equipped with switches. The National Electric Codes (NEC), local codes, and similar standards
outline detailed requirements for safe installation of electrical equipment. Installation must comply with specifications for wire types, conductor sizes, electrical and thermal insulation, branch circuit protection, grounding, and disconnect devices.
The actual connection depends on your application case. Not all the ports
are necessary to be connected.
Please set up the actual value of generator maximum power by the app. Refer to the generator user manual for the detail information about how to
install/connect the remote control cable and how to switch the generator into remote mode. Figures below are examples for typical generators remote cable connection.

6.1 Boot System
(1) Switch on the Power switch on the BCMS module, wait 60 seconds until
(Usually it takes 45 seconds for the 8 battery modules to be fully started
up; the more battery modules utilized, the longer the startup process takes.
For every battery module added, it takes 3.5 seconds longer to startup.
Therefore, it takes more than 60 seconds for 12 battery packs to be fully
started up.) the BCMS and Battery Module start normally, and (2) Switch on the PV SWITCH on the Solar Controller, and (3) Switch on the MAIN switch on PCS&EMS module.
WARNING: Failure to follow the instructions may damage the device.
6.2 ShutDown System
(1) Switch off the MAIN switch on PCS module, and (2) Switch off the PV switch on the Solar Controller, and (3) Switch off the POWER switch on the BCMS module.
WARNING:
Failure to follow the instructions may damage the device. Shut down the device and switch off all the external switches from the home
electrical panel for maintenance or extended period of non-use.
