User Manual 1 Safety Information
● Do not operate ESMs or cables during thunderstorms.

● Replacing an ESM with an incorrect model may cause cross current and bias
current, which will trigger ESM protection. Long-time operation with an
incorrect model will result in cell or board faults, which may cause risks such
as fire.
● If the ESM loop is short-circuited, ESM protection will be triggered and the
ESM cannot be charged or discharged. Long-time frequent short circuit can
result in cell or board faults, which may cause risks such as fire.
● Electrolyte overflow may damage the equipment. It will corrode metal parts
and boards, and ultimately damage the boards.
● An ESM communication failure alarm caused by reasons such as loose
communications cable connection should be handled within 72 hours (default
value, configurable in the range of 8 hours to 720 hours). Otherwise, the ESM
will be internally locked, which may affect the ESM power backup.
● Dispose of waste ESMs in strict accordance with local laws and regulations.
Misoperations
Avoid the following misoperations.
Misoperations Protection Description
Reverse Before an ESM is activated: The ESM power cables must be

connection correctly connected. If the ESM power cables are reversely
connected, the ESM stays in sleep mode and will not start. If
you forcibly activate the ESM (through the MANUAL
ON/OFF button or power port), a protection alarm will be
reported and the ALM indicator will turn on.
After an ESM is activated: If the ESM power cables are
reversely connected, the ESM may be damaged.
External short If the ESM loop is short-circuited, ESM protection will be

circuit triggered and the ESM cannot be charged or discharged.
Long-time frequent short circuit can result in cell or board
faults, which may cause risks such as fire.
Serial ESMs cannot be connected in series. If ESMs are connected

connection in series forcibly, ESM protection will be triggered. Operating
outside the protection range will result in board or battery
damage and battery protection failure, which may cause
risks such as fire.
Gas Composition
The ESM is an enclosed battery system and will not release any gases under
normal operations.
If the ESM is severely misused, for example, being burned or used under
thunderstruck, it may be damaged, resulting in electrolyte leakage. The electrolyte
of organic carbonate nature may produce CO2, CO, and N2 after being burned.

NOTE
ESMs can be connected in parallel to increase the backup time or power.

● Maximum current of N ESMs connected in parallel = N x Maximum rate x Imax, where
Imax is the maximum current allowed for the ESMs. Take four ESMs connected in parallel
as an example: Imax = 4 x 0.55 x 100 A = 220 A.
● If the backup power of ESMs is greater than 24 kW, the backup time is prolonged, but
the backup power remains unchanged.

3.2 Online Capacity Expansion

In ESM maintenance mode, the system capacity can be expanded online without
disconnecting the battery supply. In this way, the site will not break down in case
of a mains power failure during capacity expansion.
3.3 Application in Class B Environments with Direct

Ventilation
The ESM can be used in class A or B environments with direct ventilation but
cannot be used in class C or D environments without temperature control devices.
Air conditioner cabinets with high protection levels (IP55 or higher) are
recommended if ESMs are deployed in class C or D environments.
Environments subject to atmospheric corrosion can be classified into four

categories:
● Class A environment (controlled environment): indoor environment where the

ambient temperature and humidity are controlled (including rooms where
people live) and the relative humidity of air is controlled below 65%.
● Class B environment (uncontrolled environment): indoor environment where
the ambient temperature and humidity are not controlled or outdoor
environments (with simple shielding measures) where the humidity can reach
100%.
● Class C environment (harsh environment): outdoor land environment (with
simple shielding measures) near seas or pollution sources. If a site is near a
sea, it is 0.5–3.7 km away from the sea. If a site is near a pollution source, it is
at most 3.7 km away from salt lakes, 3 km away from heavy pollution sources
such as smelteries, coal mines, and thermal power plants, 2 km away from
medium pollution sources such as chemical, rubber, and galvanization
industries, or 1 km away from light pollution sources such as packing houses,
tanneries, and boiler rooms.
● Class D environment (sea environment): outdoor land environment (with
simple shielding measures) at most 500 m away from the seashore or
environment on the sea.
3.4 Low-Temperature Application

● Low-temperature charge: The ESM does not support battery charging at a
temperature below 0°C. When the battery temperature is below 0°C, the ESM
will shut down the charging loop to disable charging.
When the ESM is used in an environment below 0°C, a heater needs to be
added in the cabinet, and batteries can be charged after the battery
temperature rises to 3°C or above.
● Low-temperature discharge: The ESM does not support battery discharging at
a temperature below –20°C. When the battery temperature is below –20°C,
the ESM will shut down the discharging loop to disable discharging.

When the ESM is used in an environment below –20°C, a heater needs to be

added in the cabinet, and batteries can be discharged after the battery
temperature rises to –17°C or above.

30°C
– Relative humidity: ≤ 95%

– Dry and clean environment with proper ventilation

– Away from corrosive and organic substances (including gas)
– Away from direct sunlight
– At least 2 meters away from heat sources (such as a heater)
4. The warehouse keeper should collect ESM storage information every month
and periodically report the ESM inventory information to the planning
department. The ESMs that have been stored longer than specified duration
should be recharged in a timely manner.
5. Regional offices or organizations should not store ESMs or communication
equipment configured with ESMs. Prior approval should be obtained for any
requirements on ESM storage.
6. ESMs should be delivered based on the "first in, first out" rule.
7. Install ESMs in a dry, clean, and ventilated environment that is free from
sources of strong infrared radiation, organic solvents, and corrosive gases. Do
not expose the ESMs to sunlight or water and keep them far away from
sources of ignition.
4.2.2 Conditions for Judging Overdue Storage

It is recommended that the ESM not be stored for a long period. It should be used
soon after being deployed onsite.
Table 4-1 Storage requirements
Required Actual Recharge Remarks

Storage Storage Interval
Temperature Temperature
0°C–40°C 0°C ≤ T ≤ 30°C 12 months Within the recharge interval:

Use the ESM as soon as
30°C < T ≤ 8 months possible.
40°C
Reaching the time for recharge:
Recharge the ESMs.
The total storage duration
should not exceed the warranty
period.
NOTE
1. If ESMs have been stored overdue, promptly report the event to the department leader.
2. Dispose of bulging ESMs directly irrespective of how long they have been stored.
3. The storage duration (t) starts from the latest charge time marked on the ESM packing
case. The latest charge time is updated after every charge.
4. If an ESM is qualified after charge, mark the latest charge time and the next recharge
time on the ESM packing case. The next recharge time is 8 months (stored above 30°C)
or 12 months (stored below 30°C) later than the latest charge time. The total storage
duration should not exceed the warranty period.

4.2.3 Storage with Low SOC (≤ 5%)

ESMs have static power consumption and self-discharge loss after power-off. In
actual application scenarios, avoid storing an ESM with low SOC (≤ 5%). If storing
an ESM with low SOC is unavoidable, limit the storage duration to 30 days at 25°C
or 15 days at 45°C. Promptly recharge the ESM after the storage. Otherwise, the
ESM may be damaged and scrapped due to overdischarge.
The following situations may cause storage of ESMs in discharge state:
1. After the site power supply is disconnected due to a mains outage, the power
supply is not recovered for a long time because the faults (such as cable
faults) cannot be rectified in a timely manner.
2. After installation and commissioning are complete, the mains power is
switched off directly without powering off the ESM. The ESM enters the low
power mode only after being completely discharged, and the interval for
onsite acceptance check is long.
3. Other reasons that prevent the ESM from entering the low power mode
normally.
4.2.4 Operations Before Recharge

● Check the ESM appearance.
● Dispose of bulging ESMs.
● Dispose of damaged or misshapen ESMs.
● Dispose of leaking ESMs.
