The SigenStor Home Install with Checkwatt CM10 Guide provides comprehensive instructions for installing, operating, and maintaining the SigenStor Home Three-phase system. This document is intended for product users and professionals, offering detailed information on the product's introduction, networking, system operation, and maintenance.
The SigenStor system is designed for photovoltaic energy storage scenarios, offering various inverter models (EC, AC, Hybrid) that can be used in conjunction with PV modules and SigenStor BAT (Battery Pack). The SigenStor EC and AC models are primarily inverters, with the EC model specifically for photovoltaic energy storage and the AC model for pure storage scenarios. Both require SigenStor BAT for operation. The SigenStor Hybrid model is a versatile inverter that can be used with PV modules for pure PV applications or combined with PV modules and SigenStor BAT for photovoltaic storage systems, often requiring the purchase and activation of a license for full functionality. The SigenStor BAT itself is a battery pack designed to store electrical energy.
For enhanced energy management and backup capabilities, the system can integrate a Diesel generator as a backup energy source for long-term off-grid applications. When used in tandem with the Gateway, it ensures a smooth transition between PV, storage, and diesel generation. The Sigen Gateway HomeMax TP is a crucial component for PV storage and pure storage applications. It facilitates data acquisition and monitoring, off-grid backup power switching, diesel generator control, and energy management. The Gateway is essential for backup networking and for controlling partial backup power and zero-power grid connections, requiring the arrangement of the Gateway and a power sensor.
The system's installation and wiring are critical steps that must be performed by company-authorized personnel. The guide provides detailed networking figures for both Modbus RTU mode and Modbus TCP mode when integrating with a Checkwatt CM10 device. For Modbus RTU, the RS485 cable from SigenStor, which has three wires (RS485A1, RS485B1, and PE line), needs to be connected to the +, –, and GND ports of the Checkwatt device, respectively. For Modbus TCP mode, an FE cable connects the SigenStor to the Checkwatt CM10's LAN2 port, and the Checkwatt CM10's LAN1 port connects to the router.
Safety is a paramount concern, and the manual outlines several precautions. It emphasizes that failure to comply with safety guidelines can result in death, serious personal injury, or property damage. Users are warned against exposing the battery pack to high temperatures or heat sources to prevent fire or explosion. Cleaning the equipment with water, alcohol, or oil is prohibited to avoid power leakage or battery pack leakage. Tipping over or impacting the equipment should be avoided, and in case of an accident, usage must cease immediately, and an installer contacted for professional inspection. During operation, touching the heat sink is dangerous, and the decorative cover plate should not be covered to maintain proper heat dissipation, with a recommended clearance of 300-600 mm to prevent high-temperature fires. The use of carbon dioxide or ABC dry powder fire extinguishers is recommended for home use. The equipment should not be used if it has defects, appears abnormal (e.g., battery pack leakage, distortion), or cannot be charged, in which case the installer should be contacted. Furthermore, the equipment is not suitable for connection to public infrastructure systems, emergency medical equipment, elevators, or other critical systems.
The system's operation is managed through the mySigen App, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. The app allows users to configure various settings, including Modbus control. To enable Modbus control, users must first enable "Remote EMS Scheduling" in the System Settings panel of the mySigen App. This step is mandatory for both Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP modes. The "Remote EMS Scheduling Enable" button, when green, indicates it is enabled, and users must remember to save the changes. For Modbus TCP mode, an additional step involves enabling the "Modbus TCP Server Enable" button in the SigenStor Settings panel, accessible via the Device button in the app. This step is not required if only Modbus RTU mode is intended.
The SigenStor system also incorporates a power sensor (Sigen Sensor TP-DH, TP-CT120-DH, TP-CT300-DH, TP-CT600-DH) for data acquisition at grid connection points, enabling zero-power grid connection. The system supports various communication methods, including FE/WLAN for routers, WLAN for antennas, and 4G for the Sigen CommMod module. The mySigen App is compatible with Android 6.0 or later and iOS 12.0 onwards, ensuring broad accessibility for users. The rated voltage of the AC switch connected to each inverter should be ≥ 380 Va.c, with recommended rated currents varying based on the SigenStor model (e.g., 20 A for 5.0-8.0 TP models, 32 A for 10.0-15.0 TP models, 40 A for 17.0-20.0 TP models, and 50 A for 25.0 TP models).
Maintenance features are implied through the detailed wiring diagrams and the emphasis on professional installation and troubleshooting. The guide provides specific instructions for RS485 wiring, detailing the connections for PE signal shielding ground, RS485 signal 2_B-, RS485 signal 2_A+, RS485 signal 1_A+, and RS485 signal 1_B- to the COM terminal of the inverter. This level of detail is crucial for ensuring correct installation and facilitating future maintenance or repairs. The system's modular design, with components like the inverter, battery pack, gateway, and communication modules, suggests that individual parts can be serviced or replaced as needed, contributing to the overall maintainability of the system. The mySigen App also offers features like "Log Download" and "Real Time Info," which can be valuable tools for monitoring system performance and diagnosing issues, thereby aiding in maintenance efforts.
