1.0 – IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CAUTION: DO NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY- FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAREFULLY AND REVIEW WARRANTY DOCUMENT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

1.1 - Safety Instructions

1. Before assembling or using the SimpliPhi Battery Only Storage System for Six Batteries (BOSS.6), read

all instructions and cautionary markings included in this manual.

2. Perform all electrical work on the BOSS.6 Enclosure in accordance with local, state and federal

electrical codes.

3. The BOSS.6 Enclosure is NEMA 3R-rated for a degree of protection against debris, as well as rain,

sleet and ice. The Enclosure is NOT watertight and should therefore be protected against excessive

exposure to liquids.

4. To reduce the chance of short-circuits and/or electrical shock, always use insulated tools when

installing or working with this equipment. For the same reason, remove all jewelry such as rings,

watches, bracelets, etc., and wear insulated rubber electrical gloves when installing or performing

maintenance on the BOSS.6 Enclosure or the PHI battery modules contained within.

5. Before assembling or using the BOSS.6, inspect the shipment and the product itself for signs of

damage. Do not use the BOSS.6 Enclosure if there are indications that it has been damaged during

shipping or otherwise. Refer to Section 3.1 – Inspection of this Guide for further instruction.

6. Do not dismantle the BOSS.6 Enclosure; there are no user-serviceable parts contained in this product.

Doing so will Void the Warranty.

7. The BOSS.6 Enclosure is designed for the housing and wiring of up to 6 SimpliPhi PHI 3.8, 3.5, or 3.4

kWh batteries (measuring ~13.5” wide x 15.5” high with terminals x 8.1” deep) or up to 6 SimpliPhi PHI

2.9, 2.7 or 2.6 kWh batteries (measuring 11.25” W x 12.75” high with terminals x 9.5” deep). Check

with SimpliPhi Technical Support (techsupport@simpliphipower.com) prior to using the BOSS.6

Enclosure with any other PHI battery models.

8. Prior to installing or performing maintenance on the BOSS.6 Enclosure, turn all included PHI Battery

module built-in circuit breakers’ “ON/OFF” switches to the “OFF” position, and disconnect all wiring

REV020620

leading from the batteries to the ExprESS fully integrated unit or other Balance of System equipment.

Doing so will minimize the risk of shock or sparks during the batteries’ installation.

Before commissioning the ExprESS or BOSS.6 Enclosure with Batteries, PHI batteries MUST be fully

charged. Failure to do so will Void the batteries’ Warranty.

9. In addition to the instructions outlined in this BOSS.6 Enclosure manual, adhere to all installation and

commissioning protocols outlined in the PHI Battery Installation Manual. Failure to do so will Void the

batteries’ Warranty.

10. Verify polarity at all battery module connections with a standard voltmeter before:

1) energizing the system and,

2) turning the PHI Battery’s circuit breaker “ON/OFF” switch to the “ON” position. Reverse polarity

at the PHI Battery terminals will Void the Warranty and destroy the PHI Batteries.

11. Do not operate if the PHI Battery has been dropped or damaged in any way during shipping or

otherwise.

1.2 - Limitations of Use

The BOSS.6, ExprESS unit and PHI battery modules are not intended for use in connection with

life support systems or other medical equipment or devices.

2.0 - Product Description

2.1 - Introduction

This installation guide covers the recommended installation of the BOSS.6 Enclosure. More

information on SimpliPhi products, including the SimpliPhi batteries that the Enclosure is designed

to house, can be found on our website: http://simpliphipower.com/.

2.2 - Overview

REV020620

| 3|

The BOSS.6 Enclosure is intended for the housing and wiring of up to six (6) PHI 3.8, 3.5 or 3.4 kWh deep-

cycle Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) batteries, or up to six (6) PHI 2.9, 2.7 or 2.6 kWh LFP batteries. The

Enclosure may be used with the AccESS or ExprESS fully integrated units, or as a PHI Battery enclosure for

any other installation with SimpliPhi compatible equipment.

When the BOSS.6 Enclosure is used with the AccESS or ExprESS fully integrated units, the additional

Enclosure containing additional PHI batteries allows for an increased amount of available energy storage

capacity, beyond the PHI Batteries already included in the fully integrated AccESS or ExprESS units.

All PHI batteries must be fully charged BEFORE commissioning. Failure to do so will Void

the Warranty.

As outlined in the PHI Battery Installation Manual, batteries must always be connected in parallel (Positive

to Positive / Negative to Negative). Any bussing used within the BOSS.6 Enclosure must be used to parallel

the batteries only; no series connections are permitted and will destroy PHI batteries and Void the

Warranty. More detailed connection instructions are included in later sections of this manual.

3.0 - Installation

3.1 - Inspection

Immediately inspect the BOSS.6 Enclosure upon its arrival to the site. Inspect the packaging as well as the

BOSS.6 Enclosure itself for signs of rough handling or damage. If there is any evidence of damage, record

the damage on the receiving document before signing for receipt of the equipment. Damage claims should

be filed directly with the carrier. Not doing so can limit your ability to claim damage of equipment with the

carrier.

3.2 - Unpacking

After the shipment’s inspection is completed, perform the following steps to unpack the equipment:

1. Open all cartons.

2. Compare the items received against the packing list to see if any items are missing. If an item is

missing or damaged, contact SimpliPhi Power (805-640-6700).

3. Remove all packing materials, envelopes, and boxes from the cartons. Keep all packing materials and

cartons in case you need to transport or ship the unit at a later date.

The BOSS.6 Enclosure shipment includes the items listed in Table 2 on the following page.

Not Included

The BOSS.6 Enclosure does not include:

•Interconnecting busbars or battery cables for the purpose of paralleling the batteries.

oInterconnecting busbars for paralleling two or three PHI batteries (SKU numbers BB-2

and BB-3, respectively) are sold separately and may be purchased from any SimpliPhi

distributor: https://simpliphipower.com/distributors/.

oThe built-in 5-point terminal blocks includes 3/8” posts. Cables wired to and from the

terminal blocks should therefore have 3/8” lugs.

oContact SimpliPhi Sales for assistance with sourcing busbars and/or battery cables.

•Wiring and conduit for any Enclosure-to-inverter connections.

oMaintain a voltage drop no greater than 3% when sizing battery-to-inverter cables.

REV020620

| 7|

All batteries contained within the PHI battery bank must be identically grouped (i.e. do not use both the

BB-2 and BB-3 busbar products within the same PHI battery bank. Doing so will Void the Warranty on the

PHI batteries.

Consider these limitations when wiring fewer than 6 PHI batteries in the BOSS.6 enclosure.

Table 3 – Recommended Battery-to-Terminal Block Wiring

Number of

PHI

Batteries

Recommendation

Order 4 x BB-3 busbars (2 positive, 2 negative) + 4 total 1/0 AWG Arctic Ultraflex Blue® cables with 3/8” lugs (for

busbar-to-terminal block wiring connections).

SimpliPhi uses 25” and 20” busbar-to-terminal block wire lengths.

Not Supported- Consider increasing battery bank to 6.

Order 4 x BB-2 busbars (2 positive, 2 negative) + 4 total 2 AWG Arctic Ultraflex Blue® cables with 3/8” lugs.

Use pairs of battery cables to wire from each PHI battery to the terminal blocks. 6 total 8 AWG Arctic Ultraflex Blue®

cables with 3/8” lugs may be special ordered directly with SimpliPhi.

Order 2 x BB-2 busbar (1 positive, 1 negative) + 2 total 2 AWG Arctic Ultraflex Blue® cables with 3/8” lugs.

Terminal block-to-inverter cables are also not included with the BOSS.6 purchase. SimpliPhi typically uses

two (one positive, one negative) 8’-long 2/0 AWG Arctic Ultraflex Blue® cables with 3/8” lugs for terminal

block-to-inverter wiring. However, the length and gauge of these cables may need to change depending on

the Balance of System (BoS) equipment, maximum potential instantaneous power draw from the PHI

battery bank, distance between the PHI battery bank and the BoS equipment, ambient temperature and

local codes.

CAUTION: Arctic Ultraflex Blue® cables are sized differently than standard THHN/THWN

wire: http://www.polarwire.com/properties-specs.pdf . Use different wire sizes if different

make cable is used. Always adhere to the National Electrical Code.

Required Tools for Installation

The following tools are required to assemble the BOSS.6 Enclosure:

•Torque Wrench

•9/16” socket

•11/16” socket

•17mm socket

•Protective wear

Installation Site Location

The BOSS.6 Enclosure may be installed indoors or outdoors mounted onto a concrete pad. The BOSS.6

Enclosure is NEMA 3R-rated for a degree of protection against debris, as well as rain, sleet and ice. The

Enclosure is NOT watertight and should therefore be protected against excessive exposure to liquids.

Keep the BOSS.6 Enclosure isolated from flammable materials or vapors.

Clearance Requirements

The BOSS.6 Enclosure can be installed directly adjacent to the AccESS or BOSS.6 fully integrated units.

Ensure that any ventilation is not blocked on the sides of the AccESS or BOSS.6 units. If mounting several

cabinets together, allow for at least 8” of clearance on the external sides not adjacent to each other for

ventilation, and 4 feet of clearance in front of the BOSS.6 Enclosure and/or AccESS or ExprESS units for

front door access. The BOSS.6 Enclosure can be placed flush against a wall, without any clearance at the

back of the Enclosure.

Knock-Out Location

Three Trade Size 1 knockouts are located on either side of the BOSS.6 Enclosure. They can be used for

routing battery cables from the enclosure to the inverter’s power panel. Not all knockouts must be used.

Pad Mounting

The BOSS.6 Enclosure must be installed and secured on level concrete. For a pre-cast concrete pad, a 4”

minimum thickness is required.
