1.1 - Safety Instructions
1. Before assembling or using the SimpliPhi Battery Only Storage System for 12 Batteries (BOSS.12), read all instructions and
cautionary markings included in this manual.
2. Perform all electrical work on the BOSS.12 Enclosure in accordance with local, state and federal electrical codes.
3. The BOSS.12 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. For extreme weather
protection, Rain Hoods are available (RH-1010) and can be ordered with the BOSS.12 Enclosure.
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.12 Enclosure or the PHI battery modules contained
within.
5. Do not use the BOSS.12 Enclosure if there are indications that it has been damaged during shipping or otherwise.
6. Immediately inspect the BOSS.12 Enclosure upon its arrival to the site. Inspect the packaging as well as the BOSS.12
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.
7. The BOSS.12 Enclosure is designed for the housing and wiring of up to 12 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 12 SimpliPhi PHI 2.9, 2.7 or 2.6 kWh batteries
(measuring 11.25” wide x 12.75” high with terminals x 9.5” deep).Check with SimpliPhi Technical Support
(techsupport@simpliphipower.com) prior to using the BOSS.12 Enclosure with any other PHI battery models.
8. Prior to installing or performing maintenance on the BOSS.12 Enclosure, turn all included PHI Battery module built-in circuit
breakers’ “ON/OFF” switches to the “OFF” position, and disconnect all wiring leading from the batteries to the AccESS fully
integrated unit or other Balance of System equipment. Doing so will minimize the risk of shock or sparks during the batteries’
installation.
9. Before commissioning the AccESS or BOSS.12 Enclosure with Batteries, PHI batteries MUST be fully charged. Failure to do
so will Void the batteries’ Warranty.
10. In addition to the instructions outlined in this BOSS.12 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.
11. 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.
12. Do not operate if the PHI Battery has been damaged in any way during shipping or otherwise.
