***Closed loop is only compatible for up to 2 batteries connected in parallel. Make sure that each battery are updated to firmware version
7.7. Important! Before paralleling each battery, make sure the voltage difference between them is less than 0.5v from one another. Pairing
batteries with voltages above 0.5v may damage parts of your battery due to over surge current. If the battery/ies have voltage differences
use the inverter or charge controller to charge the battery/ies up to the desired voltage. Otherwise, place the terminator in one of the
communication ports (Both TX and RX are common ports) and the communication cable in the other. Set Battery to Master 1.
1. To pair both batteries, turn them on pressing the pushbutton for about 10 seconds and set both batteries to Slave with Parallel Number 2. Turn
them off. While batteries are off, connect the communication cables from one battery to another (RS485 ports are common) and end
communication with a terminator to the battery that you will choose to be the Slave.
2. Turn Both batteries on. Set one of the batteries to Master. Note: The Master battery will communicate directly with the inverter. If paralleling is
successful, you should hear a clicking sound on both batteries after this step. Insert the remaining Format B Ethernet cable from the Master
battery to the Gateway/Insight Home/Insight Facility.
3. Cut and strip the end of the Format B cable and connect wire 3 (green/white) to port 9 of the Insight Home (18 on the Gateway & Insight
Facility) and wire 5 (blue/white) to port 11 of the Insight Home (20 on the Gateway) as described in Image 2.4.
