6.2.2. Conditions at the installation site
Indoor or outdoor installation
We recommend installing the FENECON Commercial 92 — battery towers in a well-ventilated room without external heat sources. However, the battery towers can also be installed outdoors protected from the weather (e. g. garage).
Installation at 2000 m above sea level and in unventilated locations is not permitted.
Also unauthorized installation locations:
-
those with an explosive atmosphere.
-
Places where flammable or oxidizing substances are stored.
-
Wet rooms.
-
places where salty moisture, ammonia, corrosive vapors or acid can ingress into the system.
The storage system should also be inaccessible to children and animals.
6.2.3. Installation conditions and distances at the installation site

-
Battery towers must be installed protected from direct sunlight, rain and snow.
-
In conditions outside the optimum temperature range, the performance of the batteries is reduced. (optimum temperature range: +15 °C to +30 °C)

-
A distance of 300 mm from the wall and 600 mm between two battery towers is recommended.
-
A distance of 500 mm from a wall is recommended at the front.
-
A distance of 200 mm from the ceiling is recommended.
If the recommended distances are not adhered to, this can make installation more difficult and may result in earlier derating. |

8.1. Connection of a heat pump via "SG-Ready"
The integration of an "SG-Ready" (Smart-Grid-Ready) heat pump is an advanced form of sector coupling of electricity and heat — often also referred to as a "Power-to-Heat" application. The control system ensures that the heat pump slightly overheats the thermal storage unit at times when cheap (solar) electricity is available in order to save electrical energy at times when there is no cheap surplus electricity.

1. The internal relay contacts 5 and 6 can be connected via pins 5/6 and 7/8 on the Harting plug (16-pin — C). |
Nach der Installation der Komponenten muss die App noch installiert werden. |
8.2. Connection of a Heating element with a maximum of 6 kW
The integration of an electric heating element is the simplest and cheapest form of sector coupling of electricity and heat — often also referred to as a "Power-to-Heat" application.
If the capacity of the electrical storage unit is at maximum, self-generated energy is fed into the public grid with low remuneration. In these cases, it often makes sense to use the surplus electricity for water heating (e.g. for hot water buffer tanks, pool heating, etc.). In this way, other energy sources (e.g. wood or oil) can be saved.
![]() |
|
Care must be taken to ensure that three different phases are used. If only one phase is used, damage may occur. |
Nach der Installation der Komponenten muss die App noch installiert werden. |
Manual mode is only suitable for temporary operation. For permanent operation, the external relay control must be used. |
8.3. Control of a heating element greater than 6 kW (control via external relay)
Die Einbindung eines elektrischen Heizstabes ist die einfachste und günstigste Form der Sektorkopplung von Elektrizität und Wärme — oft auch "Power-to-Heat"-Anwendung genannt.
If the capacity of the electrical storage unit is exhausted, self-generated energy must be fed into the public grid with low remuneration. In these cases, it often makes sense to use the surplus electricity for water heating (e.g. for hot water buffer tanks, pool heating, etc.). In this way, other energy sources (e.g. wood or oil) can be saved. The externally installed relays must suit the set output of the heating element installed.

8.4. Control of a CHP unit
The integration of a combined heat and power plant (CHP) into the electrical energy management is an advanced form of sector coupling of electricity and heat.
This enables the application of the CHP unit as an electrical generator that is independent of the time of day and weather conditions. The CHP unit is given a switch-on signal to produce electricity when the storage unit’s charge level is low. This is useful, for example, if the battery capacity is not sufficient to cover electricity consumption at night. This avoids the need of purchasing expensive electricity from the grid.
When the battery is charging, this signal is stopped again to prevent the CHP power from being fed into the grid unnecessarily.
![]() |
1. The enable signal for starting the CHP can be connected to pins 5/6 via the Harting plug (16-pin — C). |
Nach der Installation der Komponenten muss die App noch installiert werden. |
8.5. Additional AC meter
If other meters have been installed for monitoring other consumers or generators, these must be integrated into the circuit in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. +
The communicative integration is shown below using a 3-phase sensor without a current transformer as an example. +
Only meters approved by FENECON can be integrated. +
The first generation meter is always integrated with Modbus ID 6. All others in ascending order. The baud rate must be 9600.
