INSTALLATION Unpacking and Inspection Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. You should have received the following items inside of package: The unit x 1 User manual x 1 Communication cable x 1 Software CD x 1 Preparation Before connecting all wirings, please take off bottom cover by removing two screws as shown below.
Install the unit by screwing three screws. 1-3KVA 24V, 1KVA/3KVA 48V model 2-3KVA 24V/48V Plus, 4-5KVA 48V model Battery Connection CAUTION: For safety operation and regulation compliance, it’s requested to install a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect device between battery and inverter. It may not be requested to have a disconnect device in some applications, however, it’s still requested to have over-current protection installed.
Please follow below steps to implement battery connection: 1. Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size. 2. Connect all battery packs as units requires. It’s suggested to connect at least 100Ah capacity battery for 1-3KVA model and at least 200Ah capacity battery for 4KVA/5KVA model. NOTE: Please only use sealed lead acid battery or sealed GEL/AGM lead-acid battery. 3.
AC Input/Output Connection CAUTION!! Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and AC input power source. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input. The recommended spec of AC breaker is 10A for 1KVA, 20A for 2KVA, 32A for 3KVA, 40A for 4KVA and 50A for 5KVA. CAUTION!! There are two terminal blocks with “IN” and “OUT” markings.
5. Make sure the wires are securely connected. CAUTION: Important Be sure to connect AC wires with correct polarity. If L and N wires are connected reversely, it may cause utility short-circuited when these inverters are worked in parallel operation. CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner are required at least 2~3 minutes to restart because it’s required to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits.
PV Module Selection: When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters: 1. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules not exceeds max. PV array open circuit voltage of inverter. 2. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules should be higher than min. battery voltage.
