2. Safety Information

Please read all instructions and warnings carefully before installation and operation.

  • WARNING: Shock Hazard! Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.
  • CAUTION: Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal; overheating may occur.
  • CAUTION: Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are connected tightly.
  • CAUTION: Before making the final DC connection or closing DC breaker/disconnector, ensure positive (+) is connected to positive (+) and negative (-) is connected to negative (-).
  • WARNING: Ensure that the AC power source is disconnected before attempting to hardwire it to the unit.
  • 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 operated in parallel.
  • CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioners require a 2-3 minute restart delay. If a power shortage occurs and recovers quickly, it can damage connected appliances. Check if your air conditioner has a time-delay function.

  2. Set the equalization interval in program 37, or activate equalization immediately in program 39.

When to Equalize:

In the float stage, when the set equalization interval is reached or immediately activated, the controller will enter the Equalize stage.

5.5. Setting for Lithium Battery

If using a lithium battery, ensure it is a compatible model. Connect the BMS communication cable between the battery and the inverter. This cable transmits information and signals between the battery and inverter.

Lithium Battery LCD Display Information:

Figure 8: LCD display showing various lithium battery status indicators.

Setting for PYLON US2000 Lithium Battery:

This battery type uses 4 Dip Switches to set baud rate and battery group address. 'ON' is upper position (1), 'OFF' is bottom position (0).

  • Dip 1 'ON' for baud rate 9600.
  • Dip 2, 3, and 4 are reserved for battery group address.

Installation Process:

  1. Use the RS485 cable to connect the inverter and Lithium battery.

If communication is not used, follow these settings based on your battery's BMS specifications (Max charging voltage, Max charging current, Discharging protection voltage):

  1. Set battery type as "USE" (user-defined) in program 05.
  2. Set C.V voltage as Max charging voltage of BMS - 0.5V in program 26.
  3. Set floating charging voltage as C.V voltage in program 27.
  4. Set Low DC cut-off voltage ≥ discharging protection voltage of BMS + 2V in program 29.

8. User Tips

  • Wi-Fi Module: The inverter includes a Wi-Fi module for remote monitoring. If you receive only the antenna and not the module, please contact customer support immediately.
  • Off-Grid Operation: This inverter is designed for off-grid use. It can operate without a battery if the PV voltage is above 160V.
  • Generator Compatibility: The inverter can work with a generator as an AC input source. However, be aware that generators can be unstable, which might affect the inverter's output stability.
  • Battery-Free Operation: The inverter can function without a battery, provided the PV input voltage is consistently above 160V. It cannot operate without both a battery and an AC grid connection if there is no sufficient PV input.

9. Warranty & Support

For warranty information, technical support, or service inquiries, please refer to the documentation provided with your purchase or contact your vendor. Ensure you have your product model and serial number ready for faster assistance.
