5.2 Operation Modes and Settings
The inverter supports multiple output priorities: UTL (Utility), SOL (Solar), and SBU (Solar-Battery-Utility). These settings can typically be configured via the LCD menu to optimize energy usage based on your preferences and available power sources. Refer to the on-screen menu for detailed configuration options.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your inverter.
- Cleaning: Keep the inverter's exterior clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are clear.
- Connections: Periodically check all electrical connections (PV, battery, AC) for tightness and signs of corrosion.
- Environment: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
- Dust Cover: The detachable dust cover should be cleaned or replaced as needed, especially in harsh environments.
