4. Grounding: Ensure the inverter is properly grounded according to local electrical codes.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Flip the ON/OFF switch on the inverter's front panel to the "ON" position, or use the ON/OFF button on the remote controller. The LCD display will illuminate.
2. Connecting Appliances: Plug your AC appliances into the US outlets or connect them to the hardwire terminal. Ensure the total continuous power consumption does not exceed 3500 Watts, and peak power does not exceed 7000 Watts.
3. Monitoring with LCD Display: The LCD display provides crucial operational information:
   • Battery pattern and voltage (e.g., 25.6V)
   • Battery power level
   • Inverter output voltage (e.g., 120V)
   • Output current and frequency (e.g., 2.1A 60Hz)
   • Internal temperature (e.g., 39°C)
   • Protection mode indicators (flashing patterns/icons)
4. Protection Mode Behavior: The inverter will automatically shut down and display an error/alarm in case of:
   • Low Voltage Protection: If the input voltage drops below 20.2V (for 24V system), the inverter will alarm and shut down. (Demonstrated in Video 4.1, 0:15-0:23)
   • High Voltage Protection: If the input voltage exceeds 30.4V (for 24V system), the inverter will alarm and shut down. (Demonstrated in Video 4.1, 0:23-0:28)
   • Overload Protection: If the connected load exceeds 105% of the rated power, the inverter will alarm and shut down. (Demonstrated in Video 4.1, 0:29-0:34)
   • Over Temperature Protection: If the internal temperature exceeds 80°C, the inverter will alarm and shut down. (Demonstrated in Video 4.1, 0:34-0:40)
   When a protection mode is triggered, remove the cause (e.g., reduce load, check battery, allow cooling) and restart the inverter.
