5. Setup
Important: Installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended.
5.1. Mounting
Mount the inverter and battery module in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure sufficient clearance around the units for airflow.
5.2. Electrical Connections
- Battery Connection: Connect the LiFePO4 battery module to the inverter using the provided connection cable kit. Ensure correct polarity.
- Solar Panel Connection: Connect your solar panel array to the inverter's MPPT input. Verify that the solar panel voltage and current are within the inverter's specifications.
- AC Input (Grid/Generator): Connect the inverter to your main electrical grid or a generator using the network cable.
- AC Output (Loads): Connect your household appliances or distribution panel to the inverter's AC output.
5.3. Wi-Fi Module Connection
Attach the Wi-Fi module to the designated port on the inverter. Ensure the antenna is securely connected for optimal signal reception.

7. Maintenance
The revolt solar battery module and hybrid inverter system is designed for minimal maintenance.
- LiFePO4 Battery: The integrated LiFePO4 battery is absolutely maintenance-free due to its advanced BMS technology.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all electrical connections for tightness and signs of wear. Ensure ventilation openings on both units are clear of dust and debris.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the units with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
8. Troubleshooting
If the system is not operating as expected, consider the following basic troubleshooting steps:
- No Power Output: Check all input power sources (solar, grid, battery) and ensure they are connected and active. Verify that the inverter is powered on.
- Error Codes on Display: Refer to the detailed user manual for explanations of specific error codes displayed on the inverter.
- Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues: Ensure the Wi-Fi module is correctly installed and its antenna is properly positioned. Check your mobile device's Wi-Fi settings and ensure it's connected to the inverter's network or has internet access if monitoring remotely.
- Overload Protection: The inverter has overload protection. If an overload occurs, reduce the connected load and restart the inverter.
- Overheating Protection: Ensure adequate ventilation. If the unit overheats, it will shut down automatically. Allow it to cool before restarting.
For persistent issues, contact a qualified electrician or customer support.
