4. Operation
4.1 Powering On/Off
- Power On: Ensure all connections are secure. Switch on the AC input breaker, then the DC battery breaker (if applicable), and finally the inverter's ON/OFF rocker switch.
- Power Off: Reverse the power-on sequence. First, switch off the inverter's ON/OFF rocker switch, then the DC battery breaker, and finally the AC input breaker.
4.2 LCD Display and Settings
The LCD screen provides real-time monitoring of photovoltaic system operating data. Use the touchable keys to navigate menus and adjust settings.

4.3 Charging Modes
The inverter offers four charging modes:
- Solar Only: Charges batteries exclusively from solar power.
- Mains Priority: Charges batteries primarily from the utility grid, with solar as a supplement.
- Solar Priority: Charges batteries primarily from solar, with the utility grid as a supplement.
- Mixed Mains/PV Charging: Utilizes both utility and PV power for charging.
4.4 Output Modes
The inverter supports two output modes:
- Utility Bypass: Loads are powered directly by the utility grid.
- Inverter Output: Loads are powered by the inverter (from solar or battery).
4.5 Time-Slot Charging/Discharging
The inverter features a time-slot charging and discharging function, allowing users to set specific periods for charging and discharging based on local electricity tariffs. This optimizes energy usage and can reduce costs.
Note: Before using this function, set the local time in parameters 54 and 55, then configure the time slots.

4.6 Power Saving Mode
Enable power saving mode to conserve energy. If the load power drops below 50W, the inverter will switch off after a 5-minute delay. When the load exceeds 50W, the inverter automatically restarts.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your inverter.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the inverter with a dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris. The inverter features a detachable insect-proof screen for easy cleaning.
- Connections: Annually inspect all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
