4.2 Mounting the Inverter

• Choose a vertical, non-flammable surface for mounting.
• Ensure the mounting location is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Leave at least 20 cm (8 inches) clearance on all sides for proper airflow and heat dissipation.

4.3 Wiring Connections

All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.

1. Battery Connection: Connect the battery bank to the inverter's battery terminals (POS+ and NEG-). Ensure correct polarity. The inverter supports a 24VDC battery system.
2. AC Input Connection: Connect the utility grid or generator AC input to the designated AC IN terminals.
3. AC Output Connection: Connect your loads (home appliances) to the AC OUT terminals.
4. PV Input Connection: Connect the solar panel array to the PV input terminals (+PVIN-). Ensure the maximum PV array open circuit voltage does not exceed 500VDC.
5. Communication Port: Connect the WiFi module to the 'COMM PORT' for remote monitoring.
