- DC Wiring: Connect the DC input cables from the solar panels to the designated DC input terminals on the inverter. Observe correct polarity (+ and -).
- AC Wiring: Connect the AC output cables from the inverter to your home's electrical panel and the utility grid connection point.
- Grounding: Ensure the inverter is properly grounded according to local electrical codes.
- System Check: Before powering on, perform a thorough visual inspection and electrical checks to confirm all connections are secure and correct.
Refer to the detailed installation guide provided with the product packaging for specific wiring diagrams and safety instructions.
3. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Loom Solar Fusion 5kW inverter operates largely automatically. It will begin converting solar energy into usable electricity when sufficient sunlight is available.
Starting the Inverter:
- Ensure all DC and AC circuit breakers are in the OFF position.
- Turn on the DC isolator switch located near the solar panels.
- Turn on the AC circuit breaker in your electrical panel.
- Turn on the DC switch on the inverter itself.
- The inverter will perform a self-test and then begin operation, indicated by status lights on the front panel.
Monitoring Performance:
The Fusion 5kW inverter offers multiple ways to monitor its performance and your solar energy generation:
- LED Display: The inverter features an integrated LED display that shows real-time operational data, including power output, voltage, and status.
- Mobile Application: Utilize the dedicated mobile app for remote monitoring. This app connects via GPRS/Wifi Kit, WLAN, Ethernet, or 5G modes, providing detailed insights into your system's performance from anywhere.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Loom Solar Fusion 5kW inverter. While the inverter is designed for durability with IP65 protection, periodic checks are beneficial.
Recommended Maintenance:
- Visual Inspection (Monthly): Check the inverter and surrounding area for any signs of damage, loose connections, or obstructions to airflow. Ensure ventilation openings are clear.
- Cleaning (Annually or as needed): Gently clean the exterior of the inverter with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit is powered off before cleaning.
- Connection Checks (Annually): Have a qualified technician inspect all electrical connections (DC and AC) to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion.
- Performance Monitoring: Regularly check the inverter's performance data via the LED display or mobile app. Significant drops in output or frequent error messages may indicate an issue.
For any internal maintenance or repairs, always contact authorized service personnel.
5. Troubleshooting
