3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your inverter. Follow these guidelines carefully.

3.1 Mounting the Inverter

• Choose a dry, well-ventilated indoor location away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and flammable materials.
• Ensure sufficient clearance around the inverter for proper airflow (at least 20 cm on all sides).
• Mount the inverter vertically on a sturdy wall using appropriate fasteners.

3.2 Wiring Connections

All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure all power sources are disconnected before making any connections.

1. PV Input Connection: Connect the solar panel array to the PV input terminals. Observe correct polarity (+/-). The maximum open circuit voltage should not exceed 500VDC.
2. Battery Connection: Connect the battery bank to the battery terminals. Ensure correct polarity. The inverter supports 24VDC battery systems (lead-acid or lithium).
3. AC Input Connection: Connect the AC grid power to the AC input terminals.
4. AC Output Connection: Connect your AC loads (appliances) to the AC output terminals.
5. Grounding: Ensure the inverter is properly grounded according to local electrical codes.
