5. Setup
Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Placement: Choose a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location for the inverter. Ensure it is away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and any flammable materials. Maintain adequate clearance around the inverter for proper airflow.
- Battery Connection:
- Ensure the battery voltage is 12V DC. A recommended battery capacity of 200Ah or more is suggested for optimal performance.
- Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) terminal of the 12V battery and the positive (+) terminal of the inverter.
- Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) terminal of the 12V battery and the negative (-) terminal of the inverter.
- Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent loose connections, which can cause overheating and damage.
- Grounding: Connect the grounding cable from the inverter's grounding terminal to a reliable earth ground point.
- Remote Control Connection: Plug the remote control cable into the designated port on the inverter.
- Battery Type Selection and Low Voltage Shutdown Adjustment:
- The inverter allows you to select the battery type (e.g., GEL, LI, LifePO4, NCM, AGM, CLA). Refer to the inverter's display or manual for specific instructions on how to select your battery type.
- You can adjust the DC input undervoltage shutdown value between 9.5V and 11.5V to prevent over-discharging your battery. Default values are 9.5V for lead-acid (H1:ACID), 11.2V for ternary lithium (H2:NCM), and 10.4V for LiFePO4 (H3:LFP).
