4.3.1 System Overview Diagram

Figure 4.3.1: This diagram shows how the inverter connects to solar panels, AC generator/mains, a 48V battery, and various household appliances.

4.3.2 Battery Connection

Connect the 48V battery bank to the BAT+ and BAT- terminals (9) on the bottom interface. Ensure correct polarity. The inverter will not function without a connected 48V battery bank.

Figure 4.3.2: The inverter is compatible with a wide range of 48V battery types, including Flooded (FLD), AGM/Sealed (SLA), GEL, NCM, LiFePO4 (LF4), and Li-ion (LF6) batteries. A 48V battery bank is essential for operation.

4.3.3 Solar Panel Connection

Connect your solar panel array (120-500V DC) to the PV+ and PV- terminals (4). Ensure the open-circuit voltage of the solar array does not exceed the maximum input voltage specified for the inverter.

4.3.4 AC Input Connection

Connect the utility grid or AC generator to the AC Input Port (2). Install an appropriate circuit breaker between the AC source and the inverter for protection.

4.3.5 AC Output Connection

Connect your AC loads to the AC Output Port (3). Ensure the total load does not exceed the inverter's rated output power of 5000W (10000VA peak).

4.3.6 Grounding Connection

Connect the grounding screw hole (5) to an earth ground using a suitable grounding wire.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Power-On
