2. Setup and Installation

The EDECOA Hybrid Inverter is designed for lightweight handling and easy installation. Proper setup is crucial for optimal performance and safety.

2.1. Site Selection:

• Choose a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
• Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the inverter's weight (8 kg).
• Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture.

2.2. Physical Dimensions:

Consider the dimensions for proper placement and ventilation clearance.

Figure 3: Product dimensions: 442mm (17.4 inches) height, 358mm (14.09 inches) width, and 116mm (4.57 inches) depth. Note: The WiFi box shown is not included with the product.

2.3. Electrical Connections:

• Connect solar panels to the PV input terminals, ensuring voltage is within the 60-500 Vdc range.
• Connect the battery bank (24V) to the designated battery terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
• Connect the AC input (grid or generator) to the AC input terminals.
• Connect your loads to the AC output terminals.
• Always ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated before powering on the unit.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1. Powering On/Off:

• Ensure all connections are correct before powering on.
• Follow the specific power-up sequence outlined in the full manual (typically battery first, then PV, then AC input).
• To power off, reverse the sequence.

3.2. LCD Display and Settings:

The inverter features an LCD display for monitoring system status and configuring settings. You can adjust parameters such as battery type (FLD, AGM, Gel, LiFePo4), charge current, and output priority.

3.3. MPPT Solar Charging:

The integrated 120A MPPT controller continuously tracks the maximum power point of your solar array, ensuring optimal energy harvest. This leads to higher power output and improved battery charging efficiency.

Figure 5: MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) ensures up to 98% efficiency in converting solar energy, supporting a wide range of 60-500V and up to 6200W from solar panels.

3.4. AC Charging and Battery Management:

The inverter includes a 100A AC charger for efficient battery charging from the grid or a generator. It supports a 6-phase charging process (Soft Start, Bulk, Absorption, Float, Equalize, Float) for extended battery life.

Figure 6: The 6-phase AC charge mode ensures longer battery life and faster charging up to 100A Max.

3.5. UPS Functionality:

In UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) mode, the inverter acts as a backup power source. If the main power source (grid or generator) fails, the inverter automatically switches to battery power within 10 milliseconds, ensuring your connected appliances remain operational without interruption.

3.6. ECO Mode:

Activate ECO mode to reduce the inverter's idle power consumption to less than 15W. This feature helps conserve battery power when the inverter is not actively supplying a significant load.

3.7. Smart Control with EDECOA App:

For enhanced control and monitoring, the EDECOA inverter is compatible with a dedicated mobile application (requires optional WiFi module). The app allows you to:

• Personalize and control settings remotely.
• Monitor real-time system sensor data.
• Access records and analyze system sensor data.
• Receive directives for system errors.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your EDECOA Hybrid Inverter.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the inverter with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris.
• Connection Checks: Regularly inspect all electrical connections (PV, battery, AC input/output) to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion.
• Environmental Check: Verify that the installation environment remains cool, dry, and well-ventilated.
• Battery Health: Monitor your battery bank's health according to the battery manufacturer's guidelines.

5. Troubleshooting

The EDECOA Hybrid Inverter is equipped with multiple protection features to ensure safe and reliable operation. If you encounter issues, refer to the following common scenarios:

• No Output Power: Check all input connections (PV, battery, AC grid). Ensure the inverter is powered on and not in a fault state. Verify battery voltage is within the operational range.
• Overload Protection: If the inverter shuts down due to overload, reduce the connected load. The inverter features automatic restart once the AC input recovers.
• Over-temperature Protection: Ensure adequate ventilation around the inverter. Clear any obstructions from the cooling vents. The unit will automatically restart once it cools down.
• Short-Circuit Protection: If a short circuit is detected on the output, the inverter will shut down to prevent damage. Identify and resolve the short circuit before attempting to restart.
• System Errors: The LCD display will show error codes. Refer to the full user manual for a comprehensive list of error codes and their corresponding solutions. The EDECOA app can also provide directives for system errors.
• Cold Start Function: The inverter supports cold start, allowing it to power on directly from batteries without an AC input, useful in off-grid scenarios.
