4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Mounting the Inverter
- Choose a suitable location that is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Ensure sufficient clearance around the inverter for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
- Mount the inverter vertically on a sturdy wall using appropriate fasteners.
4.2 Wiring Connections
Refer to Figure 3.2.2 for port locations. All wiring must comply with local electrical codes.
- Battery Connection: Connect the battery bank (48V DC) to the 'Batt. In (+)' and 'Batt. In (-)' terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
- PV Array Connection: Connect the solar panel array to the 'PV In+' and 'PV In-' terminals. Observe correct polarity and ensure the PV input voltage and current are within the inverter's specifications (max 110A PV).
- AC Input Connection: Connect the AC utility grid or generator to the 'AC In Port'.
- AC Output Connection: Connect your loads to the 'AC Main Out Port' and 'AC EPS Out Port'.
- Grounding: Connect the ground terminal to a reliable earth ground.
Important: Always connect the battery first, then the PV array, and finally the AC input. When disconnecting, reverse the order.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Initial Power-Up
- After all connections are secure, switch on the battery breaker.
- Switch on the PV array breaker.
- Switch on the AC input breaker.
- Finally, turn on the inverter's ON/OFF switch. The LCD display will illuminate.
5.2 LCD Display and Settings
The LCD provides real-time system status and allows configuration of various parameters.
Figure 5.2.1: LCD display interface. The display shows detailed information for Grid, Load, Solar, and Battery, including voltage, current, power, frequency, and error indicators.
Use the touchable buttons (ESC, UP, DOWN, ENTER) to navigate menus and adjust settings. Key settings include:
- Battery Type: Select the correct battery type (FLD, AGM, Gel, LiFePo4) to ensure optimal charging and discharge cycles.
- Charging Current: Adjust the maximum charging current from AC and PV sources.
- Output Voltage/Frequency: Configure AC output parameters.
5.3 Operating Modes
The inverter offers flexible operating modes to optimize power usage.
Figure 5.3.1: Output and Charging Modes. This diagram illustrates how the inverter prioritizes power sources for both load and battery charging.
5.3.1 Output Modes (for Load)
- SBU Mode (Solar > Battery > Utility): Solar power is prioritized for the load, then battery power, and finally utility power if solar and battery are insufficient.
- SUB Mode (Solar > Utility > Battery): Solar power is prioritized for the load, then utility power, and finally battery power if solar and utility are insufficient.
5.3.2 Charging Priority Options
- OSO (Solar Only): Batteries are charged exclusively by solar power.
- CSO (Solar Priority): Solar power is prioritized for charging, with utility power used only if solar is unavailable or insufficient.
- SNU (Solar + Utility): Both solar and utility power are used to charge the batteries simultaneously.
5.4 ECO Mode
The ECO mode reduces the inverter's self-consumption to less than 15 W, helping to preserve battery life when the inverter is idle or under light load conditions.
5.5 Remote Monitoring and Control (WiFi Module Compatible)
The inverter supports remote monitoring and control via a compatible WiFi module (sold separately) and a dedicated mobile application. This allows users to personalize settings, view real-time system sensors, analyze data, and retrieve system error guidelines.
