4.2.1 Battery Connection

• Connect the positive (+) terminal of the 48V battery bank to the positive (+) battery terminal on the inverter.
• Connect the negative (-) terminal of the 48V battery bank to the negative (-) battery terminal on the inverter.
• Ensure connections are tight and secure.

4.2.2 Solar PV Connection

• Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads from your solar panel array to the corresponding PV input terminals on the inverter.
• Verify that the PV input voltage (120-500Vdc) and current are within the inverter's specifications. Optimal operating voltage range is 300-400Vdc.

4.2.3 AC Input Connection (Utility/Generator)

• Connect the AC input from the utility grid or a generator to the AC input terminals on the inverter.
• The rated input voltage is 220/230/240VAC.

4.2.4 AC Output Connection (Loads)

• Connect your AC loads (appliances) to the AC output terminals on the inverter.
• The output voltage is 220/230/240VAC ±5%.

4.2.5 Grounding

Connect the inverter's ground terminal to a reliable earth ground.

5. Operation

Once installed, the inverter can be configured and operated using its LCD display and control buttons, or via remote monitoring.

5.1 Powering On/Off

1. Power On: Ensure all connections are secure. Turn on the battery breaker first, then the AC input breaker (if used), and finally the solar PV breaker. Press the power button on the inverter.
2. Power Off: Reverse the power-on sequence. Turn off the solar PV breaker, then the AC input breaker, and finally the battery breaker. Press the power button to shut down the inverter.

5.2 Charging Modes

The inverter offers four selectable charging modes:

• Solar Priority: Solar power is the primary source for charging batteries and supplying loads. Utility/generator is used only when solar is insufficient.
• Utility Priority: Utility/generator power is the primary source for charging batteries and supplying loads. Solar is used only when utility/generator is unavailable.
• Solar Only: Only solar power is used to charge the batteries.
• Utility Hybrid Charging: A combination of utility and solar power is used for charging.

5.3 Output Modes

The inverter offers three selectable output modes:
