5. Operating Instructions
5.1. LCD Screen and Indicator LEDs
The inverter features an LCD screen and indicator LEDs to provide real-time status updates. The LCD allows for configuration of various system settings.
- AC OUT LED: Indicates AC output status.
- CHARGE LED: Indicates battery charging status.
- FAULT LED: Indicates system errors or faults.
Use the control buttons adjacent to the LCD screen to navigate menus and adjust settings such as charging current, voltage thresholds, and operational priority modes.
5.2. Charging Priority Modes
The inverter offers four charging modes to control how the battery bank is charged from different power sources:
- Solar Priority: The inverter prioritizes solar power for charging. AC input will only charge the battery when solar power is insufficient.
- Solar and AC Input: The inverter charges the battery bank from both solar and AC power simultaneously.
- Solar Only: The inverter charges the battery bank exclusively from available solar power.
- Hybrid Charging: (Details typically configured via settings, balancing solar and AC based on battery level and load).

5.3. Output Priority Modes
The inverter provides three output modes to manage how appliances are powered:
- Mains Priority (AC Priority): The inverter will redirect AC input to power all loads. If AC input is not available, it will switch to inverter output from batteries/solar.
- PV Priority (Solar Priority): The inverter will use solar power to supply the load first. If solar power is insufficient, it will draw from AC input or batteries.
- Inverter Output (DC Priority): The inverter prioritizes drawing power from the battery. If the battery level is low, it will switch to AC input.
5.4. No-Battery Operation
The inverter supports operation without a connected battery bank for direct solar-to-load applications. In this mode, the inverter will directly power loads from solar PV input. Ensure proper configuration for this mode as per the detailed manual.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your inverter. Always disconnect all power sources before performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the inverter with a dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris.
- Connections: Annually check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.
- Battery Health: If using a battery bank, monitor battery health and perform maintenance as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
- Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website or app for any available firmware updates for the inverter or WiFi module.
