4. Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the inverter's performance and safety. Refer to the detailed wiring diagrams in the full instruction manual for specific connection procedures.
- Mounting: Securely mount the inverter in a location that allows for adequate ventilation and access for connections.
- Battery Connection: The inverter is compatible with 48V AGM, GEL, Lead-acid, Li-ion, and LiFePO4 batteries. Ensure correct polarity when connecting.
- PV Input: Connect your solar panels to the designated PV input ports. The inverter supports up to 6,000W+6,000W PV input with a maximum of 500VDC.
- AC Input/Output: Connect the AC input from the grid or generator and the AC output to your loads.
- Grounding: Ensure the inverter is properly grounded using the grounding screw hold.
- No-Battery Operation: The inverter supports direct solar-to-load use without a battery, depending on solar availability.

5. Setup Preferences
The inverter allows you to configure charging and load priorities to optimize energy management.
Figure 9: Setup preferences for controlling battery charging and appliance power sources.
5.1 Charging Priority
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 no longer available.
- 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.
5.2 Load Priority
Control how your appliances receive power:
- Solar Priority: The inverter supplies the load first with solar power. If solar is insufficient, it will compensate from the AC input.
- AC Priority: The inverter redirects AC input to power all loads and uses DC inputs when AC input power is unavailable.
- DC Priority: The inverter prioritizes drawing power from the battery first. If the battery level is low, it will convert from AC input to power loads.
6. Operation
The inverter features an OLED light-touch screen for monitoring and adjusting parameters. The intuitive interface allows for easy control of the system's functions.
- Power On/Off: Use the ON/OFF rocker switch (component 11) to power the unit.
- Display Monitoring: The display screen (component 1) shows real-time operational data such as input/output voltage, current, power, and battery status.
- Parameter Adjustment: Navigate through the menu on the OLED screen to customize settings like charging current, output voltage range, and priority modes.
7. Wi-Fi Monitoring
The inverter includes a Wi-Fi module for remote monitoring of its operating status. This allows you to check system performance anytime, anywhere.
- App Download: Download the "Smart Value" application from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Connection: Follow the in-app instructions to connect your inverter to the Wi-Fi network.
- Real-time Data: Monitor parameters such as PV input, battery charge/discharge, AC output, and system alerts.
