6. Operating Instructions
The inverter offers various charging and load output modes to optimize energy usage.
6.1 Charging Modes
Select the appropriate charging mode via the LCD display based on your energy priorities.
Figure 6.1: Overview of the four available charging modes.
- Solar Priority: Prioritizes PV charging; utility charging activates only when solar energy is insufficient.
- Utility Priority: Prioritizes grid/generator charging; solar charging takes over when utility is unavailable.
- Hybrid Charging: Combines PV + utility/generator charging; PV leads, utility supplements when solar is low.
- Solar Only: Exclusive PV charging; no grid/generator power is used for battery charging.
6.2 Load Output Modes
Configure how the inverter supplies power to your loads.
Figure 6.2: Overview of the four available load output modes.
- Solar Priority: PV and battery power the load; switches to utility power only when PV energy is insufficient.
- Utility Priority: Utility power supplies the load first; switches to battery/PV only when utility fails.
- Inverter Priority: Battery/PV power the load; switches to utility only when battery voltage is too low.
- Hybrid Supply Mode: PV + utility jointly power the load when hybrid function is enabled; no grid feedback supported.
6.3 LCD Display and Parameter Settings
The LCD provides real-time monitoring and allows for custom parameter adjustments.

Use the UP, DOWN, ESC, and ENTER buttons to navigate menus and adjust settings. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific parameter modifications.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your inverter.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the inverter's exterior with a dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris.
- Connections: Annually inspect all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion. Loose connections can cause overheating and poor performance.
- Environment: Verify that the installation environment remains within the recommended temperature and humidity ranges.
- Battery Inspection: If using lead-acid batteries, check electrolyte levels and terminal conditions as per battery manufacturer guidelines.
- Performance Monitoring: Regularly check the LCD display for any fault indicators or unusual readings.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your inverter, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps before contacting support.
- No Power Output: Check if the inverter is switched on. Verify battery connections and voltage. Ensure AC input (utility/generator) is present if configured.
- Fault Indicator On: Check the LCD display for specific error codes. Refer to the inverter's detailed error code list (if available in a separate document or on-screen menu) for diagnosis.
- Low Output Power: Ensure the load does not exceed the inverter's rated capacity. Check battery charge level and solar input.
- Overheating: Ensure adequate ventilation. Clear any obstructions from the inverter's cooling fins. Reduce load if operating in high ambient temperatures.
- Battery Not Charging: Verify solar panel connections and voltage. Check AC input if utility/generator charging is enabled. Ensure charging mode settings are correct.
If the problem persists after attempting these steps, please contact customer support.
