Warning: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care due fo high battery voliage in sefies.
Caution!! Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal and the fing tenminal. Other wise, overheating may ocout
Caution!! Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the tenminals before feminals are connected fightly.
Caution!! Bsfore making the findl DC connection or closing DC breaker/disconnector, be sure postive (+) must be connected fo pasilive (+) and negaiive (-) must be connected fo negaive [-).
5.5 AC Input/Output connection
‘Caution!! Before connecting fo AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and AC input power sourc. This will ensure the inverer can be securely disconnected duing maintenance and fully profected fiom over curent of AC input. The recommended spec of AC breaker is 104 for PDAT500-STATION, 32 Afor PDA3000-STATION.
Caution!! There are two teminal blocks with IN* and *OUT” markings. Please do NOT mis-connect input and oufput connectors.
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel.
WARNING! It’s very important for system safety and efficient operation fo use appropriate cable for AC input connection. Toreduce fisk of injury, please use he proper recommended cable size as below.
Suggested cable requirement for AC wires.
Model | Gauge | Torque value |
PDA1500-STATION | 14AWG | 0.5~0.6 Nm |
PDA3000-STATION | 12AWG | 1.2~1.6Nm |
Please follow below steps fo implement AC input/output connection:
- Before making AC inpui/oufput connection, be sure fo open DC profector or dsconnector first.
- Remmove insulation skeeve 10mm for sk conductors. And shoren phase L and neutral conductor N 3mm.
- Insert AC input wires according to polartiies indicated on ferminal block and fighten the ferminal screws.
Be sure fo connect PE protective conductor () first.

- Make sure the wires are secursly connected.
Caution: Important!!
Be sure fo connect AC wires with correct polaiiy. If Land N wires are connected reversely, it moy cause ufifty shortcircuited when these inverters are worked in pardilel operaion.
Caution:
Applances such as air condifioner are requited at least 2~3 minutes o restart because it required fo have enough time fo balance refrigerant gas inside of circus. If a power shortage oceurs and recovers in a short time, it il cause damage fo your connected appliances. To prevent ihis kind of damage, please check manufacturer of air condioner i i’s equipped with fime-delay function before installafion. Othewise, fhis inverter/charger wil tig overload fault and cut off oufput fo protect your appliance but somefimes it stil causes intemnal damage fo the i conditioner.

Battery equalization description
Equalizaion funciion is added info charge controller.f reverses fhe buidup of negaive cherical effects like shaification, a condifion where acid concentration is redter at he botiom of the battery than af the fop.
Equalizaiion also helps fo remove sulfate crystals that might have bt up on the plates. If eft unchecked, this condifion, called sufiation, will reduce the overall capacily of the bttery. Therefore, ifs recommended fo equalze battery perodicaly.”
How to apply equalization funcfion
You must enable battery equalization funcfion in monitoring LCD seting program 30 fis. Then, you may apply his funclion in device by either one of following methods:
- Sefiing equaiization inferval in program 35.
- Aciive equaization immediately in program 36.
When fo equalizer
In float siage, when e sefiing equaization interval (oattery equaiization cyce) is anived. or equalization is active inmediately, ihe controller il start fo enter Equalize stage.Equalize charging fime and fimeout
In Equaiize siage, the controller wil supply power fo charge battery as much as possible unii battery volfage taises to batiery equalization voliage. Then, constantvottage regulafion is applied fo maintain battery volfage atthe battery equalzaion votiage. The bttery willemain in the Equalize stage uniilsetiing batery equalized time is arived.
However, in Equaiize stage, when batiery equaized fime is expired and batiery voliage doesnt ise fo batery equalization voliage point, ihe charge conrallerwill xtend the batiery equaized fime unfil battery voliage achieves battery equalization vofiage. If batiery voltage i sfl lower than battery equalizaion vofiage when battery equalized fimeout sefiing is over, the charge controller wil stop equalization and return fo float stage.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem | LCD / LED / Buzzer | Explanation / Possible cause | What to do |
Unit shuts down automatically during startup process. | LCD/LEDs and buzzer will be active for 3 seconds and then complete off. | The battery voltage is too low (<1.91V/Cell) . | 1. Re-charge battery. 2. Replace battery. |
No response after power on. | No indication. | 1. The battery voltage is far too low. (<1.4V/Cell) 2. Battery polarity is connected reversed. |
1. Check if batteries and the wiring are connected well. 2. Re-charge battery. 3. Replace battery. |
Mains exist but the unit works in battery mode. | Input voltage is displayed as 0 on the LCD and green LED is flashing. | Input protector is tripped. | Check if AC breaker is tripped and AC wiring is connected well. |
Green LED is flashing. | Insufficient quality of AC power. (Shore or Generator). | 1. Check if AC wires are too thin and/or too long. 2 Check if generator (if applied) is working well or if input voltage range setting is correct. (UPS ![]() |
|
Green LED is flashing. | Set “Solar First” as the priority of outout source. | Change output source priority to Utility first. | |
When the unit is turned on, internal relay is switched on and off repeatedly. | LCD display and LEDs are flashing. | Battery is disconnected. | Check if battery wires are connected well. |
Buzzer beeps continuously and red LED is on. | Fault code 07. | Overload error. The inverter is overload 110% and time is up. | Reduce the connected load by switching off some equipment. |
Fault code 05. | Output short circuited. | Check if wiring is connected well an remove abnormal load. | |
Temperature of internal converter component is over 120ºC. | Check whether the air flow of the unit is blocked or whether the ambient temperature is too high. | ||
Fault code 02. | Internal temperature of inverter component is over 100ºC. | ||
Fault code 03. | Battery is over-charged. | Return to repair center. | |
The battery voltage is too high. | Check if spec and quantity of batteries are meet requirements. | ||
Fault code 01. | Fan fault. | Replace the fan. | |
Fault code 06. | Output abnormal (inverter voltage below than 190Vac or is higher than 260VAC). | 1. Reduce the connected load. 2. Return to reoair center. |
|
Fault code 08/09. | Internal components failed. | Return to repair center. |
