3. Layout of the EVOTM · Refer to Section 2 starting at page 28 of the EVOTM Owner's manual to become familiar with all the relevant connection points and components.
4. Mounting the Units · Refer to mounting information at Section 3.3 starting at page 32 of the EVOTM Owner's Manual · Plan a safe location and routing of wiring for the associated components · Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the weight of at least 60Kg/132lbs · Ensure that the mounting location is cool, dry and allows unobstructed air flow for cooling · Mounting requires four (quantity 4) M6 or ¼" bolts to secure the inverter horizontally or vertically on a wall with at least 8"/200 mm clearance around the unit. All dimensional information is shown in Fig 3.1 at page 32 of the EVOTM Owner's Manual.
! CAUTION!
PLAN SYSTEM GROUND AND GROUND FAULT PROTECTION PRIOR TO INSTALLATION · Ensure that the entire installation is properly grounded to meet Local and National Electrical Codes. · Refer to typical grounding arrangement at Fig 3.15 at page 65 of the EVOTM Owner's Manual. · Ensure that the AC Neutral is bonded to the Earth Ground at only one point.
5. Plan the Battery Bank · Select the type and size of the battery bank and bank configuration. Refer to Section 3.4 starting at page 34 of the Owner's Manual regarding installation of batteries. · Determine the overall Ah capacity (C) of the battery bank. · Check with the battery manufacturer regarding maximum recommended charging current. The factory default "Bulk Current" parameter is set to 40A. · Locate an appropriate area for the battery bank and cable routing to the EVOTM. · The EVOTM comes with a battery temperature sensor model EVO-BTS. This sensor provides information to the charging algorithm to ensure a proper and safe charge to the battery. Refer to Section 2.5 starting at page 31 of the EVOTM Owner's Manual. · An appropriately sized DC disconnect switch is recommended.
6. Select and procure the appropriate wire size and lengths for the intended type of installation along with the appropriate breaker/fuse sizes · For sizing the AC input wiring and breakers, refer to TABLES 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 at page 50 and TABLE 3.2.3 at page 51 of the EVOTM Owner's Manual. · For sizing the AC output wiring and breaker, refer to TABLE 3.3 at page 53 of the EVOTM Owner's Manual. · For sizing the DC (Battery side) wiring and fuse, refer to TABLE 3.1 at page 43 of the EVOTM Owner's Manual.

7. Determine whether the optional EVO-RC remote control is necessary for your application
· The EVO-RC provides useful functional information such as battery voltage, battery charging status, and AC output power. The EVO-RC is also capable of logging events to an SD card to create a history record of usage and performance.
· The EVO-RC is required to adjust any of the programmable parameters to customize its functionality to your specific requirements. Please refer to the EVO-RC Owner's Manual for all programming instructions.
· If the factory defaults are adequate for your requirements or once parameters are adjusted to meet your requirements, it is not necessary to keep the EVO-RC attached to the EVOTM Inverter Charger to maintain functionality.
· If the user would like to have the EVO-RC installed, there is a 1:1 wall cutout template in the EVO-RC box for a flush mounted installation with basic installation instructions.
WARNING!
If there are any items in Sections 1, 2 or 3 of the EVOTM Owner's Manual that you do not understand, do not attempt to install the unit yourself. For a safe and code compliant installation, please consult a Certified Electrician that is familiar with Local and National electrical codes. All electrical systems both DC and AC must be disconnected from the source during the installation. Use of isolated tools is recommended.
8. You are now ready to install the EVOTM Inverter Charger
· Re-read Section 3, starting the EVOTM Owner's Manual · Mount the EVOTM in the planned location · Mount, cable, and attach the optional EVO-RC if desired · Install AC Input and AC output wiring and breakers · Install the battery bank in the planned configuration · Connect the battery bank to the EVOTM Inverter Charger · Recheck all wiring, grounding, and connections
9. If all wiring, grounding, and connections are correct, complete the installation
· Tighten cable glands · Install DC terminal covers · Replace AC access cover · Place DC fuse in fuse holder. When placing this fuse a spark can occur. · Switch on the DC · Switch on the AC
10. Switch on the EVO Inverter Charger.
· Press and hold the ON/OFF Button. · Green LED labeled "ON" will flash 3 times, will go off momentarily, then resume
ON steady. Now release the ON/OFF Button (This procedure takes around 2 sec). · If the EVO does not start immediately, switch OFF the DC and AC power.

· Investigate the cause of the malfunction by referring to "Fault Messages and Troubleshooting Guide" in Table 7.1 of Section 7 of the EVO-RC Owner's Manual.
i INFO
The optional EVO-RC Remote Control provides the user with the ability to modify the EVO Inverter Charger's operating parameters. The default settings in EVO Inverter Charger are adequate for some installations but may have to be modified for others. It is strongly recommended that the user review the EVO Owner's Manual before putting any load or charging batteries.
11. Your EVO inverter Charger is delivered with various default configurations
The values will depend on the model you have. Refer to Section 6.4 starting at Pages 111 for a listing of programmable parameters and factory default values. The EVO-RC Owner's Manual is dedicated to the use of the optional Remote Control EVO-RC and includes programming, and user instructions of these parameter.
12. The following parameters are the basic parameters which may require modification depending on your configuration:
· Date and time · Charging Voltages (Absorption, Equalization, Float) · Charging current · Power Saving Function
! CAUTION!
If you are not sure of what parameters you need to change or what values to change to, consult your point of purchase or call Samlex Tech Support. You should also consult a Certified Electrician who is familiar with Local and National Electrical Codes to ensure a safe and code compliant installation.
