Lithium Battery Information Connection of Lithium battery is the same as Battery Connection. Please read the following direction of connection of BMS. 1. Before connecting, make sure that the lithium battery and inverter are turned off. (It is recommended to install a circuit breaker for the power cables of the lithium battery and the inverter battery interface.) 2. The RJ45 connector of the communication cable connects to the BMS port of the inverter, and the other RJ45 connector connects to the RS485 port of the lithium battery. 3. You will find two types of connector as were shown on the left. The top one is the RJ45 to be connected to the BMS port on the battery. The bottom one is the RJ45 to be connected to the BMS port on the inverter. |

Battery Equalization Description
Equalization function reverses the buildup of negative chemical effects like stratification, a condition where acid concentration is greater at the bottom of the battery than at the top. This condition - sulfation - will reduce the overall capacity of the battery. Therefore, it's recommended to equalize the battery periodically. Equalization also helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the plates.
How to Apply Equalization Function
Enable the battery equalization function in monitoring LCD setting program 33 first. Then apply this function in the device by either one of the following methods:
- Setting equalization interval in program 34.
- Active equalization immediately in program 39.
When to Equalize
In the float stage, when the setting equalization interval (battery equalization cycle) arrives, or equalization is active immediately, the controller will start to enter the Equalize stage.
Diagram illustrating battery charging stages: Bulk (Constant Current), Absorption (Constant Voltage), Float, and Equalize. Shows voltage and current curves during these stages.
Equalize charging time and time-out
In the Equalize stage, the controller will supply power to charge the battery as much as possible until the battery voltage raises to the battery equalization voltage. Then, constant-voltage regulation is applied to maintain the battery voltage at the battery equalization voltage. The battery will remain in the Equalize stage until the setting battery equalized time is arrived.
However, in the Equalize stage, when the battery equalized time is expired and the battery voltage doesn't rise to the battery equalization voltage point, the charge controller will extend the battery equalized time until the battery voltage achieves the battery equalization voltage. If the battery voltage is still lower than the battery equalization voltage when the battery equalized timeout setting is over, the charge controller will stop equalization and return to the float stage.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem | LCD/LED/ Buzzer | Explanation / Possible Cause | What to do |
---|---|---|---|
Shuts down automatically during startup process. | LCD/LEDs and buzzer activated 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 firmly. 2. Replacing the fuse. 3. Re-charge battery. 4. Replace battery. |
Mains exist but the unit works in battery mode. | Input voltage is displayed as 0 on the LCD and green LED flash. | Input protector is tripped. | Check if AC breaker is tripped and AC wiring is connected well. |
Green LED flashes. | 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 → Appliance) |
|
Green LED flashes. | "Solar First" is selected | Change output source priority to utility. | |
When the unit is turned on, internal relay keeps ON and OFF repeatedly. | LCD display and LEDs flash. | 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 overloaded 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 and remove abnormal load. | |
Fault code 05 | Temperature of internal converter component is over 120°C. | 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 100°C. | ||
Fault code 03 | Battery is overcharged. | Return to service center. | |
The battery voltage is too high. | Check if spec and quantity of batteries meet requirements. | ||
Fault code 01 | Fan fault | Replace the fan. | |
Fault code 06 / 58 | Output abnormal (Inverter voltage below than 190VAC or is higher than 260VAC) | 1. Reduce the connected load. 2. Return to repair center. |
|
Fault code 08/09/53/57 | Internal components failed. | Return to repair center. | |
Fault code 51 | Over current or surge | Restart and if happens again, return to repair center. | |
Fault code 52 | Bus voltage too low | ||
Fault code 55 | Output voltage imbalance | ||
Fault code 56 | Battery connection issue or fuse burnt | Check battery connection. |
