INSTALLATION
Unpacking and Inspection
Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. You should have received the following items inside of package:
 The unit x 1  User manual x 1  Communication cable x 1  Software CD x 1  DC Fuse x 1 (only for 3KVA/5KVA models)  Ring terminal x 1 (only for 3KVA/5KVA models)  Strain relief plate x 2 (not for 1K/2K models with MPPT)  Screws x 4 (not for 1K/2K models with MPPT)
Preparation
Before connecting all wirings, please take off bottom cover by removing two screws as shown below.
Mounting the Unit
Consider the following points before selecting where to install:  Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.  Mount on a solid surface  Install this inverter at eye level in order to allow the LCD display
to be read at all times.  For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance of
approx. 20 cm to the side and approx. 50 cm above and below the unit.  The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 55°C to ensure optimal operation.  The recommended installation position is to be adhered to the wall vertically.  Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the diagram to guarantee sufficient heat dissipation and to have enough space for removing wires.
SUITABLE FOR MOUNTING ON CONCRETE OR OTHER NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE ONLY.

Install the unit by screwing two screws. It's recommended to use M4 or M5 screws.

Battery Connection
CAUTION: For safety operation and regulation compliance, it's requested to install a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect device between battery and inverter. It may not be requested to have a disconnect device in some applications, however, it's still requested to have over-current protection installed. Please refer to typical amperage in below table as required fuse or breaker size.

WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for battery connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable as below.

Recommended battery cable size:

Cable (mm2) 25 35

Torque valuemax 2 Nm

Please follow below steps to implement battery connection: 1. Remove insulation sleeve 18 mm for positive and negative conductors. 2. Suggest to put bootlace ferrules on the end of positive and negative wires
with a proper crimping tool. 3. Fix strain relief plate to the inverter by supplied screws as shown in below
chart.

4. 1KVA model supports 12VDC system, 2KVA/3KVA model supports 24VDC system and 5KVA model supports 48VDC system. Connect all battery packs as below chart. It's suggested to connect at least 100Ah capacity battery for 1-3KVA model and at least 200Ah capacity battery for 5KVA model.
5. Insert the battery wires flatly into battery connectors of inverter and make sure the bolts are tightened with torque of 2 Nm in clockwise direction. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the inverter/charge is correctly connected and conductors are tightly screwed into the battery terminals. Recommended tool: #2 Pozi Screwdriver
6. To firmly secure wire connection, you may fix the wires to strain relief with cable tie.
WARNING: Shock Hazard Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series. CAUTION!! Before making the final DC connection or closing DC breaker/disconnector, be sure positive (+) must be connected to positive (+) and negative (-) must be connected to negative

(-).

AC Input/Output Connection
CAUTION!! Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and AC input power source. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input. The recommended spec of AC breaker is 10A for 1KVA, 20A for 2KVA, 32A for 3KVA/3KVA Plus and 50A for 5KVA. CAUTION!! There are two terminal blocks with "IN" and "OUT" markings. Please do NOT mis-connect input and output connectors.

WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel. WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for AC input connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below. Suggested cable requirement for AC wires

Please follow below steps to implement AC input/output connection: 1. Before making AC input/output connection, be sure to open DC protector or disconnector first. 2. Remove insulation sleeve 10mm for six conductors. And shorten phase L and neutral conductor N 3 mm. 3. For 1KVA/2KVA models, simply connect AC utility to AC input of the inverter with a plug.
For 3KVA-5KVA models, insert AC input wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten the terminal screws. Be sure to connect PE protective conductor ( ) first.

5. Make sure the wires are securely connected.
CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner are required at least 2~3 minutes to restart because it's required to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits. If a power shortage occurs and recovers in a short time, it will cause damage to your connected appliances. To prevent this kind of damage, please check manufacturer of air conditioner if it's equipped with time-delay function before installation. Otherwise, this inverter/charger will trig overload fault and cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes it still causes internal damage to the air conditioner.

PV Connection
CAUTION: Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit breaker between inverter and PV modules.

Battery Equalization Description
Equalization function is added into charge controller. It 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. Equalization also helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the plates. If left unchecked, this condition, called sulfation, will reduce the overall capacity of the battery. Therefore, it's recommended to equalize battery periodically.  How to Apply Equalization Function You must enable battery equalization function in monitoring LCD setting program 30 first. Then, you may apply this function in device by either one of following methods: 1. Setting equalization interval in program 35. 2. Active equalization immediately in program 36.  When to Equalize In float stage, when the setting equalization interval (battery equalization cycle) is arrived, or equalization is active immediately, the controller will start to enter Equalize stage.
 Equalize charging time and timeout In Equalize stage, the controller will supply power to charge battery as much as possible until battery voltage raises to battery equalization voltage. Then, constant-voltage regulation is applied to maintain battery voltage at the battery equalization voltage. The battery will remain in the Equalize stage until setting battery equalized time is arrived.
29

However, in Equalize stage, when battery equalized time is expired and battery voltage doesn't rise to battery equalization voltage point, the charge controller will extend the battery equalized time until battery voltage achieves battery equalization voltage. If battery voltage is still lower than battery equalization voltage when battery equalized timeout setting is over, the charge controller will stop equalization and return to float stage.
