2. Installation Instructions
2.1 Installation precautions
 Be very careful when installing the battery. Wear safety glasses when installing a lead-acid flooded battery. If you come into contact with the battery acid, rinse with clean water immediately.  Do not place metal objects near the battery to prevent short-circuit of the battery terminals.  Hydrogen gas may be generated when the battery is charging. Please ensure \ good ventilation.  When installing the unit, be sure to leave enough space around the MNS Hybrid Inverter for proper heat dissipation. Do not install the MNS Hybrid Inverter and lead-acid battery(s) in the same cabinet to avoid corrosion by sulfuric acid gas generated during battery operation.  Only batteries that meet the requirements of the MNS Hybrid Inverter can be charged.  Poorly connected connections and corroded wires may cause terminal heating which could melt the wire insulation, burn the surrounding materials, and even cause fires. So, make sure the terminals have been tightened, and the wires are secured with ties to avoid loose connections caused by shaking of wires during mobile applications.  Avoid mounting in direct sunlight and where rainwater may get inside if mounting outside..  Even after the power is turned off, there is still high voltage inside the unit. Do not open or touch the internal components, and avoid related operations until the capacitor completely discharges.  Do not install the MNS Hybrid Inverter in harsh environments such as moist, oily, flammable or explosive, or heavily dusty areas.  Do NOT reverse polarity at the battery input terminals, otherwise it may damage the device and/or cause a fire.  The mains AC input and AC output are high voltage, so please do not touch the wiring terminals.  Keep fingers and tools away from the fan, do not touch it to prevent injury.

MN5048DIY User Manual

Step 6: Turn on the MNS Hybrid Inverter First, close the circuit breaker at the battery terminal, and then turn the rocker switch on the left side of the machine to the "ON" position. The "AC/INV" indicator flashing indicates that the inverter is working normally. Close the circuit breakers of the PV array and the AC Mains. Finally, turn on AC loads one by one to avoid overcurrent caused by a large momentary load from turning on loads all at once. Now, the unit goes into normal operation. Note: If power is supplied to different AC loads, it is recommended to first turn on the load with a large surge current. After the load is stable, turn on the load with a small surge current. Note: If the MNS Hybrid Inverter does not work properly or the LCD indicator is abnormal, refer to Chapter 6 to handle the error.

3. Operating modes
3.1 Charging mode
1) PV priority: PV module will charge the battery preferentially, and the battery is charged by the Mains only when the PV system fails. During the day, solar energy is fully used to charge, while at night, it renverts to the Mains. This can maintain battery level, and is ideal for areas where the grid is relatively stable and electricity price is relatively high.
2) Mains priority: The Mains supply is preferentially used to charge the battery. Only when the Mains are not available, the PV charging will be activated.
3) Hybrid charging: PV and mains hybrid charging. PV MPPT charging is a priority, and when PV energy is insufficient, the mains supply supplements. When the PV energy is sufficient again, the main s stop charging. This is the fastest charging mode, suitable for the areas where the power grid is unstable, providing sufficient backup power supply at any time.
4) Only Solar (Only Solar): Only PV charging, without Mains charging. This is the most energy efficient way in which the battery is charged, and is usually used in areas with good lighting conditions.

3.2 Output mode
 PV priority mode: Loads are powered by the PV module and battery. Diversified charging mode and output mode are optional. When PV priority mode is selected, utilization of green solar energy can be maximized to achieve energy saving and emission reduction. Switch to mains supply when the PV charging is not available. This mode maximizes the use of solar energy while maintaining battery power, suitable for use in the areas with relatively stable grid.
 Mains priority mode: Switch to inverter only when the mains are not available . Then, the unit is equivalent to a backup UPS, suitable for areas with unstable grid.
 Inverter priority mode: Switch to mains supply only when the battery is under voltage. This mode maximizes the use of DC power and is best suited for areas with a stable grid.
 Mixed loading mode: when the battery is fully charged, the battery no longer needs to be charged. At this time, the load is provided by the photovoltaic and the commercial power Photovoltaic maximum power output is not enough to be supplemented by the utility

5. Other functions
5.1 Dry contact
Working principle: This dry contact can start and stop the generator to charge the battery. Normally, the terminals are that the NC-N point is closed and the NO - N point is open;  When the battery voltage reaches the low voltage disconnection point, the relay coil is energized, and the terminals turn to that the NO - N point is closed while NC - N point is open. At this point, NO-N point can drive resistive loads: 125VAC/1A, 230VAC/1A, 30VDC/1A.

Normally Closed
Common
Normally Open

5.2 USB communication port
This is a USB communication port, which can be used for USB communication with the optional PC host software . To use this port, you should install the corresponding "USB to serial chip CH340T driver" and APP in the computer.
