Introduction Important Safety Warning This hybrid PV inverter can provide power to connected loads Before using the inverter, please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit and this manual. Store the by utilizing PV power, utility power and battery power. manual where it can easily be accessed.
Unpacking & Overview CAUTION! In a high temperature environment, the cover of this 3.1 Packing List inverter could be hot enough to cause skin burns if accidentally Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing touched. Ensure that this inverter is away from normal traffic inside the package is damaged.
4.2 Mounting Unit Installation WARNING! Remember that this inverter is heavy! Please be 4.1 Selecting Mounting Location carefully when lifting out of the package. Consider the following points before selecting where to install: Installation to the wall must be implemented with the Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction appropriate screws and the inverter must be affixed securely.
Suggested cable requirement for AC wire Step 6: For safe operation, please use a wire with a ring terminal to connect grounding. Refer to Chart 3. Model ReneSola SineON IH3KW-48-V Nominal Grid Voltage 208/220/230/240 VAC Ring terminal: Conductor cross-section (mm2)
