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 the package: The unit x 1 User manual x 1 Parallel cable x 2 ...
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 the table below to select proper amperage, required fuse or breaker size.
CAUTION!! Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal and the ring terminal. Otherwise, overheating may occur. CAUTION!! Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are connected tightly. 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 (-).
4. Then, insert AC output wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten terminal screws. Be sure to connect PE protective conductor ( ) first. →Ground (yellow-green) L→LINE (brown or black) N→Neutral (blue) 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.
OPERATION Power ON/OFF Once the unit has been properly installed and the batteries are connected well, simply press On/Off switch to turn on the unit. Operation and Display Panel The operation and display panel, shown in below chart, is on the front panel of the inverter. It includes three indicators, three function keys and a LCD display, indicating the operating status and input/output power information.
LCD Display Icons Icon Function description Input Source Information Indicates input voltage, input frequency and battery voltage, charging power or setting value. Output Information Indicates output voltage, output frequency, setting program NO or fault code. Indicates percentage of load Battery Information Indicates battery level by 0-24%, 25-49%, 50-74% and 75-100% in battery mode and charging status.
