INSTALLATION 2.1 Safety Clearance The minimum clearance to the wall shall be larger than 30cm in order to ensure proper ventilation. In the event the ambient temperature is high, it’s recommended to increase the distance of safety clearance to improve the heat dissipation. 2.2 Mounting Inverter on the Wall The inverter is designed to either be placed on horizontal surface or be mounted on the wall with various ways (as shown below). - Page 11 No matter how the batteries are connected (in series or in parallel), make sure the cables’ terminal voltage is consistent with the inverter’s specification(12V for POWERBACK PB1000S model and 24V for POWERBACK PB2000S model). It’s recommended to cover the battery terminals during the connection.

3.2 Operation Modes (after powered on) Press the Power ON/OFF button to power on the inverter and the inverter will automatically enter into either of the operation mode according to the condition of AC input and PV input as shown in the table below, LINE MODE 1 AC input power is present but there is no PV power (e.g. -
Page 16: Priority Setting Switch
3.3 Priority Setting Switch In LINE MODE 2, if priority setting switch is set to give PV priority and PV power is also strong enough to support load, the AC input will not be consumed even though it is present. This is deemed an energy-saving operation. BACKUP MODE 1 Both AC input and PV input are absent. -
Page 17: Fault Mode
BACKUP MODE 3 AC input is absent and PV power is strong enough to not only support the load but also charge the battery. As long as the PV power persists, the load can be powered continuously without consuming power from battery. 3.4 Fault Mode Inverter enters into Fault Mode when there is a fault event. - Page 18 Program Description Selectable option & behavior LCD setting display AC input Wide (default): If selected, acceptable AC voltage range input voltage range will be within 90- 280VAC Narrow: If selected, acceptable AC input voltage range will be within 170-280VAC Output Solar first (default): Solar energy provide source power to the loads as first priority.

Page 27: Appendix B
APPENDIX B HOW TO DETERMINE THE OUTPUT SOURCE PRIORITY SETTING AND CHARGER SOURCE PRIORITY SETTING? Please read this document carefully if you intend to manually set the priority setting of the product. Improper setting might compromise the function and performance of the product. The product is designed to accept both utility and solar (PV) power as input source, and it also provides a function allowing the user to determine the priority between utility and solar input power. - Page 28 5, utility will then take over to support the loads. If solar is absent, utility will then take over to support the load too. 2.2 When utility is down The behavior is the same as 1.2. Advantages Disadvantages The good utilization of Battery will experience more frequent charge and discharge solar power.
- Page 29 Charger source priority setting 1. Setting Utility as charger source priority Utility first: Utility will charge battery as first priority. Solar energy will charge battery only when utility power is not available. 2. Setting Solar as charger source priority Solar energy will charge battery as first priority. Utility will charge battery only when solar energy is not available.
