ABOUT THIS MANUAL Purpose The purpose of this manual is to provide explanations and procedures for installing, operating and troubleshooting for the unit. This manual should be read carefully before installations and operations. Please retain this manual for future reference. Scope This document defines the functional requirements of the unit, intended for worldwide use in electronic processing equipment.
11. No AC or DC disconnects are provided as an integral part of this unit. Both AC and DC disconnects must be provided as part of the system installation. See INSTALLATION section of this manual. 12. Fuses are provided as the over current protection of the battery supply. 13.
INSTALLATION Unpacking and Inspection Carefully unpack the inverter/charger from its shipping carton. Verify all of items list below are present. Please call customer service if any items are missing. The unit 1 user’s manual Basic Configuration PL20 Series hybrid Inverter is designed to serve as a backup power supply for AC loads. The input power of PL20 Series hybrid Inverter comes from PV system and AC grid which not only supply power to AC loads but also charge the battery bank when the power from AC grid or AC generator is present (also known as Line Mode).
Note: Appliances like Air conditioner needs at least 3 minutes to restart in case of a power shortage occurs in a way that the power turns off then back on again rapidly (time is required to balance the refrigerant gas in inside circuit); so in order to protect your Air conditioner, please consult the Air conditioner manufacturer whether they have already provided time delay function before installing.

LCD display meaning Table 5. display meaning When inverter is faulty, this sign will appear. When the inverter enter the setup interface, this flag will appear. Battery capacity display. Load capacity display. Display AC input voltage and frequency, will change to the other info in every 3s. Display AC output voltage and frequency, will change to the other info in every 3s.
Table 6 Fault code meaning Fault code Fault Reason and Solution Over temperature, Inverter operate environment is very bad, insufficient ventilation fan fault and indoor temperature is very high. Close the inverter and wait (alarm light on) for 10 minutes, after inverter cool, start again, if fan fault, please replace with a new fan.

72V/30.9V = 2.33 max. number of PV panel in series is 2. (3) Max. input charging current is 20A, 20A/8.42A = 2.37 max. number of PV panel in parallel is 2. (4) Taking (1)~(3) into consideration, the optimized configuration is 2 PV panels in series as a string and 2 strings in parallel, as shown below.
(5) Check again the V and I of PV string, of string is 4 x 30.9V = 123.6V < 150V (Max. PV Input Voltage) OK of string is 3 x 8.89A = 26.67A < 30A (Max. PV Input Current) OK DISPOSAL In the event the product reaches the end of its service life, please contact the local dealer for disposal instructions.
