  • Page 15: Working Mode

    Switch OFF the circuit breaker at the battery end, then the rocker switch ON the right side of iCAN Mini. The "AC / INV" flashes to indicate that the inverter is working normally. Again, switch OFF the circuit breaker of PV array and utility power. After the AC is outputted normally, turn on AC load one by one, to avoid the protection action caused by a large momentary impact from the simultaneous startup of the load.

  • Page 16: Output Mode

     Mixed charging (Solar and utility): Charge is completed with hybrid supplement of solar power and utility power. Solar MPPT is primary source for charge of battery, and utility power is supplied when solar energy is not sufficient. When solar energy is sufficient, charge source is switched from utility power to solar energy.
  • Page 17 photovoltaic panel if the load power is less than the power supplied by solar energy, but the maximum inversion load shall be the half of rated power. When solar power is not available, utility power is switched for supplement. This mode is to maximize the usage of solar energy and maintain the battery capacity at the same time, and it is suitable for the place in which power grid is stable relatively.
