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 of package: Inverter unit Manual RS-232 cable Parallel communication cable Current sharing cable Preparation Before connecting all wirings, please take off bottom cover by removing two screws.
Wire Size Dimensions Amperage capacity value D (mm) L (mm) SP7000 Handy Ultra 167A 250AH 1*1/0AWG 39.2 5 Nm Please follow below steps to implement battery connection: 1. Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size.
Suggested cable requirement for AC wires Model Gauge Torque Value SP7000 Handy Ultra 8 AWG 1.4~ 1.6Nm Please follow below steps to implement AC input/output connection: 1. Before making AC input/output connection, be sure to open DC protector or disconnector first.
5. Make sure the wires are securely connected. CAUTION: Important Be sure to connect AC wires with correct polarity. If L and N wires are connected reversely, it may cause utility short-circuited when these inverters are worked in parallel operation. 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.

BATTERY EQUALIZATION Equalization function is added into charge controller. It reverses the buildup of negative chemical effects like stratification, a condition where acid concentration is greater at the bottom of the battery than at the top. Equalization also helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the plates. If left unchecked, this condition, called sulfation, will reduce the overall capacity of the battery.
