  • Page 20 NOTICE Depending on the battery type, the inverter should be capable of controlling the batteries BMS. Therefore, you need to set the protocol of the BMS on both the battery and the inverter. When using more than one battery, the first battery will be the master, and the other batteries will be the slaves.
  • Page 21 CAUTION All wiring and cable sizes must comply with your particular country’s wiring regulations and Codes of Practices Ensure that suitable disconnection devices and RCDs are fitted. Please follow the steps below to implement GRID, LOAD, and GEN port connections: 1) Before making GRID, LOAD, and GEN port connections, make sure to turn off the AC breaker or disconnector first.

  • Page 47 Concerning the detailed figure above: 1. Tick this box to do not export power back to the grid (the CT coil will detect power flowing back to the grid and will reduce the power of the inverter only to supply the local load).
  • Page 48 no export is performed. The unit allows small amounts of power to flow from the Grid (100W Zero Export Power) to prevent any back-flow. In this example, the solar PV is prioritised to supply the Load first and then subsequently, charge the battery. 5.15.
  • Page 49 5.15.1. Reactive power setting (QV) Example: Setting V1=207V and Q1=0.3. When grid voltage reaches 207V, the inverter will output reactive power at 30% of its rated power. 5.15.2. Active power setting (VW): Example: Setting Vstart: 250V and Vstop=260V. When the grid voltage reaches 250V and gradually increases to 260V, the inverter output power will gradually decrease.
