SAFETY 1. SAFETY 1.1. General Safety Information This device should only be used in accordance o instructions within this manual and in compliance with local, regional and national laws and regulations. Only allow this device to be installed, operated, maintained, repaired by other persons who have also read and understood this manual.
1.3. Safety Instructions WARNING HIGH LIFE RISK DUE TO FIRE OR ELECTROCUTION. The Sunsynk Three-Phase Hybrid Inverter can only be installed by a qualified licensed electrical contractor. This is not a DIY product. Be sure to read this manual thoroughly before installation.
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION 2. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION The Sunsynk Three-Phase Hybrid Inverter is a highly efficient power management tool that allows the user to hit those ‘parity’ targets by managing power-flow from multiple sources such as solar, mains power (grid) and generators, and then effectively storing and releasing power as and when utilities require.

INSTALLATION 4. INSTALLATION 4.1. Selecting the Mounting Area DO NOT install the inverter in the following areas: Areas with high salt content, such as the marine environment. It will deteriorate the metal parts and possibly lead to water/dampness penetrating the unit. Areas filled with mineral oil or containing splashed oil or steam such as found in ...
ALSO CONSIDER: Installing the indoor unit, outdoor unit, power supply cable, transmission cable, and remote control cable at least 1 metre away from any television or radio receiver. This will prevent TV reception interference or radio noise. This will prevent radio signal interference from external units that might interfere with the Wi-Fi or GSM monitoring.
CAUTION Risk of injury (Heavy Object) Remember that this inverter is heavy so users must be careful in handling the unit during installation. 4.3. Battery Connection Battery connection For safe operation and compliance, an individual DC overcurrent protector or disconnection device is required for the connection of the battery and the inverter.
Page 13
CAUTION wiring/connecting must performed qualified personnel. Before making the final DC connection or closing the DC Breaker/disconnection device, ensure the inverter unit is wired correctly. A reverse-polarity connection on the battery will damage the inverter. Recommended DC Surge Protector 4.4.
Page 14
NOTICE When connecting more than one battery, ensure they are set in the configuration of ‘master and slave’. 4.5. Battery Temperature Connection Page | 14...
Page 15
Without a remote temperature sensor, lead-acid batteries may undercharge or overcharge depending on the ambient temperature of the installation environment. This may result in a fire hazard. NOTICE Depending on the battery type, the inverter should be capable of controlling the batteries BMS.
4.6. Connecting the AC GEN/AUX Generator connection. This works like a conventional grid-tied inverter. It is both an input GRID and output connection for non-essential load and supply Connection of essential loads such as lighting, security systems, LOAD and Internet CAUTION All wiring and cable sizes must comply with your particular country’s wiring regulations and Codes of Practices...

3) Then, insert AC output wires according to polarities indicated on the terminal block and tighten the terminal. Make sure to connect corresponding N wires and PE wires to related terminals as well. 4) Ensure the wires are securely connected. 5) Check that the AC power source is isolated before attempting to connect it to the inverter.
Page 18
4.7. Installing the CT Coil The CT coil is one of the most important parts of the Sunsynk Parity inverter. This device reduces the power of the inverter to prevent feeding power to the grid. This feature is also known as "Zero Export".
Page 19
IMPORTANT If the CT coil is fitted in the wrong way then this variable will have negative instead positive values when the power is flowing into the house/inverter. Also, the inverter export limiting function will not work properly. Page | 19...
Since the inverter is a true hybrid then the bond must only be made when the inverter is operating in Islanding Mode. To accommodate this, Sunsynk provides an AC output, which is connected to the A/T/S connections whenever the inverter is running on Island Mode.
Page 21
NOTICE The grid power may still be present, but the inverter is not draining power from it since the unit is working in ‘Island Mode’. You can verify if there is a voltage when the inverter is disconnected from the grid by using a simple multimeter.
Page 22
3) Assemble PV input connector to the inverter. CAUTION Before connection, please ensure the polarity of the output voltage of PV array matched the DC+ and DC- symbols. WARNING Please do not connect the PV array positive and negative pole to the gound. This can seriously damage the inverter.

Max battery discharge current (Amps), which should be 20% of the Ah rating for AGM only. For Lithium, please refer to the battery manufacturer documentation. Note: This is a global max. discharge current for both ‘grid-tied’ and ‘backup’ modes of operation and if the current exceeds this value inverter will shut down with an overload fault.
Page 32
Lithium Follow its BMS voltage parameters Using a generator with a Sunsynk inverter: A generator can either be connected to the Grid side or to the Gen connection. When connected to the Grid Input, the inverter will consider the power coming from the generator as ‘Grid Supply’.

The current on thee contacts is limited to approximately, 1Amp 12V. Below is a simple reference circuit of an auto start system that can autostart generators on a boat. (Sunsynk will be releasing a new OS E406 ( Auto-Start ) for better generator control)
Page 34
Activating Shutdown causes the inverter to enter standby-mode. It does not completely shut down the inverter. Total shutdown occurs at voltages below 19V. The voltage displayed on the Sunsynk Parity Inverter will vary depending on whether the inverter is charging or discharging the batteries.
Page 35
The batteries recommended for use with the Sunsynk systems are AGM Lead Acid or Lithium Battery Banks. (‘AGM’ means Absorbed Glass Matt construction that allows the electrolyte to be suspended new the plate’s active material. In theory, this enhances both the discharge and recharging efficiency.
Page 36
NOTICE With some types of lithium battery, the BMS cannot be controlled by the Sunsynk inverter. In this case, treat the battery as a lead-acid type and set the charging and discharging protocol following the battery manufacturer specification.

Set the Modbus SN for paralleling. The Sunsynk parity inverter can be wired standalone or where more power is required it can be connected in parallel either single or 3 phase configuration. The maximum number of inverters that can be paralleled in a single phase utility grid is three (18kW and 22.8kW for the 6kW and 7.6 kW model, respectively) and the maximum number that can be paralleled in a three-phase utility grid is nine (54kW and 68.4kW for the 6kW and 7.6 kW model, respectively).

Dump Load or Diversion Load is an important part of an off-grid power system. When the battery ( Battery Bank ) is fully charged, and the water turbine / wind turbine / solar PV module is still generating, a dump load is a useful device to send spare electricity to. This can be done by using a switch on a smart load option or by utilising a wind turbine controller with a built-in dump load.

COMMISSIONING 6. COMMISSIONING 6.1. Startup / Shutdown Procedure The inverter must be installed by a qualified / licensed electrical engineer in accordance to the countries wiring regulations. Before switching on, the installation engineer must have completed the Earth Bond, RCD and earth leakage tests, checked that the solar panel Voc voltage does not exceed 480V and checked the battery voltage.

MAINTENANCE 7. MAINTENANCE The inverter is low maintenance. However, it is important that at least twice a year (for dusty environments this may need to be carried out weekly) all the cooling fans, air ducts are cleaned and dust free. Check if there are no fault codes and Lithium battery communication is correct.
