LCD setting To connect battery BMS, need to set the battery type as “LI” in Program 05. After set “LI” in Program 05, it will switch to Program 51 to choose communication protocol. You can choose RS485 communication protocol which is from L01 to L50, and you can also choose CAN communication protocol which is from L51 to L99.
Default 20%, 5%~49% Settable,value set lower than this program can be set up Program 12 setting Note: Any questions about communicating with BMS, please consult with Growatt. AC Input/Output Connection CAUTION!! Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and AC input power source.

WARNING: Be sure that AC power source is disconnected before attempting to hardwire it to the unit. 4. Then, insert AC output wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten terminal screws. Be sure to connect PE protective conductor first.
To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below. Torque value Model Wire Size SPF 3000T HVM-G2 1 * 8AWG 1.2-1.6 Nm PV Module Selection: When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters: 1.
Communication Connection Please use supplied communication cable to connect to inverter and PC. Insert bundled CD into a computer and follow on-screen instruction to install the monitoring software. For the detailed software operation, please check user manual of software inside of CD. Dry Contact Signal There is one dry contact(3A/250VAC) available on the rear panel.
Battery Charger The inverter is equipped with an active PFC (power factor correction) multistage battery charger. When AC voltage is in the range of 154~260VAC, the charging current is 100%. The inverter is with a strong charging current, and the charge current can be adjusted from 10A~40A. There are mainly 3 stages: Bulk Charging: This is the initial stage of charging.
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. Equalizationalso 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.
Operation Power ON/OFF Once the unit has been properly installed and the batteries are connected well, simply press On/Off switch (located on the button of the case) to turn on the unit. The switch is located on the underside to the bottom right of the product.
