1. Product introduction: The inverter is suitable for important equipment that requires backup power when the utility is unstable or absent. This product adopts high-precision DSP control chip, precise detection circuits, advanced control technology, modular design convenient for installation and maintenance and intelligent temperature-regulating fan for efficient heat dissipation to extend system’s life.
1.2. Introduction to working modes 01 Mains priority When the mains power is available, the Inverter supplies power to the load and charges the Battery. When the mains power is out of range, the battery will supply power to the load. You can set the mains power to charge the battery or not (Parameter PC set).
not depending on the PC setting). 05 Solar priority mode (For inverters equipped with internal MPPT Charger) This mode is similar to Mode 03 (Battery priority Mode) but manages the internal MPPT Charger and the Inverter .When the battery voltage is normal, the inverter automatically turns on and the battery supply power to the load.
3. Installation recommendations: WARNING : Must be performed by a Certified Electrician 1. The inverter must have a minimum clearance of 30 cm away from any wall as shown in the next figure. Pick a place the Inverter on a well ventilated, free of humidity, flammables or corrosives gases.

7.Product care and maintenance 7.1. This inverters Series is low maintenance. The standard battery type is valve-regulated lead-acid battery. When the inverter is connected to the mains, whether it is on or off, it may keep charging the battery depending on the working mode selected and provides overcharge and over discharge protection.
8. Fault codes This icon will flash when there is a fault. Fault code display it will flash when there is a fault. 8.1. Fault codes and troubleshooting Cause Buzzer or indicator Fault cause Solution fault Battery low voltage Check the battery is broken or not 1 long 2 short (B-BB )
