Important note: The satisfaction of the end user will depend heavily on having made an adequate estimate of the demand, power, and energy, present and future, to which the equipment will be subjected.
Instruction Manual and Datasheet for Batteries (Lithium Series 48V 5.1kWh) For any other questions about the inverter or the battery, consult the corresponding manuals that can be found on the Turbo Energy website. 2. Safety instructions To ensure correct installation it is recommended: Use safe mounting tools and install safety devices.
Description: The SunBox consists of a mounted and wired cabinet prepared to include up to 2 Turbo Energy Lithium Batteries (Lithium Series 48V 5.1kWh) and a Turbo Energy Single Phase Hybrid Series 48V 5.0. The system includes several protections for both DC and AC:...

1. Off-grid mode It is a mode to be completely independent from the grid, working only with photovoltaic generation and batteries. To set the Off-grid mode, the switch must be in the position Off-grid mode, and it is necessary to remove the FMB and FMR fuses indicated bellow.
Page 7
2. Self-consumption mode For the general mode of operation and depending on the energy coming from the photovoltaic panels, there are two different situations: When the demand for electricity consumption is lower than the energy produced by photovoltaic panels, the Inverter transforms the DC into AC to meet the demand for electricity, while charging the batteries with excess power.
Page 8
When the batteries do not have enough charge level to ensure proper operation, the inverter takes the missing power to meet the demand from the grid. In this way the system works in parallel with the grid and with photovoltaic panels. Furthermore, in this mode, in the event of a network failure, the switch automatically switches to off-grid mode to continue its correct operation and comply with anti-island regulations.

5. Installation and assembly Recommendations for setting up strings Preliminary recommendations for installation The installation of the SunBox should be carried out in a place protected from inclement weather, and it is especially relevant that its location is kept dry and avoid potentially flooded areas.
Page 11
In case batteries need to be installed, the SunBox Series 5.0 comes ready • to store up to 2 Turbo Energy Lithium Series 48V 5.1kWh batteries. Its installation is explained below. *The Grid and Load outputs in normal grid operation will be the same as they are...
5.1 Installation options Option 1 For load powers lower than 11 kW (5kW if in off-grid mode), the general connection of the SunBox will be as shown in the following diagram: It is the simplest configuration and avoids manipulation of the load connections. As all the power from the network passes through the equipment (Load output) and it distributes the energy, it implies that the maximum power of the loads is 11kW in self-consumption mode and 5kW in off-grid mode.
Page 13
Option 2 In the case of connecting load powers greater than 11kW in self-consumption mode, the configuration to be carried out is as follows:...
Page 14
In this way, we have a series of critical loads connected to the Load output (up to a maximum of 5 kW) that will allow the panels and / or batteries to supply them with energy despite a grid failure. The rest of the loads above 11kW must be connected on the grid side.
5.2 Gen-Port The SunBox has an intelligent input / output that can provide the equipment with different functionalities. Generator input The output of a generator can be connected to this input, so that the off-grid installation can rely on this source for power supply. The maximum power value is 5000 W.
5.3 DC wiring The series of photovoltaic panels shall be carried out as indicated in section 4.1. The cabinet already has the right protections installed for continuous sockets. To access the connections, open the back door of the SunBox cabinet. It is very important to note that each positive must be connected to its negative in the cabinet, for this it is recommended to mark the cables or make connections one at a time until the installation is complete.
5.5 Grounding Connect ground wire to the ground plate on the grid side, preventing electric shock if the original protective conductor fails. Using the auxiliary connecting elements we must connect the grounding, both to the rack and to the structure of photovoltaic modules.
4. Place the battery in the capsule structure with the corresponding screws. 5. If you incorporate a pair of batteries, connect them in parallel and to the inverter. If you only have one battery, connect it directly to the inverter (picture detail).
The order of placement of the elements is Grower washer, DIN 125 washer and screw. 5.8 Start-up Once you are finished with all connections, the machine is ready to start working. It will proceed as follows: 1. Reset the DC and AC protections at the back of the cabinet. 2.
6. Inverter/Charger Configuration To configure the inverter, it is necessary to modify parameters on its screen to adjust them to the characteristics of our installation. To do this, it is necessary to access the system configuration menu through the main screen, by clicking on the icon in the upper right. 6.1 Basic setup menu The first thing will be to set the date and time at the time of installation.
6.2 Battery setup menu If you have a battery, it is necessary to specify that it is a lithium battery. In case of not having a battery, No Batt will be selected. Depending on the number of batteries, the specifications for battery capacity and charge / discharge current need to be changed as follows.
- Lithium Mode: 00 BMS Protocol - Shutdown: 10% The inverter shuts down when the battery reaches the indicated charge - Low batt: 10% The inverter will alarm when the battery has lower SOC than indicated - Restart: 50% Battery percentage to restart the inverter 6.3 System work mode When programming the inverter, you can choose between various configuration options:...
Page 23
There are three different modes: - GM (General Mode): Mode to supply the energy consumed with Battery and - BU (BackUP): No battery discharge mode - CH (Charge): Battery charging mode As an example, following the table above, different schedules can be established in different time periods: - 00:00 - 08:00: Charge mode activated.
7. Wi-Fi connection setup In order to upload the SunBox to the cloud and be able to see the monitoring of the system, it is essential to connect the equipment to the internet. To do this, the following steps must be followed: Step 0: Locate the serial number of the logger At the bottom of the inverter there is a plate with a QR code, the serial number of your logger and the logger's wifi access password.
Page 27
Step 2: Connect to the web portal Once connected to the Wi-Fi network with your PC, Tablet or smartphone, you must access the logger’s web portal. To do this, open a web browser on the PC, tablet or smartphone that has been connected to the logger’s Wi-Fi.
Page 28
Click on the "Wizard" link under the "Status" link to connect the logger to the Wi- Fi (the Wi-Fi of your house or your plant). Step 3: Setup logger access to the Wi-Fi Step 3.1: select the Wi-Fi When we run the connection wizard, the list of Wi-Fi networks to which the logger has access appears.
Page 29
Step 3.3: In this step it is NOT necessary to select any option and then press the “Next” button. It is used to configure the security of the connection to the Wi-Fi. By selecting Hide AP, the Wi-Fi network will appear as a hidden network. Step 3.4 If the adjustment has been made correctly, press the “OK”...
Page 30
If the restart is successful, a message will appear indicating that it was successful, if it does not appear then refresh the browser page: Step 4: Verify the logger connection to the Wi-Fi After restarting the web page, log back in to the “Status” page and check the status of the recorder's network connection: Once we have verified that the logger is connected to the Wi-Fi, it is possible to add the plant to the cloud platform.
We recommend not to change the password of the access portal or the password of the inverter's Wi-Fi through the portal 10.10.100.254. If you forget the password, you will not be able to access the portal again to configure the WiFi. 8.
