How It Works Lumen harnesses the Sun’s energy to provide power for your home. If you are generating more solar energy than you are consuming, the power is stored in the battery for use at another time during the day.

The proprietary algorithm built in the Lumen brain continues to learn based on real time data and modifies usage to save you money, whilst ensuring backup power is available. The Lumen brain also allows you to track energy usage and savings real time via a mobile app or touchscreen display.
Incorrect operation can lead to injury to yourself or others and cause damage to property. Lumen is not intended for use as a primary or backup power source for life-support systems, medical equipment or any other use where product failure could lead to injury to persons or loss of life or property damage.
6. Keep the battery modules well away from sources of ignition. 7. Do not short-circuit the battery modules. 8. Do not continue to use the battery modules after a short circuit. 9. Do not deep discharge the battery modules. User Manual Lumen and inverSOL 5000 www.inversolpr.com...
• The battery modules have a nominal voltage of 24 V (DC) and therefore fall into the range of protected extra-low voltage (under 60 V DC). • The battery modules in the Lumen is LiNMC www.inversolpr.com User Manual Lumen and inverSOL 5000 8...
Product Description Product Description The Lumen unit is designed to provide you with years of uninterrupted power. It produces up to 4800 watts of split phase 240 VAC and/or 120 VAC. It also reduces your utility bills by substituting solar power for utility power.
Page 10
If solar and utility power is not available, the system will operate from the battery. Lumen will reduce your utility bills by the amount of solar power that is generated.

Your Lumen unit can also be connected to the internet to allow its performance to be optimized to weather and utility grid conditions as well as to provide connectivity through the available smartphone app.
Variants Available System Variants Lumen is available in several different configurations. The standard configuration is split phase 120V/240V with a 5,000 Wh LiNMC energy storage system. Both single phase and three phase configurations are also available, and the outputs of multiple Lumens can be combined to provide up to 19,200 W.
Installation Physical Installation Your Lumen unit is fully sealed and does not need to be opened. Place the unit against a wall where convenient to make the electrical connections to your main panel and the critical loads sub panel. The unit should be placed in a location that provides good ventilation with at least 6 inches of clearance from the front and sides.

Installation AC Connections Lumen requires one 30A 240VAC input connection to utility power and provides one 20A 240VAC connection to the desired critical loads. 1. Connect input to main panel 2. Identify critical loads such as refrigerators, air conditioning, lights, etc.
Operation Operation The intelligent controller in your Lumen makes it very easy to operate. To turn the unit on, simply place the on/off switch to the on position (as indicated by 1 on the switch). The display will power up and will preprogram the default operating settings. Note that it takes approximately 20 seconds for the unit to go through its initialization and self-test before it is fully operational.
This touchscreen display is connected to the internal TELiG unit, where a service manager collects data from the Lumen unit. After five minutes of inactivity, a screensaver will appear with the screen turning off after another one minute. The manager will continue to run even when the screen is dark.
