4. INSTALLATION 4.1. Parts List Check if you received all the items listed below. Ensure that nothing is damaged in the package. Page | 13 Hybrid Inverter | Installer Manual...
4.2. Selecting the Mounting Area For proper heat dissipation, allow a clearance of approximately 500mm to the side, 500mm above and below the unit, and 1000mm to the front of the unit. DO NOT install the inverter in the following areas: ...
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.

Choose the recommend drill head (as shown in below pic) to drill 4 holes on the wall, 52-60mm deep. 1. Use a proper hammer to fit the expansion bolt into the holes. 2. Carry the inverter and holding it, make sure the hanger aim at the expansion bolt,fix the inverter on the wall.
4.4. 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. Users are recommended to utilise a suitable fuse and DC isolator (see next page). In some applications, switching devices may not be required, but overcurrent protectors must be used.
Page 18
3. Crimp terminals: 4. Fasten terminal with a bolt: 5. Fasten the terminal with outer cover: Depending on the battery type, the inverter should be capable of controlling the batteries BMS. Therefore, you need to set the protocol of the BMS on both the bat- tery and the inverter.
4.5. Grid connection and backup load connection Before connecting to grid, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and grid. Also, it is recommended that installs an AC breaker between backup load and inverter.This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current.
5. Appliances such as air conditioner are required at least 2-3 minutes to restart because it is required to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuit. If a power shortage occurs and recovers in short time, it will cause damage to your connected appliances. To prevent this kind of damage, please check manufacturer of air conditioner if it is equipped with time-delay function before installation.
4.6.1. PV Module Selection When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters: 1. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules can not exceed max. PV array open circuit voltage of inverter. 2. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules should be higher than min. start voltage. 3.
Page 23
Please utilise an approved DC cable for PV system. Cross section (mm Cable type Range Recommended value Industry generic PV cable 2.5~4 (12~10AWG) 2.5(12AWG) (model: PV1-F) The correct steps in assembling the DC connector are explained below: 1. Strip 7mm of the plastic coating off the DC wire and disassemble the connector cap nut. 2.
When sunlight falls on the solar panel, it will generate a voltage. A high voltage generated by panels in series configuration may cause danger to life. Therefore, before connecting the DC-Input line, the solar panel’s surface should be shielded from the sun’s rays by some opaque material and the DC switch should be off. This will prevent a high voltage flowing to the inverter thereby causing risk to persons conducting installation or maintenance.
When the inverter is in the off-grid state, the N line needs to be connected to the earth. 4.7.1. System Connection for the CHNT Meter 4.7.2. System Connection for the Eastron Meter Page | 25 Hybrid Inverter | Installer Manual...
When the inverter is in the off-grid state, the N line needs to be connected to the earth. In final installation,breaker certified according to IEC 60947-1 and IEC 60947-2 shall be installed with the equipment. 4.8. Earth Connection (MANDATORY) Ground cable shall be connected to ground plate on grid side this prevents electric shock if the original protective conductor fails.
