1. SAFETY 1.1. General Safety This device should only be used in accordance with the instructions within this manual and in compli- ance with local, regional, and national laws and regulations. Only allow this device to be installed, operat- ed, maintained, and repaired by other person(s) who have read and understood this manual. Ensure the manual is included with this device should it be passed to a third party.
1.3. Safety Instructions WARNING HIGH LIFE RISK DUE TO FIRE OR ELECTROCUTION. Sunsynk Lifelynk Inverter can only be installed by a qualified licensed electrical contractor. This is not a DIY product. Be sure to read this manual thoroughly before installation. ...
2. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION The Sunsynk Lifelynk Hybrid Inverter is a highly efficient power management tool that allows the user to hit those ‘parity’ targets by managing power flow from multiple sources such as solar, mains power (grid), and generators, and then effectively storing and releasing energy as and when utilities require.
3. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Pure sine wave inverter with a maximum input power of 4kW; The high nominal output power of 3.6 kW can run several appliances; With batteries, the power capacity is 2880Wh; MPPT charge controller feature; A bi-directional inverter that can rapidly charge its internal batteries in just one hour;...

4. INSTALLATION 4.1. Selecting the Mounting Area DO NOT install the inverter in the following areas: Areas with high salt content, such as the marine environment. It will deteriorate the metal parts and pos- sibly lead to water/dampness penetrating the unit. Like those found in kitchens, areas filled with mineral oil or containing splashed oil or steam.
4.2. Mounting the Inverter Select a location that provides adequate to support the weight of the inverter. Install this inverter so that the LCD screen is eye-level for easy operation. An appropriate ambient temperature lies between -25 ~ 60°C for optimal operation. ...
4.3. Connecting the Batteries Before mounting the inverter on the wall, it is better to install the batteries using the fixings supplied with the product, like in the figures below. A minimum battery cable size of 35mm diameter is recommended. The Lifelynk uses a set of batteries that provide 2880Wh of energy. Therefore, if fewer batteries are installed, the power capacity will be reduced accordingly.

For safe operation and compliance, an individual DC overcurrent protector or disconnection device is re- quired to connect the battery and the inverter. Users are recommended to utilize a fuse and DC isolator (see next page). Some applications may not require switching devices, but overcurrent protectors must be used. It is also important to set a power limit lower than the inverter’s maximum power.
4.4. Connecting to the Mains / Grid 1. Connect the Lifelynk Hybrid Inverter to the electrical grid via the "Grid" ports, using a suitable RCD and a 20 A fuse on the consumer board. 2. Now, using a 4 mm cable, connect only the essential loads to the "Load" ports (Output) to a secondary consumer board, considering the maximum limit of 3.6 kW.
4.8. CT Coil and Load Power Settings The CT coil is one of the most important parts of the Sunsynk Parity inverter. This device reduces the power of the inverter to prevent feeding power to the grid. This is also known as "Zero Export.”...

5.2. Switching ON/OFF Once the inverter has been correctly installed and the batteries are connected, press the on/off button (lo- cated on the front of the case) to turn on the system. When the system is connected without a battery but with either PV or grid and the on/off button is switched off, the LCD will still light up (display will show off).

The generator can be controlled via a relay, which is a set of dry contacts. The current on these contacts is approximately 1 A / 12 V. A simple reference circuit to auto-start generators on a boat is shown in the figure below. Sunsynk will re- lease a new OS, E406, with better Gen control.

5.10. Fault Codes To check the fault codes click on the FAULT CODES icon on the settings menu. If any of the fault messages listed in the following table appear on your inverter and the fault has not been removed after re-starting, please contact your local vendor or service centre. The following information is required: 1.

6. COMMISSIONING 6.1. Start-Up / Shutdown Procedure The inverter must be installed by a qualified / licensed electrical engineer in accordance with the country's wiring regulations. Before switching on, the installation engineer must have completed the Earth Bond, RCD and earth leakage tests, checked that the solar panel Voc voltage does not exceed 480V and checked the battery voltage.

1. Disconnect all live conductors (including the actives and neutral) 2. Be of the type specified in the inverter manufacturer’s instructions or labelled on the inverter. We recommend using an RCD on all circuits and subcircuits connected to the Sunsynk inverter—residual current breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO).
