ABOUT THIS MANUAL Purpose This manual describes the assembly, installation, operation and troubleshooting of this unit. Please read this manual carefully before installations and operations. Keep this manual for future reference. Scope This manual provides safety and installation guidelines as well as information on tools and wiring.
avoid any malfunction, do not connect any PV modules with possible current leakage to the inverter. For example, grounded PV modules will cause current leakage to the inverter. When using CIGS modules, please be sure NO grounding. CAUTION: It’s requested to use PV junction box with surge protection. Otherwise, it will cause damage on inverter when lightning occurs on PV modules.

AC Input/Output Connection CAUTION!! Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and AC input power source. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input.
Page 10
Make sure the wires are securely connected. CAUTION: Important Be sure to connect AC wires with correct polarity. If L and N wires are connected reversely, it may cause the utility to be short-circuited when these inverters are in parallel operation. CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner requires at least 2~3 minutes to restart because it’s required to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits.

Remote Display Panel Installation The LCD module can be removable and installed in a remote location with an optional communication cable. Please take the follow steps to implement this remote panel installation. Step 1. Remove the screw on the bottom of LCD module and pull down the module from the case.
Note: Wall installation should be implemented with the proper screws to the right. Step 3. After LCD module is installed, connect LCD module to the inverter with an optional RJ45 communication cable as shown below Communication Connection Serial Connection Please use the supplied serial cable to connect between the inverter and your PC. Install the monitoring software from the bundled CD and follow the on-screen instructions to complete your installation.
There is one dry contact (3A/250VAC) available on the rear panel. It could be used to deliver signal to external device when battery voltage reaches warning level. BMS Communication It is recommended to purchase a special communication cable if you are connecting to Lithium-Ion battery banks.

LCD Display The LCD display information will be switched in turn by pressing the “UP” or “DOWN” button. The selectable information is switched as the following table in order.
Warning Indicator BATTERY EQUALIZATION Equalization function is added into charge controller. It reverses the buildup of negative chemical effects like stratification, a condition where acid concentration is greater at the bottom of the battery than at the top. Equalization also helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the plates.
Page 45
Equalize charging time and timeout In Equalize stage, the controller will supply power to charge battery as much as possible until battery voltage raises to battery equalization voltage. Then, constant-voltage regulation is applied to maintain battery voltage at the battery equalization voltage. The battery will remain in the Equalize stage until setting battery equalized time is arrived.
