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. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions.
INTRODUCTION This is a multi-function inverter/charger, combining functions of inverter, solar charger and battery charger to offer uninterruptible power support with portable size. Its comprehensive LCD display offers user-configurable and easy-accessible button operation such as battery charging current, AC/solar charger priority, and acceptable input voltage based on different applications.
INSTALLATION Unpacking and Inspection Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. You should have received the following items inside of package: The unit x 1 User manual x 1 USB Communication cable x 1 ...
Install the unit by screwing three screws. Battery Connection CAUTION: For safety operation and regulation compliance, it’s requested to install a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect device between battery and inverter. It may not be requested to have a disconnect device in some applications, however, it’s still requested to have over-current protection installed.
WARNING: Shock Hazard Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series. CAUTION!! Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal and the ring terminal. Otherwise, overheating may occur. CAUTION!! Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are connected tightly.

WARNING: Be sure that AC power source is disconnected before attempting to hardwire it to the unit. 4. Then, insert AC output wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten terminal screws. Be sure to connect PE protective conductor ( ) first.
PV Connection CAUTION: Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit breaker between inverter and PV modules. WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel. PV Module Selection: (Only for the model with built-in PWM solar charger) WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for PV module connection.
PV Module Selection: (Only for the model with built-in MPPT solar charger) When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters: 3. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules not exceeds max. PV array open circuit voltage of inverter. 4.
Dry Contact Signal 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. Unit Status Condition Dry contact port: NC & C NO & C Power Off Unit is off and no output is powered.
OPERATION Power ON/OFF Once the unit has been properly installed and the batteries are connected well, simply press On/Off switch (located on the button of the case) to turn on the unit. Operation and Display Panel The operation and display panel, shown in below chart, is on the front panel of the inverter. It includes three indicators, four function keys and a LCD display, indicating the operating status and input/output power information.
LCD Display Icons Icon Function description Input Source Information Indicates the AC input. Indicates the PV input Indicate input voltage, input frequency, PV voltage, battery voltage and charger current. Configuration Program and Fault Information Indicates the setting programs. Indicates the warning and fault codes. Warning: flashing with warning code.
