    Program 36, which is to set the protocol type. There are several protocols in the inverter. Please get instruction from Growatt to choose which protocol to match the BMS. 1. Connect the end of RJ45 of battery to BMS communication port of inverter...
  • Page 10 Default 20%, 5%~50% Settable Note: Any questions about communicating with BMS, please consult with Growatt. 3. Communicating with battery BMS in parallel system If need to use communicate with BMS in a parallel system, you should make sure to connect the BMS communication cable between the battery and one inverter of the parallel system.
  • Page 11: Ac Input/Output Connection

    3.5 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. The recommended spec of AC breaker is 20A for 2KVA, 32A for 3KVA, 40A for 4KVA and 50A for 5KVA.
  • Page 12: Pv Connection

    CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner are required at least 2~3 minutes to restart because it’s required to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits. If a power shortage occurs and recovers in a short time, it will cause damage to your connected appliances. To prevent this kind of damage, please check with manufacturer of air conditioner that if it’s equipped with time-delay function before installation.

  • Page 36: Battery Equalization

    5.0 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. Equalizationalso helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the plates. If left unchecked, this condition, called sulfation, will reduce the overall capacity of the battery.
