Note: 1) Before starting up and running, please check whether the connection was correct to avoid any abnormalities in the system. 2) All wiring must be fixed and reliable to avoid wire drop during use. 3) When the AC output is wired to the load, it shall be properly wired according to the requirements of the electrical load equipment to avoid damage to the load equipment.
PV charging can be activated. 3. Mixed charge: PV and mains hybrid charging. PV MPPT charging is a priority, and when PV energy is insufficient, the mains supply supplements. When the PV energy is sufficient again, the mains stops charging. This is the fastest charging mode, suitable for the areas where power grid is unstable, providing sufficient backup power supply at any time.
Switch to inverter only when the mains fail (when there was mains power, switch to mains power for charging and power supply). Then, the unit is equivalent to a backup UPS, suitable for areas with unstable grid. Switching does not affect PV charging. Power supply priority:Utility -> Solar -> Battery. Battery priority mode: ➢...

5. Other Function 5.1 Dry node function Working principle: this dry node can control the switch of diesel generator to charge the battery. ① Under normal conditions, in this terminal, NC-N point is closed and NO-N point is opened; ② when the battery voltage reaches the low-voltage disconnection voltage point, the coil of the relay is energized and NO-N point is closed and NC-N point opened.
5.4 Parallel communication function (parallel operation only) This port is used for parallel communication, through which the parallel modules can communicate with each other. Each inverter has two DB15 ports, one for the male connector and the other for the female connector. When connecting, make sure to connect the male connector of the inverter with the female connector of the inverter to be paralleled, or connect the female connector of the inverter to the male connector of the inverter to be paralleled.
