You should have received the items in the following package: Hybrid Inverter Wall Mounting Stainless Steel Anti-Colli- Bracket x1 sion Bolt M12x60 x4 Stainless Steel Mounting Parallel Communication L-type Hexagon Wrench...
Selecting the Mounting Area For proper heat dissipation, allow a clearance of approximately 500mm to the side, 500mm above and below the unit, and 1000mm to the front of the unit. DO NOT install the inverter in the following areas: Areas with high salt content, such as the marine environment.
If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so they cannot reach and touch the unit. Install the indoor unit on the wall where the floor height is higher than 1600mm. Before connecting all wires, please take the metal cover off, removing the screws as shown below: Mounting the Inverter Select installation locations that are adequate to support the weight of the converter.
Inverter Hanging Plate Installation Battery Connection For safe operation and compliance, an individual DC overcurrent protector or disconnection device is required to connect the battery and the inverter. Users are recommended to utilise a suitable fuse and DC isolator (see next page). Switching devices may not be required in some applications, but overcurrent pro- tectors must be used.

29.9/30/35/40/50KW model, the recommended AC breaker for grid is 240A. There are three terminal blocks marked as GRID, LOAD, and GEN. Please do not confuse input and output connections. External AC SPD is compulsory on all Sunsynk inverters. WARNING All wiring must be performed by qualified personnel. System safety and efficient operation need to use appropriate cable for AC input connection.
1. Switch the Grid Supply Main Switch (AC) OFF. 2. Switch the DC isolator OFF. 3. Assemble PV input connector to the inverter. 4. Use the MC4 connectors supplied by Sunsynk with the inverter. THREE PHASE HI 29.9/50kW | Installer Manual...

WARNING Before connection, please ensure the polarity of the output voltage of the PV array matches the DC+ and DC- symbols. Please do not connect the PV array's positive and negative poles to the ground. This can seriously damage the inverter. Before connecting the inverter, please make sure the PV array open-circuit voltage is within the maxi- mum limit of the inverter.
Connecting the CT Coil The CT coil is one of the most important parts of the Sunsynk inverter. This device reduces the power of the inverter to prevent feeding power to the grid. This feature is also known as “Zero Export”.
NOTE: When the reading of the load power on the LCD is not correct, please reverse the CT arrow. When the inverter is in the off-grid state, the N line needs to be connected to the earth. Meter Connection CHNT Meter GRID Inverter Meter...

OPERATION Switching ON/OFF Once the inverter has been correctly installed and the batteries have been connected, press the ON/OFF button (located on the left side of the case) to activate the system. When the system is connected without a battery but connected with either PV or grid and the ON/OFF button is switched off, the LCD will still illumi- nate (display will show off).

NOTE: With some types of lithium batteries, the BMS cannot be controlled by the Sunsynk inverter. In this case, treat the battery as a lead-acid type and set the charging and discharging protocol following the battery manufacturer's specifications. It is crucial to refer to the manuals that manufacturers produce for their batteries. That way, the chance of errors occurring during installation is significantly reduced.

ZeroExport: The hybrid inverter will not only provide power to the backup load connected but also give power to the home load connected. If PV power and battery power are insufficient, it will take grid energy as a supplement. The hybrid inverter will not sell power to the grid. In this mode, a CT is needed. For the installation method of the CT, please refer to the chapter "CT Connection".
Page 47
Concerning the detailed next figures: 1. Tick this box to not export power back to the grid (the CT coil will detect power flowing back to the grid and will reduce the power of the inverter only to supply the local load). 2.

Example: This example shows the battery being charged up to 100% by both the Grid and Solar PV from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and then being able to supply up to 4kW of battery-power to the ‘essential’ loads from the ‘Load’ Port until the battery SOC drops to 50%.
Example: During 01:00-05:00, when the battery SOC is lower than 80%, it will use the grid to charge the battery until the battery SOC reaches 80%. During 05:00-08:00 and 08:00-10:00, when battery SOC is higher than 40%, the hybrid inverter will discharge the battery until the SOC reaches 40%.

For example: “Start freq f>50.2Hz, Stop freq f<50.2, Droop f=40%PE/Hz” when the grid frequency reaches 50.2Hz, the inverter will decrease its active power at Droop f of 40%.

Set the Modbus SN for paralleling. The Sunsynk parity inverter can be wired standalone or where more power is required it can be connected in parallel either single or 3 phase configuration. The maximum number of inverters that can be paral- leled in a single phase utility grid is 16 and the maximum number that can be paralleled in a three phase utility grid is 15A.
Page 54
Each inverter will require a fuse isolator with surge protection and each group circuit will require an RCD. If the batteries as supplying power to the main load during the outage, then a change over switch will also be required or a split load can be used. The CT coils used to limit export power must only be connected to the master.
Page 55
If you need further help please refer to the Sunsynk website where you will find training videos and Fre- quently Asked Questions www.sunsynk.com. Firmware prior installation is important to be updated and all inverters in parallel or three phase system must be the same.

Advanced Settings for Wind Turbines To configure wind turbine settings, click on the ADVANCE icon. What this page displays: If one or both of the MPPTs are connected to a wind turbine. What you can do from this page: Select the MPPT to be used as a turbine input.
Most wind turbines are three-phase PM type. Therefore, either a wind turbine controller or a direct connec- tion to the MPPT via a simple protection circuit will be required. Dump Load or Diversion Load is an important part of an off-grid power system. When the battery ( Battery Bank ) is fully charged, and the water turbine / wind turbine / solar PV module is still generating, a dump load is a useful device to send spare electricity to.

For Gen Input mode: Gen Input: Tick this box if using a Generator. Allowed Max. power from diesel generator. Peak shaving power: This is a technique used to reduce electrical power consumption during periods of maximum demand on the utility grid. This enables the user to save substantial amounts of money due to the expensive peak power charges.
Page 61
For Aux Load Output mode: Aux Load Output: This mode utilizes the Gen input connection as an output which only receives power when the battery SOC and PV power is above a user programmable threshold. For Example: Power=500W, ON: 100%, OFF=95%. When the PV power exceeds 500W, and battery bank SOC reaches 100%, Smart Load Port will switch on automatically and power the load connected.
