Control Pump The Dayliff Sunverter 4 is the latest update of the established Sunverter range of advanced AC/DC inverters specially designed for solar-powering AC motors in various water pumping applications. As well as a general upgrade of the electronics and functionality an important new feature is hybrid capability that enables concurrent operation with direct AC power from mains or generator supply while prioritising solar supply.
INSTALLATION Dayliff Sunverter 4 controllers are surface mounted and should be provided with a housing for water and heat protection. Due to the high operating voltages proper earthing is essential, which must be done by a qualified electrician. As a rule, all PV powered solar pumping systems should be provided with a solar module array with a nominal output about 30% greater than the motor size.
2. SYMBOLS AND WARNINGS Misuse of this Inverter will result in re, serious injury, or even death. It can also cause low or middle-level injury to persons or equipment damage. 2.1 Purchase Inspection Check the inverter before installation. Do not install if it is damaged or with missing parts, else may cause accidents.

2.4 Connection To avoid the risk of re, make sure to securely tighten the terminal using the specied torque. CAUTION Do not connect capacitor or phase-advanced LC/RC noise lter with inverter output. CAUTION Make sure all the wiring and connection are correctly connected before powering on, or else may damage the PV disconnect switch or cause re.
At the end of its design life, the inverter should be disposed as industrial waste. During incineration, the electrolytic capacitor may explode and some parts may produce toxic WARNING and harmful gas. 3. INSTALLATION AND WIRING 3.1 Installation Environment Requirements Installation of the inverter according to the specified environmental conditions is the precondition for ensuring long-term normal and stable operation of the inverter.
