PRODUCT INTRODUCTION The Powerlynk XL is a highly efficient power management tool that allows the user to hit those ‘parity’ targets by managing power-flow from multiple sources such as solar, mains power (grid) and generators, and then effectively storing and releasing power as and when utilities require.
Areas where animals may urinate on the unit or ammonia may be generated. High altitude areas (over 4000 metres above sea level). Environments where precipitation or humidity are above 95%. Areas where the air circulation is too low. SM5.5kWPL - Powerlynk XL...
0ºC ~ 55ºC. Ensure other objects and surfaces are outside of the recommended spaces (500mm each side / above and below / front) to guarantee heat dissipation and easy access to the wiring / cabling. SM5.5kWPL - Powerlynk XL...
Turning on the Batteries Turn the battery isolation switch to turn on the batteries. MOBILE CAUTION Setting a power limit higher than maximum will damage the battery fuse. SM5.5kWPL - Powerlynk XL...
Non-Essential Loads Connecting to the Mains / Grid 1. Connect the Powerlynk XL Hybrid Inverter to the electrical grid via the grid ports, using a suitable RCD and a 20A fuse on the consumer board. 2. Now, using a 3mm cable, connect only the essential loads to the load ports (output) to a secondary consumer board, considering the maximum limit of 5.5 kW.
CT Coil and Load Power Settings The CT coil is one of the most important parts of the Powerlynk XL. This device reduces the power of the inverter to prevent feeding power to the grid. This is also known as zero export.
