    1. Battery connection: For safety operation and regulation compliance, it's requested to install a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect device between battery and inverter. The recommend battery capacity is 150AH-200AH, the recommended spec of DC breaker is SNA5000WPV 150A / 80V, SNA6000WPV 200A / 80V. Recommended battery cable and terminal size:...
  • Page 11 Gauge Cable (mm2) Torque Value Model SNA5000WPV/6000WPV 10AWG 2.0 Nm 3. PV Connection: Please install separately a DC circuit breaker between inverter and PV modules. The recommended of DC breaker is 600V / 25A. It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for PV module connection.
  • Page 12: Mounting The Unit

    User Manual 2.2 Mounting the Unit NOTICE Consider the following points before selecting where to install: Mount on a solid surface. Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials. For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance of approx. 20cm to the side and approx.
  • Page 13: Battery Connection

    2. Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size. 3. Connect all battery packs as units requires. It's suggested to connect at least 200Ah capacity battery for SNA5000WPV / 6000WPV. 4. Insert the ring terminal of battery cable flatly into battery connector of inverter and make sure the bolts are tightened with torque of 4~5Nm.
  • Page 14 User Manual 2.4 CT To measure the power imported from and exported to the grid, the CT must be installed at the service entry point in or near the main service panel. "External Grid CT" function is off by default, and if you need inverter to export power to compensate the grid loads, you can set "External Grid CT"...
  • Page 15 User Manual Please refer to the connection diagram for the correct positions of Grid CT and clamp the CT on the wires at the service entry point in the main service panel. The arrow on the CT is pointing to the inverter.(*** Incorrectly install CT will cause The Display to show incorrect information and features of the inverter will not function correctly) If the CT is in a wrong direction, there is an option you can change the direction of the CT on your inverter call: CT Direction Reversed in Advanced Tab.

    User Manual 2.5 AC Input/Output Connection CAUTION - There are two terminal blocks with “IN” and “OUT” markings. Please do NOT mis-connect input and output connectors. - Be sure to connect AC wires with correct polarity. If L and N wires are connected reversely, it may cause utility short-circuited when these inverters are worked in parallel operation.
  • Page 17: Pv Connection

    User Manual 2.6 PV Connection Please follow below steps to implement PV module connection: 1. Remove insulation sleeve 10 mm for positive and negative conductors. 2. Check correct polarity of connection cable from PV modules and PV input connectors. 3. Connect positive pole (+) of connection cable to positive pole (+) of PV input connector. Connect negative pole (-) of connection cable to negative pole (-) of PV input connector.
  • Page 18 User Manual 2.7.1 Generator system connection The SNA series can use a generator for backup power during grid failures. When selecting a generator, ensure it provides sufficient power and maintains a frequency with a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 3%. As a general guideline, the generator should be at least 1.5 times the inverter’s output to accommodate both load powering and battery charging.
  • Page 19 User Manual 2.7.2 Integrated two-wire Start/Stop The Dry port (NO2, COM2) could be used to deliver signal to external device when battery voltage reaches warning level. The GEN port (NO1, COM1 could be used to wake-up the Generator and then the generator can charge the battery.
