You should have received the items in the following package: Stainless Steel Anti-Collision Parallel Communication Bolt M8×80 Cable x1 Hybrid Inverter L-type Hexagon Wrench User Manual x1 Data Logger x1 Battery Temperature Sensor...
Selecting the Mounting Area This Hybrid Inverter is designed for outdoor use (IP65), DO NOT install the inverter in the following areas: Areas with high salt content, such as the marine environment. It will deteriorate the metal parts and possibly lead to water/dampness penetrating the unit.
Install the indoor unit on the wall where the floor height is higher than 1600mm. 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. WARNING For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance of approx.
Choose the recommended drill head(as shown below) to drill 4 holes on the wall, 82-90mm deep. 1. Use a proper hammer to fit the expansion bolt into the holes. 2. Carry the inverter and hold it, ensure the hanger aims at the expansion bolt, and fix the inverter on the wall.

WARNING All wiring/connecting must be performed by qualified personnel. Before making the final DC connection or closing the DC Breaker/disconnection device, ensure the inverter unit is wired correctly. A reverse-polarity connection on the battery will damage the inverter. Please follow the below steps to implement battery connection: Please choose a suitable battery cable with the correct connector which can well fit into the battery ...

NOTE: When connecting more than one battery, ensure they are set in the configuration of ‘master and slave’. Depending on the battery type, the inverter should be capable of controlling the batteries BMS. Therefore, you need to set the protocol of the BMS on both the battery and the inverter. When using more than one battery, the first battery will be the master, and the other batteries will ...
Connecting the AC Before connecting to the grid, please install a separate AC breaker between the inverter and the grid. Also, it is recommended that installs an AC breaker between the backup load and inverter. This will ensure that the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from overcurrent. For the 8KW model, the recommended AC breaker for backup load is 63A.
PV Connection Before connecting to PV modules, please install a separate DC circuit breaker between the inverter and PV modules. It is very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for PV mod- ule connection. To reduce the risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below. Model Wire Size Cable (mm...
The correct steps in assembling the DC connector are explained below: 1. Strip 7mm of the plastic coating off the DC wire and disassemble the connector cap nut. 2. Crimp metal terminals with crimping pliers. 3. Insert the contact pin into the connector housing until it locks into place.
Installing the CT Coil The CT coil is one of the most important parts of the Sunsynk Parity inverter. This device reduces the power of the inverter to prevent feeding power to the grid. This feature is also known as “Zero Export”.

Since the inverter is a true hybrid, then the bond must only be made when the inverter is operating in Island- ing Mode. To accommodate this, Sunsynk provides an AC output, which is connected to the A/T/S connec- tions whenever the inverter is running on Island Mode. Therefore, you can simply connect the coil of an AC relay to the ATS 240 connections.

Activating Shutdown causes the inverter to enter standby-mode. It does not entirely shut down the inverter. Total shutdown occurs at voltages below 19V. The voltage displayed on the Sunsynk Parity Inverter will vary depending on whether the inverter is charging or discharging the batteries.
State of Charge Bulk: The bulk charge is the first stage of a battery’s charging process, where the charger identifies the battery and its needs and then applies a high voltage to do the bulk of the charging. It involves about 80% of the recharge.
Page 51
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.

Priority to Load Only: Set the power limits to supply only the loads connected to the LOAD port. Fast_Zero_Export_Mode: Contact Sunsynk for more information. If nothing ticked: This Mode allows the hybrid inverter to sell back any excess power produced by the solar panels to the grid.
Page 57
Zero Export + Limit To Load Only: The hybrid inverter will only provide power to the backup load connect- ed. The hybrid inverter will neither provide power to the home load nor sell power to the grid. The built-in CT will detect power flowing back to the grid and will reduce the power of the inverter only to supply the local load and charge the battery.
Page 58
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%.

What this page displays: FW: This series inverter is able to adjust inverter output power according to grid frequency. Droop f: The percentage of nominal power per Hz. 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%.
Page 63
What this page displays: P(Q): It adjusts the inverter reactive power according to the set active power. P(PF): It adjusts the inverter PF according to the set active power. Lock-in/Pn 50%: When the inverter output active power is less than 50% rated power, it won't enter the P(PF) mode.
Select the corresponding meter type according to the meter installed in the system. 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 65
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 66
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.

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.
