Ex9N-H-(3~15)KT1 Please keep this manual available all the time in case of any emergency. 1.2 Target Group This manual is for qualified personnel.
2.2 Explanations of Symbols Noark inverter strictly comply with relevant safety standards. Please read and follow all the instructions and cautions during installation, operation and maintenance. Danger of electric shock The inverter contains fatal DC and AC power. All work on the inverter must be carried out by qualified personnel only.
3. Introduction 3.1 Basic Instruction The Noark Ex9N-H-KT1 series hybrid inverters are designed to increase energy independence for homeowners. Energy management is based on time-of-use and demand charge rate structures, significantly reduce the amount of energy purchased from the public grid and optimize self- consumption.
Energy flow: PV → Load → Battery → Grid Note: Advance Setting When select 0 W under P_Feed menu, the inverter will export zero energy to the grid. When select xx W under P_Feed menu, the inverter will export customized energy to the grid.
3.2.4 Maintain The Maintain mode is suitable for situations where the battery capacity is small, and the battery is charged and discharged at the specified power. Warning: Energy flow: The Maintain mode is only PV → Load → Grid → Battery available for some inverter.
3.2.6 ExtEms ExtEms mode requires customized external control accessories that can remotely control the operation of the inverter. It is not recommended to use it without professional personnel. 3.2.7 PeakShave In PeakShave mode, the charging and discharging of the battery are controlled by setting the AC power to reduce the peak load of the power grid.

4. Installation 4.1 Pre-installation 4.1.1 Unpacking & Package List Unpacking On receiving the inverter, please check to make sure the packing and all components are not missing or damaged. Please contact your dealer directly for supports if there is any damage or missing components. Package List Open the package, please check the packing list shown as below.
Inverter Terminals Items Items DC Switch BAT Port DC Connectors ( + ) For PV Strings Meter Port DC Connectors ( − ) For PV Strings Monitor Module Port Battery Port AC Port & EPS Port DRM Port 4.1.3 Mounting Location The inverters are designed for indoor and outdoor installation (IP65), to increase the safety, performance and lifespan of the inverter, please select the mounting location carefully based on the following rules:...
Page 15
The inverter should be installed vertically on the wall, or lean back on plane with a limited tilted angle. Please refer to below picture. <15° >0° Leave the enough space around inverter, easy for accessing to the inverter, connection points and maintenance. 300mm 300mm 300mm...
4.3.1 PV Connec�on The AF-TH series hybrid inverter has one/two MPPT channels, can be connected with one/two strings of PV panels. Please make sure below requirements are followed before connecting PV panels and strings to the inverter: • The open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of PV string should not exceed the reasonable range of the inverters.
Step 2 Note: Please use PV connector crimper to pinch the point of the arrow. Note: You’ll hear click sound when the connector assembly is correct. Step 3 4.3.2 Ba�ery Connec�on Ex9N-H-KT1 series hybrid inverters are compatible with lithium battery. For lead acid battery or batteries with other brands, please confirm with local distributor or Noark for technical support.

Step 1 Crimp the battery power cord to the metal terminal. Note: Battery cable suggestion Cross-section 8-10 mm. Step 2 Note: Please use Battery connector crimper to pinch the point of the arrow. Note: You’ll hear click sound when the connector assembly is correct.
Page 21
Step 3 Insert the battery connector into the inverter, if hear a “click”, it means the battery connection is finished. Note: The fatal high voltage may on the battery side, please comply with electric safety when connecting. Note: Please make sure the correct polarity of the cable connected with inverter, otherwise inverter could be damaged.

4.3.4 AC Connec�on The AC terminal contains “GRID” and “BACK-UP”, GRID for load, and BACK-UP for emergency load. Before connecting, a separate AC breaker between individual inverter and AC input power is necessary. This will ensure the inverter be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from current of AC input.
Page 25
Note: The wiring terminals should be wrapped with insulation tape, otherwise it will cause a short circuit and damage the inverter. Note: The Max. power load connects to BACK-UP port should not exceed the inverter's BACK-UP Max. output power range. Step 2 Step 3...
4.3.5 Zero-injection Smart Meter Smart meter is an intelligent control equipment which is used for on-grid inverters. Its main function is to measure the forward and reverse power on the grid-connected side, and transmit data to the inverter through RS485 communication to ensure that the power of the inverter is less than or equal to the user's home load, and no current flows into the grid.
4.4 Communication Connection The monitoring module could transmit the data to the cloud server, and display the data on the PC, tablet and smart-phone. Install the WIFI / Ethernet / GPRS / RS485 Communication WIFI / Ethernet / GPRS / RS485 communication is applicable to the inverter. Please refer to "Communication Configuration Instruction"...
4.5 Earth Connection Note: A second protective earth (PE) terminal should be connected to the inverter. This prevents electric shock if the original protective PE wire fails. Step 1 Grounding terminal 10 ±0.5mm Note: Earth cable PE suggestion: Cross-section (Copper) 8mm² Step 2 Fix the grounding screw to the grounding connection of the machine housing.
