IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉS IMPORTANTES SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS General Precautions Before using the TSW inverter, please read all instructions and cautionary marks on (1) the inverter, (2) the batteries, and (3) all appropriate sections of this instruction manual. Do not expose INVERTER to rain, snow, or liquids of any type. -
Page 6: Personal Precautions
11. Personal Precautions 1. Someone should be within voice range when you work near batteries in case of an emergency. 2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. 3. Wear complete eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries. Wash your hands when done. -

Page 13: Battery Information
4.1 Battery Information 4.1.1 Battery Size Batteries are the Inverter’s fuel tank. The larger the batteries the longer the INVERTER can operate before recharging is necessary. An undersized battery bank results in reduced battery life and disappointing system performance. Avoid discharging batteries to more than 50% of their capacity too often. Under extreme conditions, such as a severe storm or a long utility outage, cycling to a discharge level of 80% is acceptable. -
Page 14: Battery Hook-Up Configurations
To reduce corrosion on the battery terminals, coat them with a thin layer of petroleum jelly or anti-corrosion grease available from automotive parts stores or battery suppliers. Do not apply any material between the terminal and the cable lugs, the connection should be metal to metal. Apply the protective material after the bolts have been tightened 4.1.4 Battery Hook-up Configurations Battery banks of substantial size can be configured by connecting several smaller batteries. -

4.1.5 Battery Installation CAUTION Batteries can produce extremely high currents in short-circuit. Be very careful working around them. Read the important safety instructions at the beginning of this manual and the battery supplier's precautions before installing the Inverter and batteries ATTENTION Les batteries peuvent produire les courants extrêmement élevés dans le court-circuit. -
Page 16: Grounding
4.2 Grounding 4.2.1 System Grounding System grounding is often the most misunderstood wiring concept. The subject is more easily discussed if it is divided into three separate subjects. The grounding requirements vary widely by locale and application. Consult local codes and the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70) for specific requirements. 4.2.2 Equipment or Chassis Grounds This is the simplest part of grounding. - Page 17 AC SYSTEM HOT IN HOT IN HOT OUT HOT OUT NEUTRAL NEUTRAL NEUTRAL BUS-BAR APOLLO SOLAR TSW INVERTER DC SYSTEM DC NEGATIVE BATTERY BUS-BAR SYSTEM CHASSIS GROUND CHASSIS GROUND GROUND BONDING BUS-BAR JUMPERS EQUIPMENT GROUND GROUNDING CONDUCTOR APOLLO SOLAR TSW...

Page 20: Dc Wiring
4.3.1 DC Wiring WARNING Even though DC Voltage is low voltage, significant hazards may exist, particularly from short circuits of the battery system. A 250A rated circuit breaker must be used on the DC input. AVERTISSEMENT Quoique la tension CC Soit basse tension, les risques significatifs peuvent exister, en particulier des courts-circuits de l'installation de batterie. -

requires that the DC wiring and circuit protection be sized to carry not less than 125% of the inverter’s maximum current rating. Crimped and sealed copper ring terminal lugs with a 5/16” hole should be used to • connect the DC wires to the DC terminals. To ensure the maximum performance from the inverter, all connections from the battery •... -

3) la tension CC et la polarité Correcte a été vérifiée. Place the batteries as close as possible to the inverter, preferably in an insulated and ventilated enclosure. Allow adequate space above the batteries to access the terminals and vent caps (if flooded cells). - Page 23 DC Negative Cable – Route the appropriately sized cable from the battery negative terminal to the shunt, and from the other side of the shunt to the inverter’s negative DC terminal. IMPORTANT The side of the shunt that connects to the inverter should be considered the DC negative bus in order for the State of Charge (SOC) function to operate properly.

Page 25: Ac Wire Size And Overcurrent Protection
4.3.2.1 AC Wire Size and Overcurrent Protection AC input and output wiring must be sized per NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70) and local electrical safety code requirements to ensure the wires ability to safely handle the inverter’s maximum load current. Overcurrent protection devices are required to protect the inverter’s input and output wiring. Since overcurrent protection is not included in the inverter, it must be added at the time of installation. -
