ABOUT THIS MANUAL Purpose This manual describes the assembly, installation, operation and troubleshooting of this unit. Please read this manual carefully before installations and operations. Keep this manual for future reference. Scope This manual provides safety and installation guidelines as well as information on tools and wiring. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions.
INTRODUCTION This is a multi-function inverter/charger, combining functions of inverter, MPPT solar charger and battery charger to offer uninterruptible power support with portable size. Its comprehensive LCD display offers user-configurable and easy-accessible button operation such as battery charging current, AC/solar charger priority, and acceptable input voltage based on different applications.
Product Overview 5KVA single model 5KVA parallel model 3KVA model 1. LCD display 2. Status indicator NOTE: For parallel model installation and operation, 3. Charging indicator please check separate parallel installation guide for 4. Fault indicator the details. 5. Function buttons 6.
INSTALLATION Unpacking and Inspection Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. You should have received the following items inside of package: The unit x 1 User manual x 1 Communication cable x 1 ...
Install the unit by screwing three screws. 3KVA/5KVA Model Battery Connection CAUTION: For safety operation and regulation compliance, it’s requested to install a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect device between battery and inverter. It may not be requested to have a disconnect device in some applications, however, it’s still requested to have over-current protection installed.

3. Insert the ring terminal of battery cable flatly into battery connector of inverter and make sure the bolts are tightened with torque of 2-3 Nm. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the inverter/charge is correctly connected and ring terminals are tightly screwed to the battery terminals. WARNING: Shock Hazard Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.
AC Input/Output Connection CAUTION!! Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and AC input power source. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input. The recommended spec of AC breaker is 32A for 3KVA and 50A for 5KVA.
5. Make sure the wires are securely connected. CAUTION: Important 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. CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner are required at least 2~3 minutes to restart because it’s required to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits.
PV Module Selection: When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters: 1. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules not exceeds max. PV array open circuit voltage of inverter. 2. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules should be higher than min. battery voltage. Solar Charging Mode INVERTER MODEL 3KVA / 5KVA...
