Do not place anything between battery cable lug and terminal surface. Assemble exactly as shown. Fig. 1: Battery to inverter connection WARNING! During the first installation, it is normal to experience a small spark is a normal phenomenon because the internal capacitors charging.
DC Input Voltage Model Minimum Maximum 4-2. Hard-wire Installation: 4-2-1 SD series provides the flexibility of hard-wire connection, and this function will make external control panel wiring easier. Step 1. > Remove the four screws of AC wiring compartment and pull it out with care.

100VAC~120VAC / 200VAC~240VAC System NOTE: The only difference between 110V and 220V is within the AC Input breaker L or N and thus will not affect the wiring configuration. 4-2-2 Connect AC output and AC input wiring to the SD series terminals. Please take the following information as your reference.

the “N” terminal of the AC input source. If the AC input source is the power supplied from the utility, the “N” terminal would be a Neutral in the true sense. It will normally be bonded to the earth ground and will read almost 0 V with respect to the earth ground.
5. Parallel Mode 5-1. Prepare for Parallel Usage 1. Before setting, you need to ensure that the main switch is”OFF”. 2. Before using the parallel function, you need to set the parallel jump of the green terminal the status of which must be “ON”, if the between in another SD is set to ”OFF”...
Parallel Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 Parallel Jump OFF* * If you parallel N units, the first (unit 1) and the last unit (unit N) must set parallel jumper in ON position. NOTE: SD series can be used for N+1 (N≦14) redundancy and the ability of enlarge the capacity (Users can install maximum 15 units of inverters together in parallel in order to provide the power expansion).

Not prefer to use different battery-bank attery- attery- configuration because batteries voltage is bank 1 bank 2 difficult to control.
5-2-3 Remove Parallel Connection 1. If “A” and “B” was used in parallel, we only need to operate one of them. 2. In the parallel mode, the first SD turned on will be the master. 3 . If we just want to use only one of SDs, we can just remove RJ45 cable, but make sure the operation is performed in shut-down mode.
