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.

Features
Pure sine wave inverter
Configurable input voltage range for home appliances and personal computers via LCD setting
Configurable battery charging current based on applications via LCD setting
Configurable AC/Solar Charger priority via LCD setting
Compatible to mains voltage or generator power
Auto restart while AC is recovering
Overload/ Over temperature/ short circuit protection
Smart battery charger design for optimized battery performance

Basic System Architecture
The following illustration shows basic application for this inverter/charger. It also includes following devices to
have a complete running system:
Generator or Utility.
PV modules (option)
Consult with your system integrator for other possible system architectures depending on your requirements.

This inverter can power all kinds of appliances in home or office environment, including motor-type appliances
such as tube light, fan, refrigerator and air conditioner.

Figure 1 Hybrid Power System

Note: Appliances like air conditioner need at least 2~3 minutes to restart because its required to have
enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits. If a power shortage occurs and recovers
in a short time, it will cause damage to your connected appliances. To prevent this kind of damage,
please check manufacturer of air conditioner if its equipped with time-delay function before
installation. Otherwise, this inverter/charger will trig overload fault and cut off output to protect your
appliance but sometimes it still causes internal damage to the air conditioner.

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
Users manual x 1
Communication cable x 1

Preparation
Before connecting all wirings, please take off bottom cover by removing two screws as shown below.

10
Mounting the Unit
Consider the following points before selecting where to install:
Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
Mount on a solid surface
Install this inverter at eye level in order to allow the LCD display to be read at all times.
For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance of approx. 10 cm to the side and approx. 50
cm above and below the unit.
The ambient temperature should be between 0C and 55C to ensure optimal operation.
The recommended installation position is to be adhered to the wall vertically.
Be sure keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the below diagram to guarantee sufficient heat
dissipation and to have enough space for removing wires.

Install the unit by screwing three screws.

11
Battery Connection
CAUTION: To safety operation and regulation compliance, its 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, its still requested to have over-current protection installed. Please refer
to typical amperage in below table as required fuse or beaker size.

WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel.

WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for battery
connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable and terminal size as below.
Recommended battery cable and terminal size:
Typical Battery Ring Type for Cable
Model 1~3 m one-way Torque value
Amperage capacity Terminal
1*6AWG KST: RNBS14-6
1KVA/2KVA 66A 100AH 2~ 3 Nm
2*10AWG KST: RNBS8-6
100AH 1*4AWG KST: RNBS22-6
3KVA 100A 2~ 3 Nm
200AH 2*8AWG KST: RNBS14-6

Please follow below steps to implement battery connection:

1. Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size.
2. 1KVA model supports 12VDC system and 2KVA/3KVA model supports 24VDC system. Connect all battery
packs as below chart. Its suggested to connect at least 100Ah capacity battery for each.

NOTE: Please only use sealed lead acid battery or sealed GEL/AGM lead-acid battery.

3. Insert the ring terminal of battery cable flatly into battery connector on the inverter and make sure the
bolts are tightened to a 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.

12
 WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.

CAUTION!! Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal and the ring
terminal. Otherwise, overheating may occur.
CAUTION!! Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are
connected tightly.
CAUTION!! Before making the final DC connection or closing DC breaker/disconnector, be sure
positive (+) must be connected to positive (+) and negative (-) must be connected to negative
(-).

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 10A
for 1KVA, 20A for 2KVA, 32A for 3KVA.
CAUTION!! There are two terminal blocks with IN and OUT markings. Please do NOT mis-connect input
and output connectors.

WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel.

WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for AC input
connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below.
Suggested cable requirement for AC wires
Model AWG no. Torque
1KVA 16 AWG 0.5~ 0.6 Nm
2KVA 14 AWG 0.8~ 1.0 Nm
3KVA 12 AWG 1.2~ 1.6 Nm

Please follow below steps to implement AC input/output connection:

1. Before making AC input/output connection, be sure to open DC protector or disconnector first.
2. Remove insulation sleeve 6mm for six conductors of 1KVA and 10mm for 2K/3KVA. And shorten phase L
and neutral conductor N 3 mm.
3. Insert AC input wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten the terminal screws. Be
sure to connect PE protective conductor ( ) first.

WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel.

WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for PV
module connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below.
Model Typical Amperage Cable Size Torque
1KVA/2KVA/3KVA 50A 8 AWG 1.4~1.6 Nm

Please follow below steps to implement PV module connection:

1. Remove insulation sleeve 10 mm for positive and negative conductors.
2. Check correct polarity of connection cable from PV modules and PV input
connectors. Then, connect positive pole (+) of connection cable to positive
pole (+) of PV input connector. Connect negative pole (-) of connection
cable to negative pole (-) of PV input connector.
