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 in the package:
The unit x 1
User manual x 1
Communication cable x 1
Software CD x 1

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

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.
The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 55°C
to ensure optimal operation.
The recommended installation position is to be adhered to
the wall vertically.
Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the
right diagram to guarantee sufficient heat dissipation and
to have enough space for removing wires.

SUITABLE FOR MOUNTING ON CONCRETE OR


OTHER NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE ONLY.

5
Install the unit by screwing three screws. It’s recommended to use M4 or M5 screws.

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. Please refer
to typical amperage in below table as required fuse or breaker size.
Ring terminal:

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


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:

Please follow below steps to implement battery connection:
1. Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size.
2. Connect all battery packs as units requires. It’s suggested to connect at least 100Ah capacity battery for
1-3KVA model and at least 200Ah capacity battery for 4KVA/5KVA model.
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.

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
(-).

7
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, 40A for 4KVA and 50A for 5KVA.
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 Gauge Torque Value
1KVA 16 AWG 0.5~ 0.6 Nm
2KVA 14 AWG 0.8~ 1.0 Nm
3KVA 12 AWG 1.2~ 1.6 Nm
4KVA 10 AWG 1.4~ 1.6Nm
5KVA 8 AWG 1.4~ 1.6Nm

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 10mm for six conductors. 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.
→Ground (yellow-green)
L→LINE (brown or black)
N→Neutral (blue)

WARNING:
Be sure that AC power source is disconnected before attempting to hardwire it to the unit.

4. Then, insert AC output wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten terminal screws.
Be sure to connect PE protective conductor first.
→Ground (yellow-green)
L→LINE (brown or black)
N→Neutral (blue)

8
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. 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
with manufacturer of air conditioner that if it’s equipped with time-delay function before installation. Otherwise,
this off grid solar inverter will trigger overload fault and cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes
it still causes internal damage to the air conditioner.

PV Connection
CAUTION: Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit breaker between inverter
and PV modules.

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


WARNING! It'’ 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 40A 10 AWG 1.2~1.6 Nm

4KVA / 5KVA 80A 6 AWG 1.4~1.6 Nm

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 1KVA 2KVA / 3KVA 4KVA / 5KVA

Max. PV Array Open Circuit Voltage 102Vdc max 102Vdc max 145Vdc
PV Array MPPT Voltage Range 15~80Vdc 30~80Vdc 60~115Vdc
Min. battery voltage for PV charge 8.5Vdc 17Vdc 34Vdc

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.

3. Make sure the wires are securely connected.

Final Assembly
After connecting all wiring, please put bottom cover back by screwing two screws as shown below.
