2 Installation Instructions
2.1 General installation notes
 Read all the installation instructions carefully in the manual before installation.
 Be very careful when installing the batteries. Please wear eye protection when installing the
open-type lead-acid battery, and rinse with clean water in time for battery acid contact.
 Keep the battery away from any metal objects, which may cause a short circuit of the battery.
 Acid gas may be generated when the battery is charged. Ensure that the surrounding environment is
well ventilated.
 The inverter/charger requires enough clearance above and below for proper airflow. Do not install
the inverter/charger and the lead-acid liquid battery in the same cabinet to avoid the batteries' acid
gas from corroding the inverter/charger.
 Only charge the batteries within the control range of this inverter/charger.
 Loose power connections and corroded wires may result in high heat that can melt wire insulation,
burn surrounding materials, or even cause a fire. Ensure tight connections and secure cables with
clamps to prevent them from swaying while moving the inverter/charger.
 Select the system cables according to the current density of not more than 3.5A/mm2 (according to
the National Electrical Code Article 690 NFPA70.)
 The inverter/charger is for indoor installation only. Do not install the inverter/charger in a harsh
environment such as humid, salt spray, corrosion, greasy, flammable, explosive, or dust
accumulative.
 After turn off the power switch, there is still high voltage inside the inverter/charger. Therefore, do not
open or touch the internal components and perform related operations after the capacitor's total
discharge.
 The DC input terminal is equipped with reverse polarity protection. Therefore, the reverse
connection of the DC input terminal will not cause fatal damage to the product. However, it is
strongly recommended to connect the inverter/charger with the PV array and utility after normal
running.
 Both utility input and AC output are of high voltage, do not touch the wiring connection to avoid
electric shock.
 To prevent injury, do not touch the fan while it is working.

8) Install the cover and secure the screws.
2.6 Operating the inverter/charger
1) Close the circuit breaker of the battery side.
2) Turn the rocker switch on the side of the inverter/charger to the ON state. The inverter/charger
generally works when the indicator is ON solid.
Ensure that the battery connection is correct and the battery circuit breaker is turned
on first. And then, close the PV array and utility circuit breakers after the
WARNING inverter/charger running normally. Again, we won't assume any responsibility for not
following the operation.
3) Close the circuit breaker of the PV array.
4) Close the circuit breaker of the utility input.
5) After the AC output is normal, turn on the AC loads one by one. The inverter/charger typically works
as per the set mode. Do not turn on all the loads simultaneously to avoid protection due to a large
transient impulse current.
 When supplying power for different AC loads, it is recommended to turn on the

load with a large impulse current. And then turn on the load with a smaller impulse
current after the load output is stable.

① After the inverter/charger is powered on for the first time, the battery capacity displayed on the
LCD may be inaccurate. To display the available battery capacity accurately, the below process
of self-calibration and self-learning is necessary.
 When the battery voltage reaches the low voltage disconnect voltage or reaches the float
charging voltage, the inverter/charger calibrates the battery capacity for the first time.
 When the battery goes from the over-discharged state to the fully-charged state, the
inverter/charger calibrates the battery capacity again.
When the connected lithium battery (with BMS) is equipped with a battery capacity
CAUTION display, the lithium battery capacity will be displayed as per the BMS.

UP-Hi automatically enters the no-battery mode and displays BME.
(2) When the battery is fully charged and the SOC reaches 100%, the charging process is stopped
and the BFC is displayed (without indicator and buzzer warning).

6 Maintenance
The following inspections and maintenance tasks are recommended at least two times per year
for the best performance.
 Make sure the inverter/charger is firmly installed in a clean and dry ambient.
 Make sure no block on airflow around the inverter/charger. Clear up any dirt and fragments on the
radiator.
 Check all the naked wires to ensure insulation is not damaged for serious solarization, frictional wear,
dryness, insects or rats, etc. Repair or replace some wires if necessary.
 Tighten all the terminals. Inspect for loose, broken, or burnt wire connections.
 Check and confirm that LED or LCD is consistent with the actual operating. Pay attention to any
troubleshooting or error indication. Then, take the necessary corrective action.
 Confirm that all the system components are ground connected tightly and correctly.
 Confirm that all the terminals have no corrosion, insulation damaged, high temperature, or
burnt/discolored sign. Then, tighten terminal screws to the suggested torque.
 Check for dirt, nesting insects, and corrosion. If so, clear up in time.
 Check and confirm the lightning arrester is in good condition. Replace a new one in time to avoid
damaging the inverter/charger and even other equipment.
Risk of electric shock! Ensure that all the power is turned off before the above
WARNING operations, and then follow the corresponding inspections and operations.
