1.1 General Safety Precautions

1.1.1 Before installing and using the M Series Off Grid Solar Inverter Charger, read the manual and
cautionary markings on the Inverter/Charger enclosure. Be sure to read all instructions and cautionary
markings for any equipment attached to this unit. Installers must be certified technicians or electricians.
1.1.2 This product is designed for indoor/compartment installation. Do not expose the inverter/charger to
rain, snow, spray, bilge or dust. To reduce the risk of hazard, do not cover or obstruct the ventilation
openings. Do not install the inverter/charger in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
Allow at least 30CM (11.81 inches) of clearance around the inverter for air flow. Make sure that the air can
circulate freely around the unit. A minimum air flow of 145CFM is required.
1.1.3 To avoid a risk of fire and electronic shock. Make sure that existing wiring is in good electrical
condition; and that wire size is not undersized. Do not operate the Inverter with damaged or substandard
wiring.
1.1.4 This equipment contains components which can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion
do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations which require
ignition protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks,
or joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the fuel system. See Warranty for instructions
on obtaining service.
1.1.5 Do not dis-assemble the Inverter/Charger. It contains no user serviceable parts. Attempting to service
the Inverter/Charger yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire. Internal capacitors remain
charged after all power is disconnected.
1.1.6 To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the Inverter/Charger
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk
CAUTION: Equipment damage
The output side of the inverter’s AC wiring should at no time be connected to public power or a generator.
This condition is far worse than a short circuit. If the unit survives this condition, it will shut down until
corrections are made.

2
www.sigineer.com
circuit of the inverter.
Our MPPT charger is electrically integrated into the inverter design and is able to harness the PV production
to charge batteries when the inverter is powered off.
Its powerful DSP (digital signal processor) makes them very versatile and almost all of its specifications can
be adjusted via its top cover LCD or remote LCD panel, such as AC output voltage, frequency, power
priority, low/high battery cutoff, charging profiles & amperage, DC/AC transfer conditions, etc.

2.4 Electrical Performance
2.4.1 DC to AC Invert
Overload Capacity
The M3048BP & M5000H-48BP inverter/charger has different overload capacities, making it ideal to
handle demanding loads.
1 For 110%<Load<150%, Fault (Power off) after 10 seconds.
2 For 150%<Load≤200%, Fault (Power off) after the 5 seconds.
Caution:
After the inverter is switched on, it takes a finite time for it to self diagnose and get ready to deliver full
power. Hence, the user should always switch on the load(s) after a few seconds of switching on the inverter
to avoid switching on the load before the inverter is powered on. This may prematurely trigger the overload
protection. When a load is switched on, it may require a higher initial power surge to start. If multiple loads
are being powered, they should be switched on one by one so that the inverter is not overloaded by the
higher starting surge.
2.4.2 AC & MPPT Charger

The M Series pure sine wave inverter/charger is equipped with an active PFC (Power Factor Corrected)
multistage battery charger. The PFC feature is used to control the amount of power used to charge the
batteries in order to obtain a power factor as close as possible to 1.
The M Series pure sine wave inverter/charger has a very rapid charge current available, and the max charge
current can be adjusted from 10% to 100% in small increments on the LCD of the inverter. This will be
4
www.sigineer.com
helpful if this powerful charger applies charging on a small capacity battery bank.
The max charging current decreases according to the input AC voltage.
There are three main charging stages:
Bulk Charging: This is the initial stage of charging. While Bulk Charging, the charger supplies the battery
with controlled constant current. The charger will remain in Bulk charge until the Absorption charge voltage
(determined by the Battery Type selection) is achieved.
Software timer will measure the time from charger start until the battery charger reaches 0.3V below the
boost voltage, then take this time as T0 and T0×10 = T1.
Absorb Charging: This is the second charging stage and begins after the absorb voltage has been reached.
Absorb Charging provides the batteries with a constant voltage and reduces the DC charging current in order
to maintain the absorb voltage setting.
In this period, the inverter will start a T1 timer; the charger will keep the boost voltage in Boost CV mode
until the T1 timer has run out. Then drop the voltage down to the float voltage. The timer has a minimum
time of 1 hour and a maximum time of 12 hours. When charging current reduces to below 0.01C, the charger
will go to the float charge.
Float Charging: The third charging stage occurs at the end of the Absorb Charging time. While Float
charging, the charge voltage is reduced to the float charge voltage (determined by the Battery Type
selection*). In this stage, the batteries are kept fully charged and ready if needed by the inverter.
If the battery type is selected as “lithium battery”, our charger will drastically reduce the charging current to
zero once float voltage is reached.
The charging capacity will go to peak in around 3 seconds, this may probably cause a generator to drop
frequency, making inverter transfer to battery mode.
It is suggested to gradually put charging load on the generator by switching the charging switch from min to
max, together with the 15s switch delay, our inverter gives the generator enough time to spin up.
To guarantee the best performance of AC charger when the AC input is from a

generator, the standby generator should be of at least 150% higher capacity than the
inverter.
Warning! Operation with an under-rated generator or generator with unqualified
Caution: wave form may cause premature failure which is not under warranty.
Battery Equalization
5
www.sigineer.com
Equalization function is added into the M series inverter charge controller. It reverses the buildup of
negative chemical effects like stratification, a condition where acid concentration is greater at the bottom of
the battery than at the top. Equalization also helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the
plates. If left unchecked, this condition, called sulfation, will reduce the overall capacity of the battery.
Therefore, it’s recommended to equalize battery periodically.
How to Apply Equalization Function
You must enable battery equalization function in monitoring LCD setting program 43 first. Then, you may
apply this function in device by either one of following methods:
1. Setting equalization interval in program 47.
2. Active equalization immediately in program 48.
When to Equalize
In float stage, when the setting equalization interval (battery equalization cycle) is arrived, or equalization is
active immediately, the controller will start to enter Equalize stage.
Equalize charging time and timeout

In Equalize stage, the controller will supply power to charge battery as much as possible until battery
voltage raises to battery equalization voltage. Then, constant-voltage regulation is applied to maintain
battery voltage at the battery equalization voltage. The battery will remain in the Equalize stage until setting
battery equalized time is arrived.
However, in Equalize stage, when battery equalized time is expired and battery voltage doesn’t rise to
battery equalization voltage point, the charge controller will extend the battery equalized time until battery
voltage achieves battery equalization voltage. If battery voltage is still lower than battery equalization
voltage when battery equalized timeout setting is over, the charge controller will stop equalization and return
to float stage.
The M Series pure sine wave inverter/charger is built with MPPT solar charging modules up to 100A.
Model # AC Charging Current MPPT Solar Charger Max Charging Current
M3048BP 40A 80A 80A
M5000H-48BP 80A 100A 100A
The MPPT Solar Charger will automatically work when the inverter is powered off.
Even when the power switch is in unit off position, the built-in solar charger will automatically work when
6
www.sigineer.com
PV input voltage and battery voltage is qualified, this is to optimize solar production for battery charging.
But the inverter will not convert battery power to AC output.
When the battery is fully charged, the inverter will keep the battery capacity at 100%, and convert the extra
PV power directly from DC to AC to power loads.
When the battery is fully charged, the voltage has to drop by 2 volts (or below 95% of SOC when BMS
communication is established) to activate the charger.
2.4.3 DC&AC Transfer

While in the Standby Mode, the AC input of the inverter is continually monitored. Whenever AC power falls
out of the trip voltages, the inverter automatically transfers back to the Invert Mode with minimum
interruption to your appliances.
The transfer from AC mode to Inverter mode occurs in approximately 10 milliseconds, with the worst case
of 20 milliseconds. And it is the same time from Inverter mode to Standby mode.
Though it is not designed as a computer UPS system, this transfer time is usually fast enough to hold them
up as devices like computers can generally tolerate a max power loss of 20ms.
When the inverters are paralleled, the transfer time is <30ms.
Bypass output power derating:

When AC input voltage drops below 170Vac, the output power will be de-rated linearly to as long as 20% at 90Vac.

2.4.4 Power Saver

There are two working statuses for the inverters: “Power On” and “Power Off”.
When power switch is in the “Unit Off” position, the inverter is powered off.
When power switch is turned to “Power ON”, the inverter is powered on.
When the inverter is powered on, users can activate “power saver” in the program 04 of the software.
The “Power Saver” function is dedicated to conserve battery power when AC power demand is either
minimal or not required at all by the loads.
In this mode, the inverter pulses the AC output in every 30 seconds looking for an AC load (i.e., electrical
appliance). Whenever an AC load (greater than 100 watts) is turned on, the inverter recognizes the need for
power and automatically starts inverting and output goes to full voltage. When there is a small load (less
than 100 watts) detected, the inverter automatically goes back into search mode to minimize energy
consumption from the battery bank.
7
www.sigineer.com
In “Power saver” mode, the inverter will draw power mainly in sensing moments, thus the idle consumption
is reduced from 60 watts to 30 watts.
Power Saver On Power Saver Off Power Saver On (Load detected)
Note: The minimum power of a load to take inverter out of sleep mode (Power Saver On) is 100
Watts.
When the inverter is in idle, even there is AC input power, the inverter will discharge the battery as
the LCD, relay, fans are powered by DC.
For more detailed technical information, please contact us.
In the “search sense” mode, the LED will blink and the inverter will make a ticking sound. At full output
voltage, the inverter will make a steady humming sound. When the inverter is used as an “uninterruptible”
power supply the search sense mode function should be defeated.
Exceptions
Some devices, when scanned by the load sensor, cannot be detected. Small fluorescent lights are the most
common example. (Try altering the plug polarity by turning the plug over.) Some computers and
sophisticated electronics have power supplies that do not present a load until line voltage is available. When
this occurs, each unit waits for the other to begin. To drive these loads, either a small companion load must
be used to bring the inverter out of its search mode, or the inverter may be programmed to remain operating
at full output voltage.
2.4.5 Protections
The M Series inverter/charger is equipped with extensive protections against various harsh situations/faults.
These protections include:
⚫ AC Input over voltage protection/AC Input low voltage protection
⚫ Low battery alarm/High battery alarm
⚫ Over temperature protection/Over load protection
⚫ Short Circuit protection (1s after fault)
⚫ Battery Polarity Reverse Protection
Users can customize whether the inverter should automatically restart or not after some of these protections.
Warning !
The below mistakes will damage the inverter permanently and must be avoided:
*Reverse the PV input polarity.
*Use any third-party accessories, communication cables on the inverter.
8
www.sigineer.com
*Wire the AC input power to the AC output terminals.

Program 01: Power Priority for AC Loads
01 UEI: Utility Priority (Default)

In this mode, the utility will provide power to the AC loads as the first power source.
Solar and battery energy will provide power to the loads only when utility power is not available.
This mode works for applications with cheap utility power or using battery in power outages.
01 SOL: Solar Priority

In this mode, the solar energy provides power to the loads as the first power source.
If solar energy is insufficient, battery energy will be consumed.
Utility power will engage when one of below conditions happens:
1 Solar energy is not available (No PV production).
2 Battery voltage drops to either low-level warning voltage or the setting point in program 12 (DC to AC
Transfer Voltage in “SOL Priority”).
Once the solar power is lost, the utility will have higher priority than battery. This mode can be regarded as
“SUB”(Solar>Utility>Battery).
In this mode, the inverter will transfer between DC and AC as per the settings of program 12 and 13. Users
can set it to utility priority to stop the cycling.
01 SbU: SBU Priority

As indicated by the abbreviation, the power priority comes as solar>battery>utility.
Solar energy provides power as the first priority.
If solar energy is insufficient, battery energy will be consumed.
Utility provides power to the loads only when battery voltage drops to either low-level warning voltage or
the setting point in program 12(DC to AC Transfer Voltage in “SBU Priority”).
12
www.sigineer.com
When solar is gone in SBU mode, the power priority becomes battery>utility, battery priority is higher than
utility priority.
In this mode, the inverter will transfer between DC and AC as per the settings of program 12 and 13. Users
can set it to utility priority to stop the cycling.
01 SUB Priority
Solar energy provides power to the loads as the first priority.
If solar energy is not sufficient to power all connected loads, solar and utility will power loads at the same
time.
Battery provides power to the loads only when solar energy is not sufficient and there is no utility.

AGM Battery (Default) : CV :56.4V, Float 54V.
05: FLd
Flood Battery: CV :58.4V, Float 56V.
05: USE
User-Defined
If “User-Defined” is selected, battery charge voltage and low DC cut-off voltage can be set up in program
19, 20 and 21. This setting works for GEL batteries etc.
05: US2
User-Defined 2
This US2 setting is designed for the inverter to work with lithium battery without communication via BMS.
As floating charging is not required for lithium batteries, in US2 mode, the program 19&20 will be
interlocked and set to the same value whenever one of them is changed.
Compared with USE, the charger in US2 will immediately reduce charging current when the preset voltage
in 19 is reached.
NOTE: The US2 will not optimally charge the lithium battery due to the lack of BMS communication. The
battery capacity icon bar doesn’t reflect the actual battery capacity; it is converted from battery voltage. For
more details, please refer to page 13.
When the inverter is in US2, it could not correctly display the accurate SOC of the lithium batteries.
The displayed SOC is converted from battery voltage. The SOC will change only when the battery voltage
changes big enough.
Due to the ripple current from the utility charger, when “US2” is set for charging lithium batteries, it is
recommended to set the max utility charging current at 30% of the nominal charge current.
05: LI
Lithium
This setting only works when inverter communicates with lithium battery BMS built with the same protocol.
The program is set to “LI”, the LCD will show a hidden program of 36 about BMS protocol types.
There are many lithium battery BMS communication protocols, L01, L02 to L99.
For Sigineer Power LFP power walls, the protocol is L01.
When the battery type set as “LI”, the maximum charge current can be modified by the user.
Note: When the communication fails, the inverter will cut off output.
RS485 communication protocol is L01 to L50.
The CAN communication protocol is L51 to L99.

The inverter is built with automatic PV and utility power wakeup feature.
When the power switch is in power off, and qualified PV input, the PV charger will be activated, and the
rest part of the inverter will remain powered off.
In this mode, the utility power can only illuminate the LCD, it can’t charge batteries.
When the inverter shuts off due to low battery voltage, and the switch is kept on “on” position, the inverter
will use qualified utility power or PV power to charge batteries and wake up at “cold start voltage” to
discharge the battery to provide AC output.
If the inverter is set in SOL or SUB, the automatic wake up feature will charge battery close to “Utility to
Battery switch” voltage, and then cut off utility charger, switch to DC to AC model.
2.4.8 Audible Alarm

The inverter also gives audible alarms when the following situations occur.
Warning Buzzer beeps 0.5s every second.
Error Long Beep. Beeps 0.5s every 1s for 10s, shut off, then long beep for 60 seconds.
2.4.9 FAN Operation

For M Series 5KW models, there are two DC fans.
The DC fans will just the fan speed in a linear proportion according to load and charger wattage.
It will slow down after 1 minute when the triggering condition disappears.
Allow at least 30CM of clearance around the inverter for air flow. Make sure that the air can circulate freely
around the unit.
Fan noise level <60db at a distance of 1 meter.

2.4.10 Auto Generator Start Dry Contact

The solar inverter is built with a very versatile 3-pin dry contact rated at 3A/250VAC on the rear
panel.
The internal relays of the dry contact will give out either “close” or “open” signals.
These signals can be used to indicate the low battery voltage alarm or control a generator.
The NC & C pins are constantly close, they will open when battery voltage reaches low alarm or the setting
in Program 12 (DC to AC Transfer).
The NO & C pins are constantly open, they will close when battery voltage reaches low alarm or the setting
in Program 12 (DC to AC Transfer) to start the generator. Once the generator is started and battery voltage
increases with charging, the dry contact pins will open at the setting of Program 13 (AC to DC Transfer) to
avoid overcharging.

When the battery setting is in “LI” mode, low battery alarm is 5% higher than Low DC Cut-off Soc.
2.4.11 Automatic Recovery Operation

For the M3048BP & M5000H-48BP, it is designed with automatic recovery from:
⚫ Overloads shutoff
⚫ Over temperature shutoff
⚫ Low battery voltage cutoff.
Pls to “Program 06 Automatic Overload Restart ” “Program 07: Automatic OverTemp Restart
”and “Program 21 Low DC Cut-Off Voltage” for more details.
2.4.12 Batteryless Operation

The M5000H-48BP inverter can operate without batteries.
It can convert DC solar power to AC and/or bypass AC input power to power loads.
This function is designed to save battery investment.
In DC to AC mode, the AC output voltage and power will fluctuate with the PV input power.
If the AC input power supply is unstable, the AC output of the inverter will be unstable as well.
The batteryless operation mode only works with loads that can tolerate voltage fluctuations and can work at
25
www.sigineer.com
different power supply levels.
Users can also use utility power as to supplement the load consumption to save power.
2.4.13 Advanced Utility Charging & Bypass Control With Timer

The M3048BP and M5000H-48BP inverters are designed with a timer to control its AC output power and
AC charger at preset time frame.
This will enable the inverter to use utility power at off peak hours to save the electricity bills.
2.4.14 Automatic Neutral-to-Ground Bonding

The automatic neutral-to-ground bonding feature uses an internal relay that automatically connects the AC
neutral output to the vehicle/boat’s safety ground (“bonding” it) in Inverter Mode and disconnects it
(“un-bonding” it) when they have connected to a qualified external AC source.
This design avoids two neutral-to-ground connections from existing at the same time, thereby preventing an
electrical shock hazard between the vehicle/boat’s neutral and the external AC source’s neutral.
Note: This feature is standard for M3048BP.

Our regular M5000H-48BP doesn’t have this feature, it is optional for volume order at the time of
production.
2.4.15 Lithium Battery Wakeup

Lithium-ion battery will enter sleep mode when it is overdischarged. When the protection circuit is triggered,
the voltage could drop to 0Vdc.
Such batteries are assumed to be useless for most inverters which require a minimal DC voltage to be
powered on.
It makes it possible for a charger to charge ordinarily.
26
www.sigineer.com
The M3048BP and M5000H-48BP inverters will use solar or AC input power to wake up overdischarged
lithium battery by a boost circuitry.
When they detect a 0V battery, the charger will output a small current of 48Vdc voltage to awaken the
lithium batteries.
Once the lithium battery voltage is charged back to normal (over 48Vdc), the charger will proceed with the
charging settings of program 19 and 20.
2.4.16 Other Features

Conformal Coating
The entire line of M series inverters have been processed with a conformal coating on the PCB, making it
water, rust, and dust resistant.
While these units are designed to withstand corrosion from the salty air, they are not splash proof.

WARNING! Be sure that all inverters will share the same battery bank. Otherwise, the inverters will
transfer to fault mode.
Please follow the above minimum wire size requirement.

One cable is always best, but if there is a problem obtaining for example 100mm²cable, use 2*50mm²or
3*35mm²instead, as long as the square area adds up. Performance of any product can be improved by
thicker cable and shorter runs, so if in doubt round up and keep the length as short as possible.
Battery cables must have crimped (or preferably, soldered and crimped) copper compression lugs unless
aluminum mechanical lugs are used. Soldered connections alone are not acceptable. High quality, UL-listed
battery cables are available .These cables are color-coded with pressure crimped, sealed ring terminals.
Battery terminal must be clean to reduce the resistance between the DC terminal and cable connection. A
buildup of dirt or oxidation may eventually lead to the cable terminal overheating during periods of high
current draw. Use a stiff wire brush and remove all dirt and corrosion from the battery terminals and cables.
Note: for lead acid battery, the recommended charge current is 0.2C(C-battery capacity)

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
(-).
Reducing RF interference
To reduce the effect of radiated interference, twist the DC cables. To further reduce RF interference, shield
the cables with sheathing /copper foil / braiding.
Taping battery cables together to reduce inductance
Do not keep the battery cables far apart. In case it is not convenient to twist the cables, keep them taped
together to reduce their inductance. Reduced inductance of the battery cables helps to reduce induced
voltages. This reduces ripple in the battery cables and improves performance and efficiency.
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.
Over torqueing may cause the bolt to break.

Wiring Instruction for M5000H 230V Single Phase inverter in 120/240 split phase system
Sigineer Power’s M5000H-48BP 230V single phase inverter is an international model which can be used in
120/240V Split phase systems in America and also 230Vac single phase systems.
Users from 120/240Vac 60Hz split phase phase electricity system( 120VL+120V L+ N+G) must strictly
follow our wiring instructions, or damage to inverter will occur.
32
www.sigineer.com
1 Connect Ground wire to Ground terminal.

2 Connect AC input Hot1 to Input Hot.
3 Connect AC input Hot2 to Input Neutral.
4 Connect Output Hot to AC output Hot1.
5 Connect output Neutral to AC output Hot2.
6 DON’T CONNECT AC INPUT NEUTRAL or load neutral to the inverter.
NOTE: The M5000H-48BP can work with Sigineer Power transformer to split the 240Vac into 120/240Vac
voltages.
CAUTION: Important
Be sure to connect AC wires with correct polarity. If L and N wires are reverseed, 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.
Preventing Paralleling of the AC Output

The AC output of the unit should never be connected to the utility power / generator.
Such a connection may result in parallel operation of the different power sources and AC power from the
utility / generator will be fed back into the unit which will instantly damage the inverter and may also pose a
fire and safety hazard.
3.6 Communication With Lithium Batteries

The BMS port allows the M series inverters to communicate with lithium batteries BMS with the same
protocol. Our M series inverters support a growing number of lithium batteries from the big brands.

Note:
When multiple inverters are paralleled with multiple lithium batteries, please follow the below setup.
1 Out of the lithium batteries, set one unit as the master and the rest as slave as per the lithium DIP/ADS
switches.
2 Connect the master battery to the inverter which shows “Host”.
If the user connects the master battery to one of the rest the slave inverters in the group, the inverter can
automatically work as the master unit, but the communication will be slower.
3.7 Inverter Parallel Operation
TheM5000H-48BP inverters can be stacked up to 6 pcs to expand output power in 230Vac or create
230/400Vac three phase.
The M3048BP can be stacked up to 6 pcs to expand output power in 120Vac or create 120/208Vac three
phase.
When they are stacked, all the inverters will share the loads evenly. Each will be ready output full power
even the load is under nominal power, none of them will go into power saver mode.
This is designed to handle sudden loads fluctuations.
Note:
When there is more than one inverter paralleled in one phase, if the slave unit shut off, the rest inverters in
the system will continue operate.
If the master unit shuts off, all the rest inverters will shut off.
