    For the inverter/charger of different power, the current setting range is not the same; see Technical Parameters for details.

NOTE
15/16:Stop/restore the auxiliary module charging voltage Only when the charging mode is Solar priority or Utility priority will the auxiliary module charging voltage be effective.

Power saving mode
When the switch is on the “Saving” side, the inverter will enter into the Saving Mode. It will shut off the output if the load value is less the 70W. Then restart and detect the power of the load again after 10s. If the load is more than 70W, the inverter will turn on the output. Otherwise, it will shut off output. It cycles like this. So please don’t use the saving mode if the load is smaller than 70W.

Clear the faults
In a short circuit or overload caused to AC output, the fault can be cleared out.

Other function

Output voltage & frequency switch

EPEVER-UP1000-UP1500-Inverter-Charger-FIG-40

  • When Switch 1 is in “ON,” the output voltage is selected as 230VAC, and on the contrary as 220VAC;
  • When Switch 2 is in “ON,” the output frequency is selected as 60Hz, and on the contrary, like 50Hz.
    If the output frequency or voltage of the inverter/charger is to be reset; it is required to turn off the inverter/charger and power on the unit after setting.

Dry contact interface

Working principle: When the battery voltage reaches the dry contact ON voltage (DON), the dry contact is connected, for its coil is energized. The dry contact can drive resistive loads of no more than 125VAC /1A, 30VDC/1A.

Remote interface
Remote interface input voltage (3.3~12V)

  1. The input voltage Vi is within 2.5~ 10s, and the AC output state is reversed (when the AC is formerly in the output state, now it is in the no-output state; when the AC is formerly in the no-output state, now it is in output state;)
  2. The input voltage Vi is greater than 10s; the AC is in the output state all the time till the input voltage Vi disappears.

If it is to change the range of input voltage, it can be realized by changing R’s resistance value.

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 by serious polarization, 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 damage, high temperature, or burnt/discolored signs. Then, tighten the 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.

WARNING: Risk of electric shock! Ensure that all the power is turned off before the above operations, and then follow the corresponding inspections and operations.
