Important Safety Warning (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

Before using the inverter, please read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit,
this manual and the batteries.

General Precaution

Convention Used:
WARNINGS! Warnings identify conditions or practices that could result in personal injury;
CAUTIONS! Cautions identify conditions or practices that could result in damaged to the unit or other equipment connected

CAUTIONS!

The unit is designed for indoor use. Do not expose this unit to rain, snow or liquids
of any type
CAUTIONS! To reduce risk of injury, only use qualified batteries from qualified distributors or manufacturers. Any unqualified batteries may cause damage and injury. Do NOT use old or
overdue batteries. Please check the battery type and date code before installation to avoid damage and injury
WARNINGS! It’s very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate external battery cable. To reduce risk of injury, external battery cables should be UL certified and rated for 105° C or higher. And do not use copper cables less than below cable
recommendation. Below is the external battery cable reference according to system requirements

Table 1 : Minimum Recommended Battery Cable Size Versus Length

Table 2 : External Battery Cable Size Reference

CAUTIONS! Do not disassemble the inverter. Contact with the qualified service center when service or repair is required.
WARNINGS! Provide ventilation to outdoors from the battery compartment. The battery enclosure should be designed to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas at the top of the compartment.

Important Safety Warning (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

CAUTIONS! Use insulated tools to reduce the chance of short-circuit when installing or working with the inverter, the batteries, or other equipment attached to this unit.
CAUTIONS! For battery installation and maintenance, read the battery manufacturer’s installation and maintenance instructions prior to operating.

Personnel Precaution

CAUTIONS! Do not drop any metal tool on the batteries. It could spark or short circuit the batteries and could cause an explosion.
CAUTIONS! Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries. Batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to make metal melt, and could cause severe burns.
CAUTIONS! Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
CAUTIONS! NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery.
CAUTIONS! If a remote or automatic generator start system is used, disable the automatic starting circuit or disconnect the generator to prevent accident during servicing.

Specifications

Installation

Note:
Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. Connect to Utility and Charge
Plug in the AC input cord to the wall outlet. The unit will automatically charge the connected external battery even though the unit is off

Connect External Battery
Step 1: Take away the cover of external battery terminal
Step 2: Following battery polarity guide printed near the battery terminal! Place the external battery cable ring terminal over the battery terminal. RED cable to the positive terminal(+);
BLACK cable to the negative terminal(-).
WARNINGS! Please use the appropriate battery cable. Please refer to Important Safety
Warning Section for the details
Step 3: Tight the battery cables with the MS nuts. Do NOT place anything between the flat part of battery terminal and the battery cable ring terminal, or overheating may occur. (See Fig.1)

Step 4: Install a DC Breaker (recommended) in a positive battery line. The rating of the DC
Breaker must be according to the inverter’s battery current (75 Amp). Keep the DC breaker off. (see Fig. 2)
Step 5: Connect battery cables to the external batteries.
Section for the details
Note:
For the user operation safety, strongly recommend that should use tapes to isolate the battery terminals before you start to operate the unit

Single battery connection (Refer to Fig. 2): When using a single battery, its voltage must be equal to the Nominal DC Voltage of the unit (see below Table 1)

2 Multiple batteries in series connection (Refer to Fig 3. ): All batteries must be equal in voltage and amp hour capacity. The sum of their voltages must be equal to the nominal
DC voltage of the unit

3. Multiple batteries in parallel connection(Refer to Fig. 4): Each battery’s voltage must be equal to the Nominal DC Voltage of the unit

Step 6: Make sure to connect the polarity of battery side and the unit correctly Positive pole (Red) of battery to the positive terminal ( +) of the unit
Negative pole (Black) of battery to the negative terminal(-) of the unit
Step 7: Put the covers back to the external battery terminals
Step 8: Take the DC breaker on

Mounting The Unit

Turn off the unit before mounting
Select an appropriate mounting location. Use a horizontal line and the length of the line must be 222 mm and mark the two ends on the wall. (see chart 1)
Drill two marks by screws
Mount the unit by positioning the key-hole slots over the mounting screws. (see chart 2)

Operations

Power ON/Off
Once the inverter has been properly installed, press the power switch to turn on the unit.
The unit will work automatically in line mode or inverter mode according to input utility power’s status. When press the power switch again, the unit will be turned off.

LED Indicators & Audible Alarms

There are three indicators (Green/Red/Yellow) in the front panel of the unit.

LED Display & Audible Alarm

Load level indicator:

Battery capacity indicator: Display

Operation Mode Selector

a). “UPS”: setting for conventional electrical appliance.
If you select this mode, the unit’s input utility range will be 170–280VAC as normal home UPS. If the utility is higher or lower than this range, the unit will transfer to inverter mode automatically. And you can connect the computer systems or other precision home equipment when you select this operation mode
b). “INV.”: setting for energy saving
If you select this mode, the unit’s input utility range will be extended to 90-280VAC.
If the utility is higher or lower than this range, the unit will transfer to inverter mode automatically. So, you can connect the home equipment, such as light bulb,
fluorescent tube, fan, or Non this mode
CAUTIONS!! If you select the “INV.” mode and connect the computer to the output of the unit, the computer may reboot if the input voltage is too low to be accepted
