Work Mode explanation:

1. Limit function mode(Economic mode)
   (Using peak cutting and valley filling to save money)
   According to the time coordinate, in the time period from “xx mains charge start time” to “ xx mains charge end time”, manis will charge the battery pack until the battery voltage reaches to “ mains charge target voltage”. This time period should be in low electric price time.
   From”xx battery discharge start time” to “ xx battery discharge end time”, the inverter will feed power to home load and the load connected to the AC output, the limit function should be available in this time period to limit the feed power never higher than total home load(after C T), to keep “Zero export”. This time period should be in high electric price time.
   The M P P T solar charger will work all time when the solar energy is available, in the
   “Solar power available period”, the solar energy will charge the battery pack in “mains charge“ period and will feed power to home grid in “the battery discharge” period. If the battery voltage is higher than the “ main charge target voltage”, then the solar energy will feed power to home grid arbitrarily, but the limit function will still be available. If the solar power is higher than the home load, the extra solar power will charge the battery pack too.

   • About the voltage of the battery pack:
   • Section “1”, “5” : Mains charge section. In these sections, the battery pack voltage will increase until reaches to “mains charge target voltage”.
   • Section “10”, Mains charge section. If the battery voltage is lower than the “battery discharge target voltage” after U P S function, it will be charged to “battey discharge target voltage” arbitrily. Section “2”, “4”, “8” and “11” : Keeping voltage section.
   • Section “6”: Solar energy feeds power to home grid and charges the battery pack. Section “3” and “7”: “battery discharge” section. In these sections, the battery pack voltage will decrease until reaches to “battery discharge target voltage”.
   • Section “9”: U P S function enabled section.
     The battery pack volume from “battery discharge target voltage” to “Low protect voltage” is for essential loads like Computers, or refrigerators that the AC power can’t be interrupted when the home grid is not available. If you have no essential loads, then you can set the “battery discharge target voltage” near to “Low protect voltage” to get more usable battery volume for charge and discharge. If you want to keep more battery volume for essential loads when the home grid is not available,you can set the “battery discharge target voltage” much higher. When the home grid is available, the AC output terminal is bypassed and connected to the home grid.

2. NO limit function mode(UPS mode)
   In this work mode, the inverter can only be discharged via AC output, and can’t feed the home grid, Under UPS, the inverter is only capable of powering essential loads that are connected with the AC output terminal.
   According to the time coordinate, in the time period from “xx mains charge start time” to “xx mains charge end time”, the home gird will charge the battery pack until the battery pack is fully charged, you also can set the 2nd mains charge time period, if you want to save electric charge money, the time periods should be in low electric price time.
   The MPPT solar charger will work all time when the solar energy is available, in the “Solar power available period”, the solar energy will charge the battery pack, If the battery pack is full, then the solar energy will power the essential loads connected with AC output terminal.

   • About the voltage of the battery pack:
   • Section “1”: Mains charge section.
   • Section “2” and “7”: keeping voltage section.
   • Section “3” and “6”: The battery pack is charged by solar energy.
   • Section “4”: Extrasolar energy powers the essential loads.
   • Section “5”: UPS function enabled section, the essential loads are powered by AC output.
     When the home gird is available, the AC output terminal is bypassed and connected to the home grid.
