Battery Equallzatlon Description
Equalization function is added into 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 33 first.
Then, you may apply this function in device by either one of following methods
- Setting equalization interval in program 34.
- Active equalization immediately in program 39.
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.

LCD Setting and Display
Setting Program
28
| **** AC output mode “This setting is only available when the inverter is in standby mode (Switch on,
later Switch off).
|
| When the units are used in parallel with single phase, please select “PAL” in program 28.
**** It is required to have at least 3 inverters or maximum 6 inverters to support
three-phase equipment. It’s required to have at least one inverter in each phase or it’s up to four inverters in one phase. Please refers to 5-2 for detailed information.
Please select “3Pl” in program 28 for the inverters connected to L1 phase, “3P2” in program 28 for the inverters connected to L2 phase and “3P3” in program 28 for the inverters connected to L3 phase.
**** Be sure to connect share current cable to units which are on the same phase.
Do NOT connect share current cable between units on different phases.
**** Besides, power saving function will be automatically disabled.

Commissioning
Parallel in single phase
-
Step 1 : Check the following requirements before commissioning
- Correct wire connection
- Ensure all breakers in Line wires of load side are open and each Neutral wires of each unit are connected together.
-
Step 2 : Turn on each unit and set “PAL” in LCD setting program 28 of each unit. And then shut down all units.
- NOET: It’s necessary to turn off switch when setting LCD program. Otherwise, the setting can not be programmed.
-
Step : 3T urn on each unit.
- NOTE: Master and slave units are randomly defined.
-
Step 4 : Switch on all AC breakers of Line wires in AC input. It’s better to have all inverters connect to utility at the same time. If not, it will display fault 82 in following-order inverters. However, these inverters will
aut omatically restart. If detectina AC connection, they will work normally. -
Step 5 : If there is no more fault alarm, the parallel system is completely installed.
-
Step 6 : Please switch on all breakers of Line wires in load side. This system will start to provide power to the load.
Support three-phase equipment
-
Step 1 : Check the following requirements before commissioning
- Correct wire connection
- Ensure all breakers in Line wires of load side are open and each Neutral wires of each unit are connected together.
-
Step 2 : Turn on all units and configure LCD program 28 as Pl, P2 and P3 sequentially. And then shut down all units.
- NOET : It’s necessary to turn off switch when setting LCD program. Otherwise, the setting can not be programmed.
-
Step 3 : Turn on all units se uentiall .
-
Step 4 : Switch on all AC breakers of Line wires in AC input. If AC connection is detected and three phases are
matched with unit setting, they will work normally. Otherwise, the AC icon ?· will flash and they will not work in line mode -
Step 5 : If there is no more fault alarm, the system to support 3-phase equipment is completely installed.
-
Step 6 : Please switch on all breakers of Line wires in load side. This system will start to provide power to the load.
- Note 1 : To avoid overload occurring, before turning on breakers in load side, it’s better to have whole system in operation first.
- Note 2 : Transfer time for this operation exists. Power interruption may happen to critical devices, which cannot bear transfer time.
