2. Please do not disassemble or attempt to repair Phocos products. This unit
does not contain user serviceable parts. Damage to the warranty seal will lead
to a loss of warranty of the product and can lead to injury.
3. To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wirings before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning. Switching off the unit is not sufficient, turn
off and / or disconnect all connections to the unit.
4. For safe operation of this unit, please adhere to appropriate cable size
requirements in this manual. 5. Be very cautious when working with uninsulated
metal tools on or around batteries. They can short-circuit
batteries or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion and / or
injury. 6. Strictly follow the installation procedure when connecting or
disconnecting AC or DC terminals. Please refer to
the “Installation”section of this manual for details. 7. Appropriate fuses or
breakers are required near the battery supply and AC input and AC output of
this unit. 8. WARNING: It is highly recommended and legally required in many
countries to install a Type B residual current
device (RCD) between the AC output of the unit(s) and the AC loads to protect
humans from hazardous electric shock due to faulty AC wiring, faulty loads or
a potential inverter fault. Only in Off-Grid mode, the neutral (N) and ground
(PE) of the AC output are automatically bridged inside the AnyGrid to ensure
the RCD’s functioning if the AC installation is wired correctly as a TN-S or
TN-C-S earthing system. In a TN-C-S installation the bridge between neutral
(N) and ground (PE) must be between the public grid and AC input of the Any-
Grid to ensure that there is never more than one bridge between N and PE. 9.
Never allow any AC or DC connections to be short-circuited. Do not connect to
the mains when the battery input is short-circuited. 10.Only qualified service
persons may service this device. If errors persist after following the
“Troubleshooting” section in this manual, please send this unit back to a
local Phocos dealer or service center for maintenance. 11.WARNING: Because
this inverter (AC output) is not isolated from the PV input, only solar panels
are acceptable for use which do not require positive or negative grounding as
grounding the positive or negative PV cables is not allowed. To avoid any
malfunction, do not connect any PV modules with possible current leakage to
the inverter. For example, positive- or negative-grounded PV modules will
cause current leakage to the inverter. Grounding of the PV module frame is
permitted and frequently required by local law. The battery is galvanically
isolated from the inverter and PV input, therefore the battery positive or
negative terminal may be grounded if required. 12.CAUTION: When using more
than one Any-Grid, ensure that each Any-Grid is connected only to its own PV
array. There may be no electrical contact between units’PV arrays, or the Any-
Grids will be damaged. 13.CAUTION: It is highly recommended to use a surge
arrester, also named surge protective device (SPD) near the PV input terminals
of this unit. This is to prevent damage to the unit from lightning,
thunderstorms, or other voltage surges on the PV cables. The max. DC operating
voltage of the SPD must be between 450 and 480 Vdc for 230Vac models (500 to
550Vdc for PSW-H-8KW-230/48V). For example, the Citel DS240-350DC or Phoenix
Contact VALSEC-T2-2+0-380DC-FM is suitable (Citel DDC50-21Y-500 for
PSW-H-8KW-230/48V). For 120 Vac models the max. DC operating voltage must be
between 250 to 280 Vdc, so for example the Citel DS240-220DC or Phoenix
Contact VAL-SEC-T2-2+0-220DC-FM is suitable. 14.CAUTION: It is highly
recommended to use a surge arrester, also named surge protective device (SPD)
near the AC input terminals of this unit, if the AC input is used. This is to
prevent damage to the unit from lightning, thunderstorms or other voltage
surges on the AC input conductors (for example coming from the public grid).
The max. AC operating voltage of the SPD must be between 275 and 300 Vac for
230 Vac models. For example, the Citel DS41S-230 or Phoenix ContactVAL-MS 230
(for most public grids or generators, higher protection) or Citel DS41S-320
(for public grids with large voltage swings, lower protection) are suitable.
For 120 Vac models the SPD must have a max. AC operating voltage between 140
and 150 Vac. For example, the Citel DS41S-120 or Phoenix ContactVAL-
SEC-T2-1S-175-FM is suitable.

Overview
4.1 Functional Overview
This pure sine wave hybrid inverter charger with solar charge controller
(MPPT) can provide power to connected loads by utilizing PV power, AC power
and battery power. Most connections are optional, but there must be at least
one power source (AC or PV):
PV Panels (optional)
AC Loads
Public Grid (optional)*
Battery (optional)
Phocos Any-GridTM
Removable Display
Hybrid Inverter Charger
(up to 9 units parallel, split-phase
or 3-phase)
AC Generator (optional) Any-GridTM accepts one AC input
Fig.1: System Overview
This unit has one each of the following power connections: battery, PV, AC
input, AC output. The unit is designed to provide continuous power from PV /
battery or an AC source, depending on the set priority. Independently, the
priority for charging the battery can be set (the battery can only be charged
from AC when the unit is not working in Off-Grid mode). The switching time
between Grid (also valid when an AC generator is used) and Off-Grid modes is
only 10 milliseconds (typical) when a single Any-Grid unit is used. Timers can
be used to change the priorities based on hourly time slots; this is useful
for areas where grid power has differing costs throughout the day.The
integrated maximum power point tracking (MPPT) solar charge controller can
handle particularly high PV voltages, allowing for a simpler installation and
lower costs than most Off-Grid solar charge controllers. Typically, no
combiner boxes or string fuses / diodes are required. The pure sine wave AC
output and the surge power capability (twice the continuous power rating)
assure all types of AC loads can be powered. Ensure that the peak power
requirement of the loads is below the surge power capability of this inverter.
Two special functions allow even more flexibility: Battery-Free mode and Grid
Injection. In Battery-Free mode, no battery is connected to the unit and an AC
source must be present.The unit will then provide as much power from PV as is
available to supply loads, adding any missing power from the AC source. If
there is more PV power available than can be utilized by the loads, then the
PV power is reduced to ensure no power feedin into the grid. The Grid
Injection functionality allows feeding any excess power into the grid. If
there is excess PV power beyond what is utilized by the load and for battery
charging, this power can be fed into the public grid to take advantage of net
metering or feed-in tariffs. In this way all the PV power can be used even if
the battery is full, and the loads do not require all the available PV power.
Feeding into the grid may be prohibited in some areas so this function is
locked by a PIN code to avoid accidental grid injection.

Steps to connect the PV module array:
1. PSW-H-5KW-120/48V, PSW-H-6.5KW-120/48V and PSW-H-8KW-230/48V: if the PV
array has MC4 connectors, do not remove them. If the array has different
connectors, cut them off and remove 8 mm / 0.3 in of insulation from the
positive and negative PV cables.
All other models: remove 10 mm / 0.4 in of insulation from the positive and
negative PV cables.
2. PSW-H-5KW-120/48V, PSW-H-6.5KW-120/48V and PSW-H-8KW-230/48V: use an MC4
crimping tool to crimp the included MC4 connectors to the PV array (see
Fig.9.1, top) if the array does not already have compatible MC4 connectors.
Only use the included MC4 connectors if the PV cable has the cross-section
outlined in the first table of this chapter. Double-check polarity. Then
insert the finished MC4 connectors into the PV1 and PV2 connectors on the
inverter, positive (+) on the left and negative (-) on the right (see Fig.9.1,
bottom). CAUTION:Ensure correct polarity before connecting.Failure to do so
will damage the PSW-H.
All other models: insert the two PV wires through the rectangular casing hole
(cable glands for 120 Vac models) marked “PV input”. Insert the positive PV
cable into the “PV+” terminal and the negative PV cable

5.9 Installing Multiple Units in Parallel, Split Phase or 3-Phase
Configuration
Introduction
This entire chapter is only relevant if using more than one Any-Grid unit.
Multiple Any-Grid units of the same model number can be used either in
parallel on a single phase, split-phase / 2-phase (only 120Vac models), or in
a 3phase configuration with a common neutral. All units must be connected to
the same battery bank. This chapter is an addition to all other sections above
in the chapter “Installation”, please adhere to all guidelines and safety
instructions in those sections accordingly. Parallel operation on a single
phase is possible with up to 9 units. Alternatively, 3-phase configuration is
possible, whereby at least one unit must be installed on each of the 3 phases
with a maximum of 7 units on a phase. The total number of units may not exceed
9 in any case. For 120 Vac models split-phase (2-phase) operation is possible
whereby at least one unit must be installed on each of the 2 phases with a
maximum of 8 units on a phase. The total number of units may not exceed 9 in
any case. CAUTION: If using an AC source, each unit must be connected to a
neutral and a phase conductor, never two phases.
Mounting the Units
When installing multiple units, please keep a minimum distance between the
units as shown in Fig.13.
Fig. 13: Minimum distance between units and to other objects
Connections
Use the cable cross-sections, tightening torque and connectors as described
for a single unit. Battery Connection: Make sure to use a separate DC fuse or
circuit breaker for each unit. Instead of connecting each unit to the battery,
connect each positive battery cable to a bus bar, and each negative battery
cable to a second bus bar. These bus bars are then connected to the battery
terminals.The cross-section of the bus bars, and the cables from the bus bars
to the battery terminals should equal the recommended battery cable cross-
section per unit, times the number of units connected to it. The minimum
recommended battery capacity for lead-based batteries is 200 Ah per connected
Any-Grid. For example, in a system with 3 units, the battery bank should have
a capacity of at least 600 Ah.
CAUTION: All invertersmust share the same battery bank. Otherwise,the
inverterswill go into fault mode.
CAUTION:Please install at least a breaker at the battery terminalsand AC input
of every individual Any-Grid unit. This will ensure each unit can be securely
disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over-current of
battery or AC input.Use the breaker ratingsas described in the
chapters”Battery Connection” and “AC Input and AC Output Connection”. AC
Connections: Regarding AC input and output, please also follow the same
principle. Use the wiring cross-section and circuit breaker as defined for
each individual unit, then attach those wires to bus bars. The bus bars from
the AC
www.phocos.com
15 | P a g e
input are then connected to the AC source, the bus bars from the AC output are
connected to the distribution panel and loads. PV Connections: Use the PV
connection as described for individual units. Each unit must be connected to
its own PV array and must not have any electrical contact to any other
units’PV arrays.
CAUTION:Connecting a single PV array to multiple Any-Gridssimultaneously
willdamage the Any-Grid units. If using PV, each unit must be connected to its
own individual PV array, not electrically shared with any other units.
WARNING:Ensure all circuit breakers are open / disabled before wiring the
unitsso that there is no voltage on all battery, AC and PV wires. General
rules for the communications connections (see Fig.2 Parallel Communication
Port and Current Sharing Port):
1. Every unit must have both parallel communication ports occupied. These
ensure phase synchronization and synchronization of parameters between the
units.
2. Current sharing ports must only be occupied for those units where there is
more than one unit on that particular phase. If there is only one unit on a
phase, then current sharing cables must not be used. These current sharing
cables ensure that all units on one phase operate at the same AC power output
level.
3. Every parallel communication or current sharing cable used, must either be
connected directly between two neighboring units, or with a maximum of one
unit between them.
4. Connecting parallel communication cables, assuming units are numbered from
1 to 9 from left to right: a) Connect the left black parallel communication
port of unit 1 to the right port on unit 2. b) Connect the right port of unit
1 to the left port of unit 3. c) Connect the left port of unit 2 to the to the
right port of unit 4. d) Continue connecting the right port of each odd-
numbered unit to the left port of the next oddnumbered unit. Continue
connecting the left port of each even-numbered to the right port of the next
even-numbered unit, until there are only two unoccupied black ports. e)
Connect the unoccupied black port of the last unit to the unoccupied black
port of the second-tolast unit.
5. Connecting current sharing cables just like step 4, assuming units are
numbered from 1 to 9 from left to right on a particular phase (there must be
no connection of current sharing cables between any two phases’ units!): a)
Connect the left green current sharing port of unit 1 to the right port on
unit 2. b) Connect the right port of unit 1 to the left port of unit 3. c)
Connect the left port of unit 2 to the to the right port of unit 4. d)
Continue connecting the right port of each odd-numbered unit to the left port
of the next oddnumbered unit. Continue connecting the left port of each even-
numbered to the right port of the next even-numbered unit, until there are
only two unoccupied green ports on the particular phase. e) Connect the
unoccupied green port of the last unit to the unoccupied green port of the
second-tolast unit. f) Repeat steps 5a to 5e for further phases with more than
one unit.
The following section will show a few examples of how the parallel
communication and current sharing cables are mounted. For better visibility
download this manual in color at www.phocos.com. Once commissioning is
completed, the following settings menus (see chapter “Device Operation
Settings”) are automatically synchronized between all units: 01, 02, 03, 05,
06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 12, 13, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39 and

Utility / AC input first (Default) “USB” for: Utility Solar Battery
AC input / utility will provide power to the loads as first priority. If there is excess solar power beyond what is required for battery charging, this power is used to supply power to the loads instead. The battery is not discharged (Grid mode).
Solar and battery will provide power to the loads when AC input / utility power is unavailable (OffGrid mode).
Solar / PV first “SUB” for: Solar Utility Battery
Solar provides power to the loads as first priority. If solar power is not sufficient to power all connected loads, AC input / utility power will supply the loads simultaneously (Grid mode).

If no solar power is available (ex. at night), AC input / utility power is used exclusively. The battery is only discharged when the AC input / utility power is unavailable (OffGrid mode).
SBU priority “SBU” for: Solar Battery Utility
Solar powers the loads as first priority. If solar power is not sufficient to power all connected loads, the battery will supply power to the loads at the same time. The Any-Grid is disconnected from the grid at this time (Off-Grid mode).
AC input / utility provides power to the loads (Grid mode) only when the battery voltage drops to either low-level warning voltage or the setting point in settings menu 12.
When first applying SBU priority, it may take up to 10 minutes for the Any- Grid to switch to Off-Grid mode.
