INSTALLATION

Unpacking and Inspection
Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. You should have received the following items inside of package:

• The unit x 1
• User manual x 1
• Communication cable x 1

Preparation
Before connecting all wirings, please take off bottom cover by removing two screws as shown below.

Mounting the Unit

Consider the following points before selecting where to install:

• Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
• Mount on a solid surface
• Install this inverter at eye level in order to allow the LCD display to be read at all times.
• For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance of approx. 20 cm to the side and approx. 50 cm above and below the unit.
• The ambient temperature should be between O’C and 55’C to ensure optimal operation.
• The recommended installation position is to have adhered to the wall vertically.
• Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the diagram to guarantee sufficient heat dissipation and to have enough space for removing wires.

Install the unit by screwing two screws. It’s recommended to use M4 or M5 screws.

Battery Connection

CAUTION:
For safety operation and regulation compliance, it’s requested to install a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect device between battery and inverter. It may not be requested to have a disconnect device in some applications, however, it’s still requested to have over-current protection installed. Please refer to typical amperage in below table as required fuse or breaker size.

WARNING!
All wiring must be performed by qualified personnel.

WARNING!
It’s very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for battery connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable as below. Recommended battery cable size:

Please follow below steps to implement battery connection:

1. Remove insulation sleeve 18 mm for positive and negative conductors.
2. Suggest to put bootlace ferrules on the end of positive and negative wires with a proper crimping tool.
3. Insert the battery wires flatly into battery connectors of inverter and make sure the bolts are tightened with torque of 2 Nm in clockwise direction. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the inverter/charge is correctly connected and conductors are tightly screwed into the battery terminals. Recommended tool: #2 Pozi Screwdriver

WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.

CAUTION!!
Before making the final DC connection or closing DC breaker/ disconnector, be sure positive(+) must be connected to positive(+) and negative (-) must be connected to negative(-).

AC Input/Output Connection

CAUTION
Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and AC input power source. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input. The recommended spec of AC breaker is 50A for 5.5KW.

CAUTION!! There
are two terminal blocks with “IN” and “OUT” markings. Please do NOT misconnect input and output connectors.

WARNING!
All wiring must be performed by qualified personnel.

WARNING!
It’s very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for AC input connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below.

Suggested cable requirement for AC wires

Please follow below steps to implement AC input/output connection:

1. Before making AC input/output connection, be sure to open DC protector or disconnector first.
2. Remove insulation sleeve 10mm for six conductors. And shorten phase Land neutral conductor N 3 mm.
3. For 5.5KW models, insert AC input wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten the terminal screws. Be sure to connect PE protective conductor first.
4. Then, insert AC output wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten terminal screws. Be sure to connect PE protective conductor first.
5. Make sure the wires are securely connected.

CAUTION:
Appliances such as air conditioners are required at least 2~3 minutes to restart because it’s required to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits. If a power shortage occurs and recovers in a short time, it will cause damage to your connected appliances. To prevent this kind of damage, please check manufacturer of air conditioner if it’s equipped with time-delay function before installation. Otherwise, this inverter/charger will trigger overload fault and cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes it still causes internal damage to the air conditioner.

PV Connection

CAUTION:
Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit breaker between inverter and PV modules.

WARNING!
It’s very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for PV module connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below.

PV Module Selection:
When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters:

1. Open circuit Voltage (Voe) of PV modules does not exceed max. PV array open circuit voltage of inverter.
2. Open circuit Voltage (Voe) of PV modules should be higher than min. battery voltage.

Take 250Wp PV module as an example. After considering above two parameters, the recommended module configurations for 5.5KWare listed as below table.

Final Assembly

After connecting all wirings, please put bottom cover back by screwing two screws as shown below.

Communication Connection

Please use supplied communication cable to connect to inverter and PC. Insert bundled CD into a computer and follow on-screen instructions to install the monitoring software. For the detailed software operation, please check user manual of software inside of CD.

1. CAUTION: It is forbidden for inverters to share the same solar panel group.

2. Connecting the parallel communication line and power cable as shown below
   Warning: All inverters must share the same battery pack when paralleling.

3. Set the parameters of each inverter separately (working mode, single-phase parallel function). Warning: When working in parallel, the working mode of each inverter must be the same working mode, output voltage.frequency.

4. After setting the parameters, tum on each inverter in turn.
   WRINGING: for each group of PV, only one inverter can be connected, otherwise, it may damage inverters.

Two inverters in parallel: Power Connection:

Three-phase parallel:

1. CAUTION: It is forbidden for inverters to share the same solar panel group,

2. Connecting the parallel communication line and power cable as shown below
   Warning: All inverters must share the same battery pack when paralleling

3. Set the parameters of each inverter independently (working mode, single-phase parallel function, three­phase parallel function and set NBIC phase sequence).
   Warning: When working in parallel, the working mode of each inverter must be the same working mode.

4. After setting the parameters, first turn on the A phase inverter and then turn on each inverter in turn. One inverter in each phase:
