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.
4
Install the unit by screwing three 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.
Stripping Length:

WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.
CAUTION!! Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal Otherwise,
overheating may occur.
CAUTION!! Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are
connected tightly.
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.
CAUTION!! There are two terminal blocks with “IN” and “OUT” markings. Please do NOT mis-connect input
and output connectors.
6
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 L and neutral conductor N 3
mm.
3. Insert AC input wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten the terminal
screws. Be sure to connect PE protective conductor ( ) first.
→Ground (yellow-green) L→LINE (brown or black) N→Neutral (blue)
WARNING:
Be sure that AC power source is disconnected before attempting to hardwire it to the unit.
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.
→Ground (yellow-green)
L→LINE (brown or black)
N→Neutral (blue)
Note:Important
When the inverter is working in battery mode or standby mode, neutral of output is connected to
grounding of AC output.
When the inverter is working in AC mode, neutral of output is disconnected to grounding of AC
output and connected to neural of AC input.
CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner 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 trig overload fault and cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes it still causes
internal damage to the air conditioner.
7
PV Connection
CAUTION: Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit breaker between inverter
and PV modules.
PV Module Selection:
When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters:
1. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules not exceeds max. PV array open circuit voltage of inverter.
2. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules should be higher than min. battery voltage.

BATTERY EQUALIZATION
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.
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.
30
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.
31
SETTING FOR LITHIUM BATTERY
Lithium Battery Connection
If choosing lithium battery for the inverter, you are allowed to use the lithium battery only which we have
configured. There’re two connectors on the lithium battery, RS485 port of BMS and power cable.
Please follow below steps to implement lithium battery connection:
1). Assemble battery terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size (same as Lead acid,
see section Lead-acid Battery connection for details).
2). Connect the end of RS485 port of battery to BMS(RS485) communication port of inverter.

Parallel Installation Guide
1. Instruction
This inverter can be used in parallel with two different operation modes.
1. Parallel operation in single phase with up to 12 units. The supported maximum output power
is 67.2KW/67.2KVA.
2. Maximum 12 units work together to support three-phase equipment. 10 units support one
phase maximum. The supported maximum output power is 67.2KW/67.2KVA and one phase
can be up to 56KW/56KVA.
NOTE: If this unit is bundled with share current cable and parallel cable, this inverter is default
supported parallel operation.
2. Package Contents
In parallel kit, you will find the following items in the package:
NOTE: 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. Be sure to install each unit in the same level.
41
4. Wiring Connection
NOTICE: It’s requested to connect to battery for parallel operation.
The cable size of each inverter is shown as below:
Recommended battery cable and terminal size for each inverter:
Stripping Length:
Cable Dimensions Torque
Model Wire Size mm2 L1 (mm) L2 (mm) value
5.6KVA 2AWG 38 3 18 2~ 3 Nm
WARNING: Be sure the length of all battery cables is the same. Otherwise, there will be voltage
difference between inverter and battery to cause parallel inverters not working.
You need to connect the cables of each inverter together. Take the battery cables for example: You
need to use a connector or bus-bar as a joint to connect the battery cables together, and then
connect to the battery terminal. The cable size used from joint to battery should be X times cable size
in the tables above. “X” indicates the number of inverters connected in parallel.
Regarding AC input and output, please also follow the same principle.
CAUTION!! Please install the breaker at the battery and AC input side. This will ensure the inverter
can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of battery or
AC input. The recommended mounted location of the breakers is shown in the figures in Point 5.

Note1: Also, you can use 40A breaker (50A for 5.6KVA) for only 1 unit, and each inverter has a breaker
at its AC input.
WARNING! Be sure that all inverters will share the same battery bank. Otherwise, the inverters will
transfer to fault mode.
2) Use RJ45 cable to connect any one of inverters (no need to connect to a specific inverter) and
Lithium battery.
Simply set this inverter battery type to “Li 2” in LCD program 5. Others should be default value “AGM”.
Note: Make sure only one inverter is connected RJ45 cable and only the one is set as Lithium in LCD
