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
 USB Communication cable x 1
 Software CD 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 -20°C and
55°C to ensure optimal operation.
 The recommended installation position is to be 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.

SUITABLE FOR MOUNTING ON CONCRETE OR OTHER NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE ONLY.

Install the unit by screwing three 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.
Ring terminal:

WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a 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 and terminal size as below.

Recommended battery cable and terminal size:

Cable Size Ring Terminal

Typical Battery Torque
Model Dimensions
Amperage capacity AWG mm2 value
D (mm) L (mm)
1.5KVA 12V 100AH 1 x 4AWG 22 6.4 33.2
100A
3KVA 24V 200AH 2 x 8AWG 14 6.4 29.2
2~ 3 Nm
1.5KVA 48V 25A 100AH 1 x 12AWG 4 6.4 22.5
3KVA 48V 50A 100AH 1 x 8AWG 8 6.4 23.8

Please follow below steps to implement battery connection:

1. Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size.
2. Connect all battery packs as the unit is required. It’s suggested to connect at least 100Ah capacity battery
to the unit.
NOTE: Please only use sealed lead acid battery or sealed GEL/AGM lead-acid battery.

3. Insert the ring terminal of battery cable flatly into battery connector of inverter and make sure the bolts are
tightened with torque of 2-3 Nm. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the inverter/charge is correctly
connected and ring terminals are tightly screwed to the battery terminals.

5
 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 and the ring
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 20A
for 1.5KVA and 30A for 3KVA.
CAUTION!! There are two terminal blocks with “IN” and “OUT” markings. Please do NOT mis-connect input
and output connectors.

WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a 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
Cable size
Model Torque Value
AWG mm2
1.5KVA 16 AWG 1.5 0.5~ 0.6 Nm
3KVA 12 AWG 4 1.2~ 1.6 Nm

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)

6
 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)

5. Insert AC input and AC output wires through cable gland and make sure the wires are securely connected.

CAUTION: Important
Be sure to connect AC wires with correct polarity.

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.
NOTE 1: Please use 150VDC/50A circuit breaker.
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel.

PV Module Selection:

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.
Cable Size
Typical Amperage
AWG mm2
40A 10AWG 6

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.
INVERTER MODEL 12Vdc 24Vdc 48Vdc
Max. PV Array Open Circuit Voltage 100Vdc
PV Array MPPT Voltage Range 15~80Vdc 30~80Vdc 60~90Vdc

Please follow below steps to implement PV module connection:

1. Check the input voltage of PV array modules. The maximum acceptable input voltage of the inverter is
100VDC. This system is only applied with two strings of PV array. Please make sure that the maximum
current load of each PV input connector is 40A.

CAUTION: Exceeding the maximum input voltage can destroy the unit!! Check the system before wire
connection.

2. Disconnect the circuit breaker and switch off the DC switch.

3. Check correct polarity of connection cable from PV modules and PV input connectors. Then, connect
positive pole (+) of connection cable to positive pole (+) of PV input connector. Connect negative pole (-) of
connection cable to negative pole (-) of PV input connector.

4. Make sure all PV connectors are firmly connected.

CAUTION: Never directly touch terminals of the inverter. It will cause lethal electric shock.

8
CAUTION: Do NOT touch the inverter to avoid electric shock. When PV modules are exposed to sunlight, it
may generate DC voltage to the inverter.

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 instruction to install the monitoring software. For the detailed software operation, please
check user manual of software inside of CD.
