Installation Guide

Unpack and verify all components. Choose a dry, well-ventilated location.

  1. Mount the inverter: Use provided brackets to secure on a stable surface.
  2. Connect battery: Attach cables to battery terminals (positive to positive, negative to negative).
  3. Connect solar panels: Use MC4 connectors to solar input terminals.
  4. Connect AC loads: Plug devices into AC output sockets.
  5. Ground the system: Connect grounding wire to grounding terminal.

WARNING! Ensure all connections are tight and correct polarity is observed to prevent damage.

First-Time Setup

Power on the inverter; follow initialization sequence.

  1. Check battery voltage: Ensure battery is within 10.5V to 15V range.
  2. Set system parameters: Use buttons to configure battery type, charging current, and output voltage.
  3. Enable solar charging: Connect solar panels and verify charging indication on LCD.
  4. Test AC output: Connect a small load to verify proper operation.
  5. Configure preferences: Set low voltage cutoff, alarm thresholds, and eco mode.

CAUTION! Do not connect AC input while battery is connected. Follow sequence precisely.

Technical Specifications

Controls and Indicators

Front Panel: POWER button, LCD display, Mode selection button, Navigation buttons.

LCD Display Indicators: Battery voltage, Solar input voltage, Load percentage, Fault warnings, Charging status.

Settings Menu: Battery type (GEL, AGM, Flooded), Charging voltage, Low voltage disconnect, Output priority (Solar/Battery/Grid), Alarm settings. Operation Modes: Solar first, Battery mode, Grid mode, Eco mode.

Connecting Power Sources

Battery: 12V DC input. Solar: 40W max input. AC: 110V output.

  1. Turn off all power sources before making connections.
  2. Connect battery first, then solar panels, then AC loads.
  3. Use appropriate cable gauges (minimum 10 AWG for battery).
  4. Verify polarity before powering on.

Tip: Install fuse (20A recommended) between battery and inverter for added protection.

Operation Modes

Supports multiple operation modes for optimal efficiency.

  1. Solar Priority Mode: Uses solar power first, battery as backup.
  2. Battery Mode: Operates solely from battery power.
  3. Grid Mode: (If equipped) Uses grid power when available.
  4. Eco Mode: Reduces standby power consumption.
  5. Charging Mode: Charges battery from solar or grid.
  6. Load Management: Automatically adjusts output based on load demand.

WARNING! Do not exceed rated power capacity. Monitor battery voltage regularly.

Safety Features

Overload Protection: Automatically shuts down if load exceeds 120%. Short Circuit Protection: Immediate shutdown on short circuit. Over-temperature Protection: Reduces output or shuts down at 65°C. Reverse Polarity Protection: Prevents damage from incorrect battery connection. Low Voltage Disconnect: Protects battery from deep discharge.

Care & Maintenance

Keep unit clean and dry. Check connections periodically for corrosion. Ensure adequate ventilation.

CAUTION! Disconnect all power sources before cleaning. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.
