Scope
This manual provides safety and installation guidelines as well as information on tools and wiring.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep
this manual for future reference.
1. Before using the unit, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit, the batteries and all
appropriate sections of this manual.
2. CAUTION --To reduce risk of injury, charge only deep-cycle lead acid type rechargeable batteries.
Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
3. Do not disassemble the unit. Take it to a qualified service center when service or repair is required.
Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
4. To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wirings before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off the unit will not reduce this risk.
5. CAUTION –Only qualified personnel can install this device with battery.
6. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
7. For optimum operation of this inverter/charger, please follow required spec to select appropriate cable
size. It’s very important to correctly operate this inverter/charger.
8. Be very cautious when working with metal tools on or around batteries. A potential risk exists to drop
a tool to spark or short circuit batteries or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
9. Please strictly follow installation procedure when you want to disconnect AC or DC terminals. Please
refer to INSTALLATION section of this manual for the details.
10. Fuses are provided as over-current protection for the battery supply.
11. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS -This inverter/charger should be connected to a permanent grounded
wiring system. Be sure to comply with local requirements and regulation to install this inverter.
12. NEVER cause AC output and DC input short circuited. Do NOT connect to the mains when DC input
short circuits.
13. Warning!! Only qualified service persons are able to service this device. If errors still persist after
following troubleshooting table, please send this inverter/charger back to local dealer or service
center for maintenance.
14. WARNING: Because this inverter is non-isolated, only three types of PV modules are acceptable:
single crystalline, poly crystalline with class A-rated and CIGS modules. To avoid any malfunction, do
not connect any PV modules with possible current leakage to the inverter. For example, grounded PV
modules will cause current leakage to the inverter. When using CIGS modules, please be sure NO
grounding.
15. CAUTION: It’s required to use PV junction box with surge protection. Otherwise, it will cause
damage on inverter when lightning occurs on PV modules.

Install the unit by fixing four 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 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.

2. Fix two cable glands into positive and negative terminals.
3. Insert the ring terminal of battery cable flatly into battery connector of inverter and make sure the nuts are
tightened with torque of 5 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.

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.
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.

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. Fix two cable glands into input and output sides.
4. Insert AC input wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten the terminal screws.
Be sure to connect PE protective conductor ( ) first.

6. Make sure the wires are securely connected.
PV Connection
CAUTION: Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately DC circuit breakers between inverter
and PV modules.
NOTE1: Please use 600VDC/30A circuit breaker.
NOTE2: The overvoltage category of the PV input is II.
Please follow the steps below to implement PV module connection:
Step 1: Check the input voltage of PV array modules. This system is applied with two strings of PV array.
Please make sure that the maximum current load of each PV input connector is 18A.
Step 2: Disconnect the circuit breaker and switch off the DC switch.
CAUTION: Important
Be sure to connect AC wires with correct polarity. If L and N wires are connected reversely, it may cause
utility short-circuited when these inverters are worked in parallel operation.
CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner requires 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 be trigger overload fault and cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes
it still causes internal damage to the air conditioner.
CAUTION: Exceeding the maximum input voltage can destroy the unit!! Check the system before wire connection.
WARNING: Because this inverter is non-isolated, only three types of PV modules are acceptable: single
crystalline and poly crystalline with class A-rated and CIGS modules.
To avoid any malfunction, do not connect any PV modules with possible current leakage to the inverter. For
example, grounded PV modules will cause current leakage to the inverter. When using CIGS modules, please
be sure NO grounding.
CAUTION: It’s required to use PV junction box with surge protection. Otherwise, it will cause damage on
inverter when lightning occurs on PV modules.

Step 3: Assemble provided PV connectors with PV modules by the following steps.
Components for PV connectors and Tools:
Female connector housing
Female terminal
Male connector housing
Male terminal
Crimping tool and spanner
Prepare the cable and follow the connector assembly process:
Insert striped cable into female terminal and crimp female terminal as shown below.
Insert assembled cable into female connector housing as shown below.
Insert striped cable into male terminal and crimp male terminal as shown below.
Insert assembled cable into male connector housing as shown below.
Then, use spanner to screw pressure dome tightly to female connector and male connector as shown below.
Step 4: 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.
WARNING! For safety and efficiency, it's very important to use appropriate cables for PV module connection.
Strip one cable 8 mm on both end sides and be careful NOT to nick conductors.
