Export to Grid First - All excess power will be exported to the grid.
UPS Load Priority - The hybrid inverter will only power the loads connected to the load port and will not produce more power than the connected loads require.
This mode by default will export ZERO to the grid unless "Solar Export" is ticked.
Consumption Priority - The hybrid inverter will push power to the whole home load (this mode requires the included CT clamp) see page 13 of the user manual.
This mode by default will export ZERO to the grid unless "Solar Export" is ticked. WƌĞƐƐƚŚĞƚŝĐŬĂƚƚŚĞďŽƚƚŽŵŽĨƚŚĞƐĐƌĞĞŶƚŽƐĂǀĞLJŽƵƌƐĞůĞĐƚŝŽŶ

This screen will allow you to set the parameters for discharging the battery
to the load and also charging the battery from the grid or a generator.
Once you have completed the above step and activated the Lithium battery
you will need to programme the time of use settings, selecting Time Of Use
will allow the battery to be discharged to the load until a user set SOC % is reached during the pre-set 6 time periods. You can also select whether you
want to charge the battery from the Grid or a Generator. For example, on the image to the left we have programmed the time of use to discharge the battery to the load
between 01.00am - 21.00pm until the battery SOC reaches 20% and then for the grid to fully charge the battery between 21.00pm and 01.00am. WƌĞƐƐƚŚĞƚŝĐŬĂƚƚŚĞ

3.3 Battery connection
Chart 3-2 Cable size
For safe operation and compliance, a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect
device is required between the battery and the inverter. In some applications, switching
devices may not be required but over-current protectors are still required. Refer to the
typical amperage in the table below for the required fuse or circuit breaker size.
All wiring must be performed by a professional.
Connecting the battery with a suitable cable is important for safe and
efficient operation of the system. To reduce the risk of injury, refer to
Chart 3-2 for the recommended cable specification.
Please follow the below steps to implement battery connection:
1. Please choose a suitable battery cable with the correct connector which can fit into the
battery terminals.
2. Use a suitable screwdriver to unscrew the bolts and fit the battery connectors, then fasten
the bolt with the screwdriver, making sure the bolts are tightened with a torque of 5.2
N.M in clockwise direction.
3. Make sure the polarity at both the battery and inverter is correctly connected.

3.3.2 Battery temperature connection 3.4 AC Input/Output Connection
·Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC
breaker between the 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 AC breaker is 25A for 3.6kW and
32A for 5kW.
·There are three terminal blocks with "Grid" "Load" and "GEN" markings. Please
do not misconnect the input and output connectors.
1. Before making the AC input/output connection, be sure to open the DC
protector or disconnecter first.
2. Remove 10mm of the insulation sleeve, unscrew the bolts, insert the AC input
cables according to polarities indicated on the terminal block and tighten the
terminal screws. Making sure the connection is complete.
All wiring must be performed by a qualified person. It is very
important for system safety and efficient operation to use the
appropriate cable for AC input connection. To reduce risk of injury,
please use the recommended cable as below.
Please follow below steps to implement AC input/output connection:

3. Then, insert AC output wires according to polarities indicated on the terminal block and
tighten the terminals. Be sure to connect the corresponding N wires and PE wires to
related terminals.
4. Make sure the wires are securely connected.
3.5.1 PV Module Selection:
When selecting PV modules, please be sure to consider the below parameters:
1) Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules doesn't exceed max. PV array open
circuit voltage of inverter.
2) Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules should be higher than min. start voltage.
3.5 PV Connection
Before connecting to PV modules, please install a separate DC circuit breaker between
the inverter and PV modules. It is very important for system safety and efficient
operation to use the appropriate cable for PV module connection. To reduce risk of
injury, please use the recommended cable size as below.
Be sure that the AC power source is disconnected before attempting to wire
it to the unit.
To avoid 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 PV modules, please be
sure there is NO grounding.
It is requested to use a PV junction box with surge protection.
Otherwise, it will damage the inverter when lightning occurs on PV
modules.

Export to Grid First - When the inverter is grid connected
any excess energy will be exported to the grid.
UPS Load Priority - In this mode the inverter will
prioritise the U/EPS load. The output from the system will
attempt to match the U/EPS load using a combination of
the renewable energy generation and battery capacity,
by default this will also export zero to the grid, unless
"Solar Export" is ticked.
Consumption Priority - This mode will deliver the
renewable energy to the battery & building load, based
on the reading the inverter receives from the CT clamp.
By default this will also export zero to the grid, unless
‘Solar Export’ is ticked.
Max Sell Power - The maximum wattage to export back
to the grid at any one time (watts).
Energy Pattern - When a battery is connected the priority
will always be Generation>Battery>Load>Export

Please select the correct Grid Mode in your local area.
Please select the correct Grid Type in your local area,
otherwise the inverter will not work or be damaged.
The parameters in this screen will automatically update
dependent on which Grid Mode you have selected.
Solar Arc Fault ON---This is only for the US.
System self-check ---Disable.
Gen Peak-shaving---Enable when the power of the
generator exceeds its rated value, the inverter will
provide the redundant power to ensure that the
generator doesn't overload.
Grid Peak-shaving---Enable when the power of the
grid exceeds the set value, the inverter will provide
the redundant part to ensure that the grid power
does not exceed the set value.
The Generator port can only be used for one input/output.
It can be used for a generator input OR smart load output
OR micro inverter input.
Generator Input - If connected to a generator.
Gen connected to Grid input - In off-grid applications the
generator can also be connected to the Grid input port.
SmartLoad Output - See 5.12 below
Micro Inv Input - Use the Gen Port as an AC coupled input,
this will also work with "Grid-Tied" Inverters.
Off - Battery SOC to disable the AC coupled input (95-100%)
ON - Battery SOC to enable AC coupled input (50-60%)
AC Coupled priority - LOAD - BATTERY - EXPORT unless MI
export to grid is deselected then the AC coupled input will
turn off once the battery SOC reaches the preset "OFF"
value.

To disable Forced Smart Load please repeat the
above step.
In Advanced settings you can insert the 12

Select if you are using string 1 or 2.
Always use a BPE wind controller to connect

This mode utilises the Gen input connection as a Smart
Load output which only receives power when the
battery SOC and PV/Wind generation is above a user
programmable threshold.
The Gen input port in the user area of the system
becomes an output to high power loads such as a water
heater, irrigation pump, ac unit or any other device.
On Grid always on: When connected to the grid the
smart load will be always on.
Power - Minimum PV/Wind generation (W) to enable
smart load.
OFF - Battery SOC to disable Smart Load output.
ON - Battery SOC to enable Smart Load output.

all possible fault codes and their descriptions.
7. Fault information and processing
The energy storage inverter is designed according to the grid-connected operation
standard and meets the safety requirements and electromagnetic compatibility
requirements. Before leaving the factory, the inverter undergoes several rigorous
tests to ensure that the inverter can operate reliably.
If any of the fault messages listed in Table 6-1 appear on your inverter and
the fault has not been removed after restarting, please contact your local dealer
or service center. You need to have the following information ready.
