Chapter 3 Product Description
3.1 Product description
EAHI-3000~6000-SLinverter is used to control and optimize the energy flow in the photovoltaic
system through an integrated energy management system. With the inverter, the power energy
generated in the photovoltaic system can be supplied for the load, stored in the battery, and
outputted to the grid. The inverter integrates with power supply, battery and Internet for
connection with grid, photovoltaic panels and the Internet of things to supply the power for
families, small supermarkets, farms and other places.
Product features:
Graphic LCD and key design, user-friendly interface
One-key remote control and OTA upgrade function accessible to digital power station
maintenance
24-hour intelligent energy management to understand the status of photovoltaic power
station in real time
Charging and discharging time and power settable flexibly for peak load shifting
Uninterruptible power supply, switchable within 20ms
Continuous off-grid power supply capacity up to 6KW
High charging and discharging efficiency to improve the economic benefits of system
Intelligent BMS function to improve battery reliability
Compatible with lead-acid and lithium batteries, which can match economic solutions of
different markets
High frequency isolation technology used to provide higher system safety and long service
life
3.2 Application scenarios
WARNING
•The photovoltaic system is not suitable for connection with the devices requiring stable
power supply, such as life-sustaining medical devices. Make sure that no personal injury is
caused in case of system failure.
•If the photovoltaic system is not equipped with a battery, it is not recommended to use the

~ 7 ~
BACK-UP function. The power consumption risk of the system caused therefore is excluded
from the warranty of the equipment manufacturer.
•The battery current may be affected by some factors, such as temperature, humidity,
weather conditions, etc., which may cause battery current limit and affect carrying capacity.
•If overload protection is triggered on the inverter for single time, the inverter can be restarted
automatically; if overload protection is repeated, the restarting time of the inverter will be
prolonged. If it is required to restart the inverter as soon as possible, the inverter may be
restarted immediately by App.
•If, during grid failure, load capacity is more than the rated power of the inverter, the off-grid
function of the inverter will be disenabled automatically; when the inverter is restarted, close
large load to ensure that the load power is less than the rated power of the inverter.
•The inverter has overload capacity and EPS function at the BACK-UP output port (switching
time <20ms), and may supply the power for normal use in ordinary domestic load in case of
grid failure. To ensure EPS switchover and power supply stability of the load, do not use the
loads requiring high starting current as much as possible, such as high-power water pumps.
The supported load sizes are as follows:
Total power of inductive load and capacitive load ≤ 1 x rated output power of inverter

Chapter 5 Installation
5.1 Preparation before installation
Installation environment requirements
The ambient temperature should be between -25℃and +60℃, and the relative humidity
should be between 0% and 90% (no condensation).
The inverter can be installed indoors or outdoors dry and well ventilated environment
without excessive dust, but not in direct sunlight or near heating equipment.
The inverter may generate noise (25dB or less) during operation. Please install the
inverter far away from the rest area.
The inverter should be installed on firm bearing surface, and installation location and
method must fit with the weight and dimension of the inverter.
The inverter should be installed vertically or at not more than 15°backward tilt, and must
not be installed at frontward tilt, or diagonally and horizontally.
During installation of the inverter, the display panel should be aligned with line of sight to
facilitate the operation.
The wiring terminals should be protected by the waterproof cover and tightened.
The inverter should be installed at less than 4000m altitude.
The inverter should be installed away from high-intensity magnetic field to avoid
electromagnetic interference. If there is a radio station or less than 30MHz wireless
telecom equipment nearby the installation site, the inverter should be installed as
