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
Communication cable x 2
Software CD x 1
DC Fuse x 1 (only for 3KVA/5KVA model)
Ring terminal x 1 (only for 3KVA/5KVA model)
Strain relief plate x 2 (not for 1KVA/2KVA with MPPT model)
Screws x 4 (not for 1KVA/2KVA with MPPT model)
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:
lDo not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
lMount on a solid surface
lInstall this inverter at eye level in order to allow the LCD display
to be read at all times.
lFor 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.
lThe ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 55°C to
ensure optimal operation.
lThe recommended installation position is to be adhered to the
wall vertically.
lBe 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 two 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 as below.
Recommended battery cable size:
Model Wire Size Cable (mm2)Torque value（max）
1KVA/2KVA 1 x 4AWG 25 2 Nm
3KVA/5KVA 1 x 2AWG 35
Please follow below steps to implement battery connection:
1. Remove insulation sleeve 18 mm for positive and negative conductors.
2. Suggest to put bootlace ferrules on the end of positive and negative wires
with a proper crimping tool.
3. Fix strain relief plate to the inverter by supplied screws as shown in below
chart.

4. 1KVA model supports 12VDC system, 2KVA/3KVA model supports 24VDC system and 5KVA model supports
48VDC system. Connect all battery packs as below chart. It’s suggested to connect at least 100Ah capacity
battery for 1-3KVA model and at least 200Ah capacity battery for 5KVA model.
5. Insert the battery wires flatly into battery connectors of inverter and make sure the bolts are tightened with
torque of 2 Nm in clockwise direction. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the inverter/charge is
correctly connected and conductors are tightly screwed into the battery terminals.
Recommended tool: #2 Pozi Screwdriver
6. To firmly secure wire connection, you may fix the wires to strain relief with cable tie.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.
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
(-).
