2 Safety and conformity
2.1 Safety Instructions
Danger to life due to lethal voltages!
Lethal voltages are present within the unit and on the power supply lines.
Therefore, only authorized electricians may install and open the unit.
Even when the unit is disconnected, high contact voltages may still be present
within the unit.
Danger of burn injuries due to hot enclosure parts!
During operation, the four sides of the enclosure lid and the heat sink may
become hot.
Only touch the front enclosure lid during operation.
Possible damage to health as a result of the effects of radiation!
In special cases, there may still be interference for the specified application area
despite maintaining standardized emission limit values (e.g. when sensitive
equipment is located at the setup location or when the setup location is near
radio or television receivers). In this case, the operator is obliged to take proper
action to rectify the situation.
Do not stay closer than 20 cm to the inverter for any length of time.
Grounding the PV generator
Comply with the local requirements for grounding the PV modules and the PV
generator. we recommends connecting the generator frame and other
electrically conductive surfaces in a manner which ensures continuous
conduction with ground these in order to have optimal protection of the system
and personnel.

8
Capacitive Discharge Currents
PV modules with large capacities relative to earth, such as thin-film PV
modules with cells on a metallic substrate, may only be used if their coupling
capacity does not exceed 470nF. During feed-in operation, a leakage current
flows from the cells to earth, the size of which depends on the manner in which
the PV modules are installed (e.g. foil on metal roof) and on the weather (rain,
snow). This "normal" leakage current may not exceed 50mA due to the fact that
the inverter would otherwise automatically disconnect
from the electricity grid as a protective measure.
u DC and AC breaker
Separate the unit securely from the grid and the PV generators, battery using DC
and AC breaker. DC and AC breaker shall be able to disconnect all non-ground
conductors after installation.
u Grounding the PV modules
The unit is a transformerless inverter. That is why it has no galvanic separation. Do
not ground the DC circuits of the PV modules connected to the unit. Only ground
the mounting frame of the PV modules.
If you connect grounded PV modules to the unit the error message "PV ISO Low".

3 Product Description
3.1 Inverter Overview
3.2 Information of the unit
The unit is bidirectional which applies to the PV system with battery storage. Energy
produced by the PV system is used to optimize self-consumption; excess energy is
used to charge the batteries, and then fed into the public grid when the PV energy is
adequate, When PV energy output is insufficient to support connected loads, the
system automatically get energy from the batteries if battery capacity is sufficient. If
the battery capacity is insufficient to meet own consumption requirements, electricity
will be drawn from the public grid.
