Fig2.2 ShineTools App QR code
2.2 APP Introduction
ShineTools is used to connect the inverter with built-in WIFI at close range. We can view
the inverter system information and system fouction settings with it.
2.3 Connecting to Local Wi-Fi Network
The steps for using APP are as follows:
Setup local Wi-Fi to communicate with the inverter
1.Login interface
2.Enter the default
password and log in
3.Tap in Direct WiFi
The default password is
oss+ day. Ex: if today's
date is Dec 29, 2020, the
default password would
be oss20201229, You can
change the password
according to the prompts
below.
4.Tap in Go to set
5. Open the Wi-Fi settings
on the mobile phone
6. The Wi-Fi name is the
Serial Number on the label
at the left side of the inverter.
The Wi-Fi password is
12345678

The main interface of local commissioning consists of three parts:
7. Tap in Next
8. Tap in Auto refresh
Now this APP has been
connected to the built-in
WIFI of the inverter.
Note:
When no data was present, the communication connection is unsuccessful and you will
need to reconnect the build-in WIFI of the inverter by turning off Wifi setting in the
phone and turn on again OR power cycle the system.
Also, keep the mobile phone within 3 meters of the inverter to ensure stable connection
between phone and inverter.

The factory Default grid mode of the inverter is IEEE1547-240, which can adapt to the
most power grids. The different grid code can be changed according to local regulation
in the network configuration interface from Quick Setting in ShineTools App.

Wi-Fi Network Configuration 4
First time install the inverter, the inverter needs to be configured to connect to the home
Wi-Fi to ensure the remote monitoring.
1.Tap in Quick Setting icon
2.Choose Network
configuration
3.Enter network
information
4.Tap in Connect to the
internet icon
5.Prompt message for
successful configuration
Note:
If the network configuration has failed, please carefully check the Wi-Fi name,
password and antenna installation connection, and then try again.
Notice: The inverter does not support 5GHz WiFi network.

5 Energy Management System
Notice: First time install the energy storage system, charge the battery for at least 1 hours
or up to 60% SOC before powering off the system. This action will keep up the battery
power to avoid running out while waiting for PTO.
There are two ways to charge the battery.
ØThe first is to connect the PV array to the PV of the inverter and turn off the AC output
breaker of the inverter.
ØThe second method is to Wake up the battery via the battery's force-wake switch
button（The forced wake-up switch button of the LG battery is at the bottom of the
inverter wiring frame, and the forced wake-up switch button of the ARO battery is on the
ARO battery cabinet） and connect SYN 200-XH-US to the grid without any
PV input, set the EMS mode of the system to TOU Battery Charging (5.2.3), and turn
on the AC charging function (5.2.2).
5.1 Management System Mode Introduction
The MIN 3K-11.4K TL-XH-US system provides four energy storage modes to choose from.
Storage Mode
Description
TOU Battery
Charging
Charge battery from PV production and grid power (if needed) until
it is full. Only then use PV production for self-consumption and grid
export
TOU Battery
Discharging
If PV Production < Inverter Maximum Production (nameplate or
limited power), discharge battery for self-consumption and grid
export until the inverter reaches its power limit or max battery
discharge power.
Maximum self-
consumption
Use PV production for self-consumption, then charge/discharge
battery as needed to maximize self-consumption
Maximum self-
consumption
Export Limit
The power output from the system to the grid is limited at the set
value
5.2 Energy Management System setting
For the photovoltaic energy storage system, several functions of the system need to set
after the first installation and power-up.
