1、 Inverter Models
After TL-XH series connect with BDC, the time period of the BDC can be set.
The following models include in this series:
MIN 2500TL-XH、MIN 3000TL-XH、MIN 3600TL-XH、MIN 4200TL-XH、MIN
4600TL-XH、MIN 5000TL-XH、MIN 6000TL-XH
Please make sure the inverter is the latest firmware version and is a single-phase
inverter model with RS485 port.
2、 Operating Mode Setting
The BDC time setting function enables the inverter to run different modes in different
time periods. The modes that can be set include: load first, battery first and grid first.
In the battery first mode, if you need to take power from the grid, please enable the grid
charging function in advance.
Note: When the BDC time is set, the start time of the latter period must be greater than the end time
of the previous period.
3、 Setting
Please ensure that the inverter and BDC communication are normal and in the on-grid
state. After set the BDC priority time period and enable the grid charging function, the
inverter will run continuously according to the set priority mode and time period. This
document describes four BDC time setting methods.

Table.1. OLED Touch Button instructions

The OLED can only set three time periods, and the start time of the latter time period
must be greater than the end time of the previous time period.
First a single touch to enter the "Set Parameter" interface, select "Advanced " and enter
the password, press twice to enter the "Storage Setting", select "Time Period" to set the
BDC priority time period: first select the priority mode, Touch twice to enter the time
setting, select whether to enable the setting, and then touch twice to set successfully.

3.2. Setting through ShineServer
If the inverter is monitored online via the Growatt monitoring system, you can setting
the mode and time periods via ShineServer.  First login to ShineServer, click "Plant" and
go to the "Device List" interface, select to enter "Min", you can see the inverter list.
Select the inverter and click the setting icon to enter the setting interface.

Select the time period you want to set, select the priority mode and fill in the end time
and start time. Finally, select whether to enable it. After entering the password, click
Save to successfully set it.

3.3. Setting through ShinePhone
If the inverter is monitored online via the Growatt monitoring system, you can set
mode and time periods via the ShinePhone. First login to the shinephone, click on
"Plant" to see the inverter list. Select the inverter, enter the details page and click the
“Control” to enter the setting interface.

Select “Set the priority of charging and discharging period”, enter the password, select
the time period, the priority mode, then select end time and start time, finally select
whether to enable it. Click “Yes” to set it successfully.

3.4. Setting through ShineBus
To set up the inverter with ShineBus, you need connect the inverter to the host computer
with the communication cable, connect the RS485 port to the BAT COM 1-2 pin of the
inverter, and connect the USB port to the host computer.
After connect the communication cable, first, click “Configuration” to use ShineBus to
read the inverter information to ensure that the inverter communicates successfully with
the host computer; After that, enter the “BDC Time Set” interface and write “start time”
and “end time” (note: The start time of the next time period must be greater than the
end time of the previous time period. After selecting the priority mode, select “Enable”
and click “Time”, when display “Set Successfully” means the setting is enable now.
To read a single time period, please select “Read” and click “Time” to successfully read
the single time period priority mode and time data.

4、 BDC Mode Real Test
The MIN series inverters have realized that the inverters operate different priority
modes in different time periods. Set the load first, battery first and grid first separately.
We can observe the priority mode of the device through the monitoring device.
Taking the PV1000W and the load power 2000W as examples, the load first, battery
first and grid first operation status are observed respectively. As shown in the figure
below, it can be monitored that the inverter operates normally in different modes.
