2. Safety
2.1 Intended Use
The Hyper Series are single phase solar hybrid inverters suitable for both on-
grid and off-grid operation. With Lithium batteries, PV panels and a smart
meter, the hybrid inverter is the central device to make a solar storage system
for increased self-consumption.
The Hyper Series must only be connected with a LIVOLTEK lithium battery.
To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term
operation of the product, please read and follow all the instructions and
cautions on the inverter and this user manual during installation, operation or
maintenance at all times.
2.2 Important Safety Instructions
Danger to life from electric shock.
•Before performing any work on the inverter, disconnect all DC and AC
power from inverter and wait for at least 5 minutes.
•Do not touch DC conductors or any non-isolated cable ends.
•If an error occurs, contact your local distributor or qualified electricians.
•Make sure the inverter is not touchable from children.
Risk of burns from hot surfaces.
•The surface of the inverter might exceed 60℃, touching the surface may
result in burns.
•Do not touch hot surfaces before it cools down.
•Only authorized service personnel are allowed to install the inverter or
perform servicing and maintenance
•All powers, both AC and DC, should be disconnected from inverter
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any

3
circuits connected to inverter.
•The Inverter has a transformerless design on PV side. Either positive or
negative terminals of PV panels should not be grounded.
•The frames of PV panels should be grounded for safety reasons.
•Do not open inverter cover or change any components without
authorization, otherwise the warranty commitment for the inverter will be
invalid.
•Appropriate methods must be adopted to protect inverter from
electrostatic discharge, any damage caused by ESD is not warranted by
the manufacturer.

4.3 Operating Mode Introduction
4.3.1 On Grid Self-Use Operating Mode
The on grid self-use operating mode is recommended for when the system is
installed in an area with a stable grid. The purpose is to increase self-
consumption of clean PV energy. When Inverter is set to work in this mode:
i. During daytime and there is sufficient PV Power,
• The PV energy is used to supply local loads as first priority and then
charge the battery, excess energy will be fed into grid*1*2.
• When battery is fully charged, PV energy is supplied to the local loads
and fed into grid*1*2.
ii. During nighttime or there is not sufficient PV Power,
• Battery is discharged to supply local loads, if extra power is required, it
will be imported from grid.

9
• When the battery SOC is below the DischargeEndSOC@Grid value or
fully discharged, the inverter will stop working and
local loads will be supplied from the grid.
• Thanks to the on-grid operation, the switch from battery power, PV power
and grid power is automatic and seamless.
iii. When grid fails,
• When grid fails, the inverter will automatically disconnect from grid and
output power to the EPS port.
• When battery is discharged to the DischargeEndSOC@EPS value, the
inverter will stop working and wait for the grid to recover or until there is
sufficient power from PV panels to charge the battery.
• If grid failure can be a common occurrence in your area, you can adjust
the DischargeEndSOC@Grid higher to ensure there is battery power
available.
iv. You can also:
• Set a schedule for the inverter to charge the battery using cheap off-peak
grid power.
• Specify the daily working periods of self-use for inverter.
*1: The inverter can be set not to feed power into the grid. But a small amount
of energy will still inevitably be fed into grid due to unpredictable PV energy
change and load fluctuations.
*2: Firmware update may be required to support this function.
For on-grid self-use operating mode, one can set the discharge end
SOC@Grid as low as the battery allows (10% or 20% for example).
Please refer to your local battery technician for minimum discharging
end SOC.

10
4.3.2 Off Grid / Back-up Operating Mode*3
For systems installed in area with a weak grid or even without grid, the inverter
should be working in off grid / back-up operating mode:
i. When grid or diesel generator is available,
• When the battery is below the DischargeEndSOC@Grid value, it will be
charged firstly from PV and secondly from grid at the max allowable
current.
• When the battery is above the DischargeEndSOC@Grid value, it will be
charged by excess PV energy and will discharge if the PV power is not
enough to support the loads.
ii. When grid or diesel generator is not available,
• When there is enough energy stored in the battery, the EPS port will
export power to support local loads firstly from PV. If there’s excess PV
energy, it will be used to charge the battery. Otherwise battery will be
discharged to feed the load.
• When the battery SOC is below the DischargeEnd SOC@EPS value, the
inverter will disconnect power to the EPS port. All energy from PV will be
used to charge the battery until the SOC reaches the EPS restart value.
iii. When working in this mode:
• The max power*3 from the EPS port is limited by inverter type, battery
type and battery SOC.
• A larger battery is always recommended for off grid / back up
configuration. You should never discharge the battery too deeply to
avoid it “Running Flat”.
• When there is an overload or short circuit fault, the inverter will stop
working and an alarm will sound. It will try to restart several times before
shutting down completely. Turn off or unplug load to remove the short
circuit fault or overload as soon as possible.
*2: Firmware update may be required to support this mode.
*3: Please be noted that refrigerators, air conditioners, water pumps and etc.,
demand a large start up currents and may trip EPS overload protection. Be
sure not to connect too many of this kind of load to avoid frequent system

11
shutdown and restart.
For off-grid / back-up operating mode, one should set a higher
DischargeEndSOC@Grid value (above 50% for example). So that
there will be some energy in battery when a grid failure occurs.

5.2 Mounting the Inverter
Procedure:
The inverter must be mounted in upright position with a maximal tilt
angle of 15 degree.
Minimum clearances around inverter should be applied, as the following
figure shown.
STEP 1:
•Please use the wall
mounting bracket as
template to drill 4 holes
in the wall.

15
STEP 2:
•Use expansion bolts or
correct wall fixings to
attach the mounting
bracket to the wall
tightly.
STEP 3:
•Lift and hang the
inverter on the bracket.
STEP 4:
•Peel off the protective film on the front surface.

6. Electrical Connection
6.1 Wiring Diagram
Wiring Diagram for European
In Australia and New Zealand, electrical installation and maintenance
shall be conducted by a licensed electrician and shall comply with
Australia/New Zealand National Wiring Rules.
Because the inverter does not maintain neutral integrity, an external
neutral connection must be used in Australia and New Zealand. 30mA
Type “A” RCD can be used where required by AS/NZ 3000, but cannot
be used if there are backup loads on the inverter as per AS4777.
