3. Safety Instructions
WARNING: This manual contains important safety and operating instructions. Read this
manual carefully before installations and operations, keep it for future reference.
1. Before using the unit, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the unit, the batteries and all
appropriate sections of this manual.
2. Do not disassemble the unit. Take it to a qualified service center when service or repair is required.
Incorrect re-assembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
3. To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wirings before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Turning off the unit will not reduce this risk.
4. CAUTION –Only qualified personnel can install this device with battery.
5. Be very cautious when working with metal tools on or around batteries. A potential risk exists to drop
a tool to spark or short circuit batteries or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
6. Please strictly follow installation procedure when you want to disconnect DC terminals. Please refer to
INSTALLATION section of this manual for the details.
7. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS -Inverter should be connected to a permanent grounded wiring system.
Be sure to comply with local requirements and regulation to install.
8. NEVER cause AC output and DC input short circuited.
9. Warning!! Only qualified service persons are able to service this device. If errors still persist after
following troubleshooting table, please send this inverter back to local dealer or service center for
maintenance.

4. Installation
NOTE: 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 1
Mounting bracket x 2
Mounting the Unit
Please utilize the delivered mounting brackets for problem-free installation of the inverter. Installation to the
wall should be implemented with the proper screws. Mount the wall bracket so that the inverter can be easily
attached to the wall. After that, the device should be bolted on securely.
1. Screw two mounting brackets on the back of
the inverter with supplied screws as shown in
chart.
2. Mount the mounting plate with appropriate screws
(M4 or M5) into four holes to fix the unit in place.
3. Check if the inverter is firmly secured.

Battery Connection
Before connecting battery wirings, please take off bottom cover by removing two screws as shown below.
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 and terminal size as below.

Please follow below steps to implement battery connection:
1. Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size.
2. 2KVA/3KVA model supports 24VDC system. Connect all battery packs as below chart. It’s suggested to
connect at least 100Ah capacity battery.
NOTE: Please only use sealed lead acid battery or sealed GEL/AGM lead-acid battery.
3. Insert the ring terminal of battery cable flatly into battery connector of inverter and make sure the bolts are
tightened with torque of 2-3 Nm. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the inverter is correctly
Ring terminal:

connected and ring terminals are tightly screwed to the battery terminals.
4. Fixing the bottom cover on the unit by two screws, refer to the picture in step 1.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.
CAUTION!! Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal and the ring
terminal. Otherwise, overheating may occur.
CAUTION!! Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are
connected tightly.
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
(-).
AC Output Connection
Connect the load to the output sockets.
5. OPERATION

Internal temperature of inverter
component is over 100°C.
Fault code 03
The battery voltage is too high.
Check if spec and quantity of
batteries are meet
requirements.
