450W Inverter
V. 1.0
1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the solar inverter. This simple solar inverter is designed to power
your home appliances or precious 3C electronics. It also can handle motor-type loads with high
surge power such as vacuums, small freezers, or drills. With uilt-in solar charger, it can
convert solar power to attery power and provide continuous power to connected equipment
during night time.
2. Important Safety Warning (SAVE T ESE INSTRUCTIONS)
Before using the inverter, please read all instructions and cautionary markings
on the unit, this manual and the batteries.
General Precaution-
Install the UPS in a protected area that is free of excessive dust and has adequate air flow.
Please place the UPS away from other units at least 20 cm to avoid interference. Do NOT
operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity is outside the specific limits. (Please
check the specs for the limitations.)
CAUTION! The unit is designed for indoor use. Do not expose this unit to rain, snow or
liquids of any type.
CAUTION! To reduce risk of injury, only use qualified atteries from qualified distri utors or
manufacturers. Any unqualified atteries may cause damage and injury. Do NOT use old or
overdue atteries. Please check the attery type and date code efore installation to avoid
damage and injury.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate
external attery ca le. To reduce risk of injury, external attery ca les should e UL certified
and rated for 7 5° C or higher. And do not use copper ca les less than 10AWG. Below is the
external attery ca le reference according to system requirements.

Mounting the unit
The unit can e mounted to a wall surface. Please follow elow steps:
1. Turn off the unit efore mounting.
2. Select an appropriate mounting location. Use a horizontal line and the length of the line
must e 222 mm and mark the two ends on the wall. (see chart 1)
3. Drill two marks y screws.
4. Mount the unit y positioning the key-hole slots over the mounting screws. (see chart 2)

CAUTION! Do not disassem le the inverter. Contact with the qualified service center when
service or repair is required.
WARNING! Provide ventilation to outdoors from the attery compartment. The attery
enclosure should e designed to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas at
the top of the compartment.
CAUTION! Use insulated tools to reduce the chance of short-circuit when installing or working
with the inverter, the atteries, or other equipments attached to this unit.
CAUTION! For attery installation and maintenance, read the attery manufacturer's
installation and maintenance instructions prior to operating.
Personnel Precaution -
CAUTION! Careful to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the atteries. It could spark
or short circuit the atteries and could cause an explosion.
CAUTION! Remove personal metal items such as rings, racelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with atteries. Batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to
make metal melt, and could cause severe urns.
CAUTION! Avoid touching eyes while working near atteries.
CAUTION! Have plenty of fresh water and soap near y in case attery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
CAUTION! NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a attery.
CAUTION! If a remote or automatic generator start system is used, disa le the automatic
starting circuit or disconnect the generator to prevent accident during servicing.

5. Installation
NOTE: Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is
damaged.
Connect to Utility and Charge
Plug in the AC input cord to the wall outlet. The unit will automatically charge the connected
external attery even though the unit is off.
Connect External Battery
Step 1- Take away the cover of external attery terminal.
Step 2- Following attery polarity guide printed near the attery terminal!
Place the external attery ca le ring terminal over the attery terminal.
RED cable to the positive terminal (+);
BLACK cable to the negative terminal (-).
WARNING! Please use the appropriate attery ca le. Please refer to Important Safety
Warnings Section for the details.
Step 3- Tight the attery ca les with the M5 nuts. Do NOT place anything etween the flat
part of attery terminal and the attery ca le ring terminal, or overheating may occur.
(See Fig. 1)
Step 4- Install a DC Breaker in a positive attery line. The
rating of the DC Breaker must e according to the inverter's
attery current (75 Amp). Keep the DC reaker off. (see Fig. 2)
Step 5- Connect attery ca les to the external atteries. Note:
For the user operation safety, we strongly recommend that you
should use tapes to isolate the attery terminals efore you
start to operate the unit.
1) Single battery connection(Refer to Fig. 2): When using a single attery, its voltage
must e equal to the Nominal DC Voltage of the unit (see below Table 1).
2) Multiple batteries in series connection(Refer to Fig. 3): All atteries must e equal
in voltage and amp hour capacity. The sum of their voltages must e equal to the nominal DC
Voltage of the unit.
Fig 3
3) Multiple batteries in parallel connection(Refer to Fig. 4): Each attery's voltage
must e equal to the Nominal DC Voltage of the unit.

Step 6- Make sure to connect the polarity of attery side and the unit correctly.
Positive pole (Red) of battery to the positive terminal (+)of the unit.
Negative pole (Black) of battery to the negative terminal (-) of the unit.
Step 7- Put the covers ack to the external attery terminals.
Step 8- Take the DC reaker on.

Operation Mode Selector
a). “UPS”: setting for conventional electrical appliance.
If you select this mode, the unit's input utility range will e 162~290VAC as normal home UPS.
If the utility is higher or lower than this range, the unit will transfer to inverter mode
automatically. And you can connect the computer systems or other precision home
equipment when you select this operation mode.
). “INV.”: setting for energy saving
If you select this mode, the unit's input utility range will e extended to 90~280VAC. If the
utility is higher or lower than this range, the unit will transfer to inverter mode automatically.
So, you can connect the home equipments, such as light ul , fluorescent tu e, fan, or TV
on this mode.
Caution!! If you select the “INV.” mode and connect the computer to the output of the unit,
the computer may re oot if the input voltage is too low to e accepted.
