SolaX Adapter Box
Quick Installation Guide
Packing List
- Check that if there is any distortion or impaired during
transportation.
SolaX Adapter box is matched with a heat pump with dry
contact function, which can realize heat pump integrated
photovoltaic inverter energy system management. The inverter
can control the Adapter box to use solar energy efficiently
according to the requirements set by the user (grid power,
battery capacity, time, etc.) Supplying heat pumps is generally
applicable when there is surplus solar energy and battery
storage capacity. This part of the energy can be used to heat
the heat pump within the required temperature range. Please
read this guide carefully before using.

Note: The inverter terminal communication lines are carried out in strict accordance with the color sequence of the above lines. If you use it with SolaX's
X1-Hybrid G4 /X3-Hybrid G4 series, please pay attention to the communication control of pins 3, 6, 7 and 8; For use with SolaX grid-connected inverter series,
please pay attention to pin 3 and 6 communication control.
Connect the Adapter box to the inverter
1. Insert the cables through the glands.
2. Make cables, insert it into the RJ45 connecter in the box and tighten the waterproof terminal.
(Conventional Communication cable, Stripping cable length: L = 15.00mm)
3.Press the wire on the other side according to the inverter quick installation requirements and insert it into the inverter port.
(Refer to the quick installation manual of the corresponding inverter for specic details)
Connect the Adapter box to the Heat pump
4. First remove the green terminal block in the adapter box,the connect the cables to the through-hole terminals and tighten them.
( Wire specications: outer diameter(3.5-5.5) mm, stripping cable length: L = 7.00mm).
5.The wiring on the other side is inserted into the port according to the quick installation requirements of the heat pump.
(Please refer to the quick installation manual of the corresponding heat pump)

(a) If you want to turn off the adapter box function, you can set "Disable" here to turn it off.
Manual setting: (b) Manual mode switch, you can set it to on or off here.
Smart save settings: (c) User can set the feed-in power threshold here. Once the feed-in power is greater than or equal to the set value, the adaptor box will turn
on to make the heat pump work in mode 3.
(d) User can set the consumption power threshold here. Once the power consumption is greater than or equal to the set value, Adapter box will turn off to
make heat pump work in mode 2.
(e) User can set the battery capacity threshold here. Once the battery capacity drops to the set value, the adapter box will turn off to make the heat pump work
in mode 2.
(f ) User can set the minimum duration time that the heat pump will continue to run in mode 3 once the condition (c)is triggered.
(g) User can set the cumulative time of operation mode 3 in one day. If this value is exceeded, the adapter box will not turn on even if condition (c) is met.
(h) Users can set two working time periods for the operating mode 3.( In other time periods, the adapter box will be turned on/off according to the

In this operating mode, the heat pump runs in standard operation. To activate this operating state, the external relay for controlling the
heat pump remains open.
In this operating mode, the heat pump operates within the regulator in the intensied operation for hot water generation and / or room
heating. This is not a direct start-up command, but an activation recommendation corresponding to the available PV power. In order to
activate this operating state, the external relay is closed.
