3. INSTALLATION
3.1. Selecting the Mounting Area
DO NOT install the inverter in the following areas:
Areas with high salt content, such as the marine environment. It will deteriorate metal parts, causing
the parts to fail or the unit to leak water.
Areas filled with mineral oil or containing a large amount of splashed oil or steam, such as a kitchen.
It will deteriorate plastic parts, causing the parts to fail or the unit to leak water.
Areas that generates substances that adversely affect the equipment, such as sulfuric gas, chlorine
gas, acid, or alkali. It will cause the copper pipes and brazed joints to corrode, which can cause
refrigerant leakage.
Areas that can cause combustible gas to leak, which contains suspended carbon-fiber or flammable
dust, or volatile inflammable such as paint thinner or gasoline.
Areas where there may be gas leaks and settles around the unit. It can cause fires.
Areas where animals may urinate on the unit or ammonia may be generated.
High altitude areas above 4000 meters above sea level.
Environments where precipitation or humidity are above 95%
Areas where the air circulation is too low.
ALSO CONSIDER:

Website: www.sunsynk.com E-mail: [e-mail] 12
Install the indoor unit, outdoor unit, power supply cable, transmission cable, and remote control cable
at least 1m away from a television or radio receivers. This will prevent TV reception interference or
radio noise. Even if they are installed more than 1m apart, it is still possible to receive noise under
some signal conditions.
If children under 10 years old may approach the unit, take preventive measures so that they cannot
reach and touch the unit.
Install the indoor unit on the wall where the height from the floors is higher than 1600mm.
3.2. Mounting the Inverter
Select installation locations that adequate to support the weight of the converter.
Install this inverter at eye-level to allow the LCD to be read anytime.
An appropriate ambient temperature is between -25 ~ 60°C to ensure optimal operation.
Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the figure to guarantee sufficient heat
dissipation and have enough space to remove wires.
For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance of approximately 50cm to the side.

Website: www.sunsynk.com E-mail: [e-mail] 13
3.3. Battery Connection
Battery connection of the 3.6kW/5.5kW model
Battery connection of the 8kW model
For safe operation and compliance, an individual DC overcurrent protector or disconnection device is
required for the connection of the battery and the inverter. It is recommended to utilize a suitable fuse
and DC isolator (see next page). In some applications, switching devices may not be required but
overcurrent protectors are still required.
A minimum battery cable size of 35mm diameter and 50mm diameter is recommended for the 5.5
kW and 8.8kW inverter, respectively.
Risk of injury when lifting and from falling inverter
Remember that this inverter is heavy (See section 2 “Technical Data”)! Please be careful when
removing the inverter from the packaging and mounting it onto the wall.

Website: www.sunsynk.com E-mail: [e-mail] 14
Recommended DC Surge Protector:
3.3.1 Connecting a Lithium Battery
When connecting a Lithium battery, follow the connection steps bellow and then check section 4.13
“Setting Up a Lithium Battery” for setting it up in the inverter:
1. Connect a properly power cable following the battery manufacturer specification and recommend
safety devices.
2. Connect communication cable properly following the battery manufacturer specification.
3. Connect to the inverter correctly.
Before making the finalDC connection or closing the DC breaker/disconnection device, ensure
that the inverter is wired properly. Reverse polarity connection on the battery will damage the
inverter.

Website: www.sunsynk.com E-mail: [e-mail] 15
3.3.2. Battery Temperature Connection
Without a remote temperature sensor, lead-acid batteries may undercharge or overcharge depending on
the ambient temperature of the installation environment. This may result in a fire hazard.

3.4. Connecting the AC
Bottom view of the 3.6kW/5.5kW model
Bottom view of the 8kW model
All wiring and cable sizing must be following the country wiring regulations and code of
practices.
Ensure that suitable disconnection devices and RCDs are fitted.
NOTES
Depending on the battery type, the inverter should be capable of controlling the batteries BMS.
Therefore, you need to set the protocol of the BMS on both the battery and the inverter.
WHEN USING MORE THAN ONE BATTERY, THE FIRST BATTERY WILL BE THE MASTER,
AND THE OTHER BATTERIES WILL BE THE SLAVES. PLEASE, CHECK THE BATTERY
MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATION FOR PROPER OPERATION.
To verify if the battery is actually communicating access the Li BMS menu as detailed in section
4.13 “Setting Up a Lithium Battery” and check whether the values are realistic or not. It is important
that the charge and discharge limits in that page match the numbers expected for the number of
batteries physically connected.

GEN/AUX
Connection for a generator
GRID
This works like a conventional grid-tied inverter. It is both an in and out
connection for non-essential load and supply
LOAD
Connection of essential loads such as lighting, security systems, and
internet
Please follow below steps to make the AC input/output connection:
1. Before making AC input/output connections, be sure to open DC protector or disconnector first.
2. Remove insulation sleeve 10mm length, unscrew the bolts, insert the AC input wires according to
polarities indicated on the terminal block and tighten the terminal screws.
3. Ensure that the connection was made properly.
Check that AC power source is isolated before attempting to wire it to the inverter Insert AC output wires
according to polarities indicated on the terminal block and tighten terminal. Be sure to connect
corresponding N wires and PE wires to related terminals and ensure the wires are securely connected.
Recommended AC Surge Protector

Website: www.sunsynk.com E-mail: [e-mail] 18
Please ensure you use suitable protection devices. Switchgear and fuses must be following the local
wiring standards. A figure of the complete system is presented bellow.
3.4.1. Installing the CT Coil
The CT coil is one of the most important parts of the Sunsynk Parity inverter. This device reduces the
power of the inverter to prevent feeding power to the grid. This feature is also known as "Zero Export".
Fit the coil (sensor) around the live cable on the main fuse feeding the building and run the cable back
to the inverter. This cable can be extended up to an extra 10m using a similar cable.
Connect the other end of the CT coil into the inverter terminals marked as CT coil

Website: www.sunsynk.com E-mail: [e-mail] 19
3.4.2 Earth Connection (mandatory)
Ground cable shall be connected to ground plate on grid side this prevents electric shock. if the
original protective conductor fails.
All neutrals can be linked together to maintain the neutral bond. When Neural Earth bond is required for
off-grid, then it has to be removed on grid-tied operation.
IMPORTANT
If the CT coil is fitted in the wrong
way then this variable will have
negative instead of positive
values when the power is flowing
into the house/inverter. Also, the
inverter export limiting function
will not work properly.

Website: www.sunsynk.com E-mail: [e-mail] 20
If an earth bond is required between neutral and earth and your system is a hybrid system then you can
have a permanent earth wire since this can cause faults with an RCD before the inverter.
Since the inverter is a true hybrid then the bond must only be made when the inverter is operating in
Islanding Mode. To accommodate this, Sunsynk provides an AC output, which is connected to the A/T/S
connections whenever the inverter is running on Island Mode. Therefore, you can simply connect the coil
of an AC relay to the ATS 240 connections. Next, you need to select Signal Island Mode on the battery
charge menu (click on the gear icon -> battery icon), as shown in the figure below.
You can verify if there is a voltage when the inverter is disconnected from the grid by using a simple
multimeter.
NOTE
The grid may still be present, but the inverter is not draining power from it since the unit is working in
Island Mode.
