※ 4.1 Location
The Sunways STS 3-6kW series inverters designed with IP65 protection enclosure for
indoor and outdoor installations. When selecting an inverter installation location, the fol-
lowing factors should be considered:
① The wall on which the inverters mounted must be able to withstand the weight of the
inverter.
② The inverter needs to be installed in a well-ventilated environment.
③ Do not expose the inverter directly to strong sunlight to prevent excessive temperature
operation. The inverter should be installed in a place with shelter to prevent direct expo-
sure to sunlight and rain.
④ Install the inverter at eye level for easy inspection of screen data and further mainte-
nance.
⑤ The ambient temperature of the inverter installation location should be between -30℃
and 60℃ .
⑥ The surface temperature of the inverter may reach up to 75℃ . To avoid risk of burns,
do not touch the inverter while it's operating and inverter must be installed out of reach-
ing of children.

③ Use an electrical driller with 10mm diameter bit to drill 4 holes in the wall with 80mm depth.
Warning
Before drilling, make sure to avoid any buried water tube and electric wires in the wall.
④ Insert the expansion tubes into the holes and tighten them, then 󽗉x the bracket onto
the wall with expansion screws by using a cross screwdriver, as shown in Figure 4-7:

※ 4.3 External ground connection
Ground terminal connection steps:
① The external grounding terminal is located in the lower right side of the inverter.
② Fix the grounding terminal to the PE wire with a proper tool and lock the grounding ter-
minal to the grounding hole in the lower right side of the inverter, as shown in Figure 4-9.
③ The cross-sectional area of the external grounding cable is 4mm².
Danger
Do not connect the N-wire as a protective ground wire to the inverter casing. Otherwise,
it may cause electric shock.
Attention
Good grounding is good for resisting surge voltage shock and improving EMI perfor-
mance. Inverters must be well-grounded.
For a system with only one inverter, the PE cable needs to be grounded.
For a multi-inverter system, all inverters PE wires need to be connected to the same
grounding copper bar to ensure equipotential bonding.
Figure 4-9 Grounding terminal connection
4 Installation

※ 4.4 Electrical Connection
Danger
A high voltage in the conductive part of the inverter may cause an electric shock. When
installing the inverter, make sure that the AC and DC sides of the inverter are completely
de-energized.
Warning
Do not ground the positive or negative pole of the PV string, otherwise it will cause seri-
ous damage to the inverter.
Warning
Static may cause damage to the electronic components of the inverter. Anti- static mea-
sures should be taken during installation and maintenance.
Attention
Do not use other brands or other types of terminals other than the terminals in the ac-
cessory package. Sunways has the right to refuse all damages caused by the mixed-use
of terminals.
Attention
Moisture and dust can damage the inverter, ensure the cable gland is securely tightened
during installation. The warranty claim will be invalidated if the inverter is damaged as a
result of a poorly connected cable connector.
Attention
For AU market, Inverters should not be installed in multiple phase con󽗉gurations.
1. The following must be considered when making electrical connections to the inverter:
① Disconnect the AC breaker switch on the grid side.
② The DC switch of the inverter must be turned to the "OFF" position.
③ For best practice, ensure PV modules of the same model and speci󽗉cations are con-
nected in each string.
④ Make sure the maximum output voltage of each PV string does not exceed 600V.

② Peel o󽗈 the DC cable insulation sleeve for 7 mm, as shown in Figure 4-10:
Wire Traverse area 2.5-4mm27mm
③ Disassemble the connector in the accessory bag, as shown in Figure 4-11:
④ Insert the DC cable through the DC connector nut into the metal terminal and press the
terminal with a professional crimping plier (pull back the cable with some power to check if
the terminal is well connected to the cable), as shown in Figure 4-12:

⑤ Insert the positive and negative cables into the corresponding positive and negative con-
nectors, pull back the DC cable to ensure that the terminal is tightly attached in the connec-
tor.
⑥ Use an open-end wrench to screw the nut to the end to ensure that the terminal is well
sealed, as shown in Figure 4-13:
3. Insert the positive and negative connectors into the inverter DC input terminals respec-
tively, a click sound should be heard if the terminals are well connected, as shown in Fig-
ure 4-14:

Warning
① Before assembling the DC connector, make sure that the cable polarity is correct.
② Use a multimeter to measure the voltage of the DC input string, verify the polarity of
the DC input cable, and ensure that each string voltage is within 600V.

5. System Layout of Units without Integrated DC Switch
① The DC switch of Sunways inverter is optional. Local standards or codes may require
that PV systems are 󽗉tted with an external DC switch on the DC side. The DC switch must
be able to safely disconnect the open-circuit voltage of the PV array plus a safety reserve
of 20%. Install a DC switch to each PV string to isolate the DC side of the inverter.
② The DC switch has to be certi󽗉ed by AS 60947.3:2018 and AS/NZS IEC 60947.1:2020. The
Max.current of the DC switch matched by STS-3-6KTL inverter is no less than 30A and for
STS-3-6KTL-P inverter is no less than 40A. We recommend the following electrical connec-
tion,as shown in Figure 4-15:
4 Installation

28 29
4.4.2 Connection of AC output
Before connecting to the power grid, make sure that the power grid voltage and frequen-
cy meet the requirements of the inverter. See technical parameters for details.
This inverter includes an integrated residual current device (RCD).
If an external residual current device (RCD) is used, a device of type (A/AC etc.) should be
used, with a tripping current of 300mA or higher.
The recommended cable and AC switch for the Sunways STS 3-6kW series single phase
inverter are shown in the following table:

Note
1. The 4G and GPRS version module does not need to be con󽗉gured.
2. The WiFi version module needs to be con󽗉gured to the router for the 󽗉rst installation.
If the router name or password are changed, the WiFi dongle will need to be recon󽗉g-
ured. For details, please refer to the [QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE] which is attached to
the accessory bag.
3. If DHCP is enabled on the router, the LAN version module does not need to be con󽗉g-
ured. Otherwise, please refer to the [QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE] which is attached to
the accessory bag.

※ 5.1 Start the Inverter
When starting the inverter, follow these steps:
① Turn on the AC breaker 󽗉rst (close the AC circuit breaker).
② Turn on the DC switch in the bottom. If the PV string voltage higher than the inverter
start-up voltage, the inverter will start.
③ When both AC and DC power supply are normal, the inverter is ready to start. The in-
verter will initiate checking its internal parameters and grid parameters, if it is within the
range, the green light on the left side of the screen begins to 󽗊ash, and the “Waiting”
message will be displayed on the OLED display.
④ After self-checking completed, the inverter will start generating electricity, the green
light will remain on, and the OLED display will display real-time power information.
※ 5.2 Stop the Inverter
When turning o󽗈 the inverter, please follow the steps below:
① Turn o󽗈 the AC breaker 󽗉rst.
② Wait 30 seconds and then turn the DC switch to the “OFF” position. At this time,
there is remaining power in the inverter capacitor. Wait for 5 minutes until the inverter is
completely de-energized before conducting any work on the inverter.
③ Disconnect the AC and DC cables.
