ABOUT THIS MANUAL Purpose This manual describes the assembly, installation, operation and troubleshooting of this unit. Please read this manual carefully before installations and operations. Keep this manual for future reference. Scope This manual provides safety and installation guidelines as well as information on tools and wiring. The following cases are not within the scope of warranty: (1) Out of warranty.
INTRODUCTION This is a multi-function inverter/charger, combining functions of inverter, solar charger and battery charger to offer uninterruptible power support with portable size. Its comprehensive LCD display offers user-congurable and easy-accessible button operation such as battery charging current, AC/solar charger priority, and acceptable input voltage based on different applications. Features Pure sine wave inverter Congurable input voltage range for home appliances and personal computers via LCD setting...
INSTALLATION Unpacking and Inspection 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 USB cable x 1 Software CD X 1 Preparation...
Install the unit by screwing three screws. 2~3KW Battery Connection CAUTION: To 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.
3. Insert the ring terminal of battery cable atly 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/charge is correctly connected and ring terminals are tightly screwed to the battery terminals.
→Ground (yellow-green) L→LINE (brown or black) N→Neutral (blue) WARNING: Be sure to that AC power source is disconnected before attempting to hardwire it to the unit. 4. Then, insert AC output wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten terminal screws.

Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules not exceeds max. PV array open circuit voltage of inverter. 2.
Solar panel installation schematic MPPT-60A MPPT-80A Final Assembly After connecting all wirings, please put bottom cover back by screwing two screws as shown below.
Communication Connection Please use supplied communication cable to connect to inverter and PC. Insert bundled CD into a computer and follow on-screen instruction to install the monitoring software. For the detailed software operation, please check user manual of software inside of CD. WARNING: It’s forbidden to use network cable as the communication cable to directly communicate with the PC port.
OPERATION Power ON/OFF Once the unit has been properly installed and the batteries are connected well, simply press On/Off switch (located on the button of the case) to turn on the unit. Operation and Display Panel The operation and display panel, shown in below chart, is on the front panel of the inverter. It includes three indicators, four function keys and a LCD display, indicating the operating status and input/output power information.
