1. ABOUT THIS MANUAL
1.1 Purpose
This manual describes how to assemble, install and operate the units and how to troubleshoot of this unit.
Please read this manual carefully before installation and operation. Keep this manual for future reference.
1.2 Scope
This manual provides safety and installation guidelines as well as information on tools and wiring.
3.Do not disassemble the unit personally. Take it to a qualified service center to repair.
4.To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wiring before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning, turning off the unit will not reduce this risk.
5. WARNING : Disconnecting all power supply before any maintaining or cleaning ,please noted that
if you only turn off the unit are not safe enough.
6. WARNING: Only qualified service persons are allowed to operate this product. If fault not solved
after following troubleshooting table, please send this inverter back to local dealer or service center
for maintenance.
7. WARNING: Because this inverter is non-isolated, only three types of PV modules are adaptable:
single crystalline, poly crystalline with class A-rated and CIGS modules. To avoid any malfunction,
do not connect any PV modules which likely with current leakage flow to the inverter. For example,
grounded PV modules may cause current leakage flow to the inverter. When using CIGS modules,
please be sure of NO grounding.
8. CAUTION: It’s requested to use PV junction box with surge protection. Otherwise, it may cause
damage on inverter.

User manual x 1
Communication cable x 1
4.2 Preparation
Please remove the two screws on the back cover of the device before opening it.
3. Install this inverter at a visible place in order to allow the LCD display to be read at all times.
4. For proper air circulation and dissipate heat ,make sure there is 20 cm distance from the two side,
50 cm distance from bottom of the unit.
5.The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 55°C to ensure optimal operation.
7. Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the diagram to guarantee sufficient heat
dissipation and to have enough space for collecting wires.
Suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-combustible surface only
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for
battery connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper cable as below.

4.6 PV Connection
CAUTION:It is forbidden for inverter to share the same solar panel group.
CAUTION: Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit breaker
between inverter and PV modules.
WARNING: It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for
PV module connection .To reduce risk of injury ,please use the proper cable size as below.
WARNING: Because this inverter is non - isolated, only three types of PV modules are acceptable :
single-crystalline, poly crystalline with class A-rated and CIGS modules .To avoid any malfunction,
do not connect any PV modules with possible current leakage to the inverter. For example,
grounded PV modules will cause current leakage to the inverter. When using CIGS modules,
please be sure NO grounding.
CAUTION: It’s requested to use PV junction box with surge protection. Otherwise, it will cause
damage on inverter when lightning occurs on PV modules.
PV Module Selection:
When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters:
