Installation Guide

Safety Precautions

• Turn off all power sources before installation.
• Use appropriate protective gear (gloves, goggles, insulated tools).
• Ensure proper ventilation and avoid installing in damp or flammable areas.
• Follow local electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines.

1. Mounting the Inverter

• Choose a dry, well-ventilated location, avoiding direct sunlight and moisture.

• Secure the inverter on a non-flammable vertical surface using strong wall anchors.

• Maintain at least 30 cm clearance around the unit for proper airflow.

2. Connecting Solar Panels

• 4 MPPT Channels allow multiple panel configurations.
• Connect solar panels in series or parallel to match the MPPT voltage range (recommended up to 500V DC).
• Use MC4 connectors for secure and weatherproof connections.
• Ensure correct polarity (+/-) connections to avoid damage.

3. Battery Connection (48V System Required)

• Use 48V LiFePO4 or lead-acid batteries (ensure compatibility).

• Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals securely using properly rated cables.

• Install a battery breaker or fuse for added protection.

• Configure battery settings on the inverter via LCD or software.

4. AC Input & Output Wiring

For Split-Phase (120V/240V) or Single-Phase (120V)

• Connect AC input terminals to the grid or generator if grid-tied operation is required.

• Connect AC output terminals to the home’s electrical panel or load distribution box.

• Use the correct cable gauge based on load requirements (typically 8-10 AWG).

• Ensure proper grounding for safety and system stability.

5. System Testing & Configuration

• Double-check all connections before turning on the inverter.

• Power on the inverter and check the LCD screen for errors.

• Configure system parameters (battery type, voltage, charging modes).

• Test solar charging, AC input, and load operation.

6. Remote Monitoring Setup (WiFi)

• Install the WiFi module.

• Connect the inverter to the monitoring mobile app or cloud platform.

• Check system performance remotely and set notifications for system alerts.
