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.
