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
Before connecting all wirings, please take off bottom cover by removing two screws as shown below.
Mounting the Unit
Consider the following points before selecting where to install:
⚫ Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction
materials.
⚫ Mount on a solid surface, indoor IP20, avoid direct sunlight
⚫ Install this inverter at eye level in order to allow the LCD
display to be read at all times.
⚫ For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance
of approx. 200 mm to the side and approx. 300 mm above
and below the unit.
⚫ The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 55°C
to ensure optimal operation.
⚫ The recommended installation position is to be adhered to
the wall vertically.
⚫ Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the
below diagram to guarantee sufficient heat dissipation and
to have enough space for removing wires.
SUITABLE FOR MOUNTING ON CONCRETE OR
OTHER NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE ONLY.

Install the unit by screwing three screws.
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. Please refer
to typical amperage in below table as required fuse or beaker size.
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified person.
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 recommended cable and terminal size as below.

Please follow below steps to implement battery connection:
1. Assemble battery ring terminal based on recommended battery cable and terminal size.
2. Connect all battery packs as below chart, It’s suggested to connect at least 100Ah capacity battery for
2KVA/3KVA model.

3. Insert the ring terminal of battery cable flatly 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.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation must be performed with care due to high battery voltage in series.
CAUTION!! Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal and the ring
terminal. Otherwise, overheating may occur.
CAUTION!! Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are
connected tightly.
CAUTION!! Before making the final DC connection or closing DC breaker/disconnector, be sure
DC (+) must be connected to DC (+) and DC (-) must be connected to DC (-).

AC Input/Output Connection
CAUTION!! Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between
inverter and AC input power source. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during
maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input. The recommended spec of AC breaker is 20A
for 2KVA, 32A for 3KVA.
CAUTION!! There are two terminal blocks with “IN” and “OUT” markings. Please do NOT-misconnect input
and output connectors.
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by qualified personnel.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for AC input
connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below.

Please follow below steps to implement AC input/output connection:
1. Before making AC input/output connection, be sure to open DC protector or disconnector first.
2. Remove insulation sleeve 10mm for six conductors. And shorten phase L and neutral conductor N 3 mm.
3. Insert AC input wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten the terminal screws. Be
sure to connect PE protective conductor ( ) first.
