Introduction
Example System
Figure 1 shows the basic components used in a complete Alino system. For the highest level
of versatility, the system should be equipped with either utility grid or generator input as well as
a PV array.
Other system architectures are possible beyond those shown here. A system integrator can
advise on the best design for a particular requirement.

Battery
To install batteries for this product:
1.
Assemble the batteries in series or parallel as needed for the system nominal voltage.
Install all cables and interconnects.
CAUTION: Hazard to Equipment
Do not reverse the polarity of the positive (+) and negative (–) battery cables.
This will destroy the product. Check the polarity of all connections before applying
battery power.
Do not place any other object or hardware between the inverter terminal surface and the
ring terminal. Overheating may result. This includes antioxidant compound, which must
be applied when connections are complete. See Figure 8 on the next page.
NOTE:
Cables and ring terminals should be sized according to Table 1 on the next page..
Install DC overcurrent protection between this product and the battery. This is
required for both safety reasons and regulatory compliance. A manual disconnect
device may also be required. These devices should be sized according to the cable
size (see Table 1).
Battery management system (BMS) communications, if required, are connected to the
designated BMS port. See Figure 9 on the next page.
For model ATL3024E, minimum recommended battery capacity is 100 Ah. For model
ATL5048E, it is 200 Ah.
2.
Insert the positive (+) and negative (–) battery cables into the cable opening as shown in
Figure 7. Install the ring terminals on the studs as shown. Observe the polarity.
