1.0 Introduction

Dear customer, thank you for choosing this quality Phocos product. The Any-Grid™ pure sine wave hybrid inverter /
charger series has numerous outstanding features and use-cases such as:

 Function as purely Off-Grid inverter for applications with no AC power source
 Function as solar enabled (optional) uninterruptible power supply (UPS) functionality for intermittent or

unstable AC sources

 Function as grid-connected or AC-generator-connected inverter to reduce energy demand from the AC

source by prioritizing solar and/or battery power, thus saving energy costs

 Grid injection of excess energy possible where it is legal, with or without a connected battery. Accidental

injection is prevented by requirement of a PIN code for activation

 Both neutral (N) and line (L) wires of the AC input are automatically disconnected (break-before-make relays)

from the AC output when the Any-Grid operates in Off-Grid mode

 High-voltage MPPT solar charge controller allows the connection of more solar panels in series (compared to

other Off-Grid solar charge controllers), typically eliminating the need for expensive combiner boxes

 Battery charging from an AC source such as the public power grid or a genset
 Compatibility with multiple battery types including lead-acid (gel, AGM and liquid electrolyte) and Lithium-

based batteries such as LiFePO4

 Battery-free mode: if an AC source is available, photovoltaic (PV / solar) power can be used as first priority,

even with no battery attached

 Removable wired display unit can be installed in a different room (up to 20 m / 66 ft cable can be used)
 All-in-one hybrid unit allows simple and fast installation, and easy configuration
 Monitor the unit in real-time with the PhocosLink BLE smartphone App

This manual describes the assembly, installation, operation and troubleshooting of this unit.

Functional Overview

This pure sine wave hybrid inverter charger with solar charge controller (MPPT) can provide power to connected
loads by utilizing PV power, AC power and battery power. Most connections are optional, but there must be at least
one power source (AC or PV):

Removable Display

Fig. 1: System Overview

This unit has one each of the following power connections: battery, PV, AC input, AC output. The unit is designed to
provide continuous power from PV / battery or an AC source, depending on the set priority. Independently, the
priority for charging the battery can be set (the battery can only be charged from AC when the unit is not working in
Off-Grid mode). The switching time between Grid (also valid when an AC generator is used) and Off-Grid modes is
only 10 milliseconds (typical) when a single Any-Grid unit is used. Timers can be used to change the priorities based
on hourly time slots, this is useful for areas where grid power have differing costs throughout the day. The integrated
maximum power point tracking (MPPT) solar charge controller can handle particularly high PV voltages, allowing for
a simpler installation and lower costs than most Off-Grid solar charge controllers. Typically, no combiner boxes or
string fuses / diodes are required.

The pure sine wave AC output and the surge power capability (twice the continuous power rating) assure all types of
AC loads can be powered. Ensure that the peak power requirement of the loads is below the surge power capability
of this inverter.

Two special functions allow even more flexibility: Battery-Free mode and Grid Injection.
In Battery-Free mode, no battery is connected to the unit and an AC source must be present. The unit will then

provide as much power from PV as is available to supply loads, adding any missing power from the AC source. If there
is more PV power available than can be utilized by the loads, then the PV power is reduced to ensure no power feed­in into the grid.

The Grid Injection functionality allows feeding any excess power into the grid. If there is excess PV power beyond
what is utilized by the load and for battery charging, this power can be fed into the public grid to take advantage of
net metering or feed-in tariffs. In this way all the PV power can be used even if the battery is full and the loads do not
require all the available PV power. Feeding into the grid may be prohibited in some areas so this function is locked by
a PIN code to avoid accidental grid injection.

Installing Multiple Units in Parallel or 3-Phase Configuration

Introduction

This entire chapter is only relevant if using more than one Any-Grid unit. Multiple Any-Grid units of the same model
number can be used either in parallel on a single phase, or in a 3-phase configuration with a common neutral. All
units must be connected to the same battery bank. This chapter is an addition to all other sections above in the
chapter “Installation”, please adhere to all guidelines and safety instructions accordingly.

Parallel operation on a single phase is possible with up to 9 units.
Alternatively, 3-phase configuration is possible, whereby at least one unit must be installed on each of the 3 phases

and a maximum of 7 units on a phase. The total number of units may not exceed 9 in any case.

Mounting the Units

When installing multiple units, please keep a minimum distance between the units as shown in Fig. 13.

Fig. 13: Remote display mounting hole locations

Connections

Use the cable cross-sections, tightening torque and connectors as described for a single unit.
Battery Connection: Make sure to use a separate DC fuse or circuit breaker for each unit. Instead of connecting each

unit to the battery, connect each positive battery cable to a bus bar, and each negative battery cable to a second bus
bar. These bus bars are then connected to the battery terminals. The cross-section of the bus bars, and the cables
from the bus bars to the battery terminals should equal the recommended battery cable cross-section per unit, times
the number of units connected to it.

The minimum recommended battery capacity for lead-based batteries is 200 Ah per connected Any-Grid. For
example, in a system with 3 units, the battery bank should have a capacity of at least 600 Ah.

AC Connections: Regarding AC input and output, please also follow the same principle. Use the wiring cross-section
and circuit breaker as defined for each individual unit, then attach those wires to bus bars. The bus bars from the AC
input are then connected to the AC source, the bus bars from the AC output are connected to the distribution panel
and loads.

PV Connections: Use the PV connection as described for individual units. Each unit must be connected to its own PV
array and must not have any electrical contact to any other units’ PV arrays.

CAUTION: Please install at least a breaker at the battery terminals and AC input of every individual Any-Grid
unit. This will ensure each unit can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from
over-current of battery or AC input. Use the breaker ratings as described in the chapters “Battery Connection”
and “AC Input and AC Output Connection”.

www.phocos.com 12 | P a g e

CAUTION: All inverters must share the same battery bank. Otherwise, the inverters will go into fault mode.
WARNING: Ensure all circuit breakers are open / disabled before wiring the units so that there is no voltage on

the battery, AC and PV wires.

General rules for the communications connections (see Fig. 2  ⓭ Parallel Communication Port and ⓮ Current
Sharing Port):

1. Every unit must have both parallel communication ports occupied. These ensure phase synchronization and
synchronization of parameters between the units.

2. Current sharing ports must only be occupied for those units where there is more than one unit on that
particular phase. If there is only one unit on a phase, then current sharing cables must not be used. These
current sharing cables ensure that all units on one phase operate at the same AC power output level.

3. Every parallel communication or current sharing cable used, must either be connected directly between two
neighboring units, or with a maximum of one unit between them.

4. Connecting parallel communication cables, assuming units are numbered from 1 to ≤ 9 from left to right:

a) Connect the left black parallel communication port of unit 1 to the right port on unit 2.
b) Connect the right port of unit 1 to the left port of unit 3.
c) Connect the left port of unit 2 to the to the right port of unit 4.

Commissioning
Parallel in Single Phase

CAUTION: Before continuing, ensure the wiring is correct according to the previous chapter, particularly that
all units are connected to the same neutral wire. Ensure that all AC input breakers and AC output breakers are
open on each individual Any-Grid unit and that each unit is turned off with its AC output on/off switch. Ensure
each unit is disconnected from PV, but connected to the battery via its battery breaker / fuse. The battery
breaker must be closed / inserted to ensure each unit can function for commissioning.

Follow the following steps once the wiring is completed.

1. Turn on one unit with its AC output on/off switch

2. In the Settings Menu (see chapter “Device Operation Settings”) navigate to settings menu 28.

3. Turn the AC output on/off switch off to deactivate the AC output. The unit will remain in Stand-By mode for
under a minute and the display will stay on for this time.

4. Set the menu number 28 setting from the default value “Single” (SIG) to “Parallel” (PAL). This will not be
possible if the unit is not turned off as described in the previous step.

5. Once the setting is confirmed, wait for the unit to shut down automatically, the display will then turn off
completely.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 with each further unit connected in parallel.

7. Now turn on each unit. One unit will automatically and randomly be defined as the master unit and will
show the master screen, all other units will show the slave screen on their display:

Screen of Master unit Screen of Slave unit(s)

8. Switch on the AC input breaker of each unit in quick succession, if an AC source is installed. If this takes too
long, then some units may show fault 82 on their screen, but they will restart automatically and upon
detecting a valid AC input, will function normally.

9. It’s better to have all inverters connect to utility at the same time. If not, it will display fault 82 in following­order inverters. However, these inverters will automatically restart. If detecting AC connection, they will work
normally.

Screen of Master unit

Screen of Slave unit(s)

10. If there are no further faults displayed, the parallel system installation is complete. The breakers on the AC
output of each unit can be switched on and then loads may be connected.

3-Phase, One or more Units per Phase

CAUTION: Before continuing, ensure the wiring is correct according to the previous chapter, particularly that
all units are connected to the same neutral wire. Ensure that all AC input breakers and AC output breakers are
open on each individual Any-Grid unit and that each unit is turned off with its AC output on/off switch. Ensure
each unit is disconnected from PV, but connected to the battery via its battery breaker / fuse. The battery
breaker must be closed / inserted to ensure each unit can function for commissioning.

Follow the following steps once the wiring is completed.

1. Turn on one unit on phase 1 with its AC output on/off switch

2. In the Settings Menu (see chapter “Device Operation Settings”) navigate to settings menu 28.

3. Turn the AC output on/off switch off to deactivate the AC output. The unit will remain in Stand-By mode for
under a minute and the display will stay on for this time.

4. Set the menu number 28 setting from the default value “Single” (SIG) to “Phase L1” (3P1). This will not be
possible if the unit is not turned off as described in the previous step.

5. Once the setting is confirmed, wait for the unit to shut down automatically, the display will then turn off
completely.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 with each further unit connected on the same phase 1. Then repeat steps 1 to 5 for each
unit in phase 2 and, instead of choosing “Phase L1” in step 4, choose “Phase L2” (3P2). Then repeat steps 1 to
5 for each unit in phase 3 and, instead of choosing “Phase L1” in step 4, choose “Phase L3” (3P3).

7. Now turn on each unit. The units will show the following in their respective screens:

Screen of Units on Phase L1 Screen of Units on Phase L2 Screen of Units on Phase L3

8. Switch on the AC input breaker of each unit in quick succession, if an AC source is installed. If this takes too
long, then some units may show fault 82 on their screen, but they will restart automatically and upon
detecting a valid AC input, will function normally.

9. If a valid AC input source is detected and the three phases match with the with unit settings in settings
menu number 28, they will work normally. Otherwise, the symbol will flash and Grid Mode will not

function. In this case, check that the order or the three phases is correct. If necessary, turn off all units and
then switch the setting in settings menu number 28 for all Phase L2 units to Phase L3 and vice-versa by
following steps 1 to 5. Then continue with step 7. The displays will now show the following:

Screen of Units on Phase L1

10. If there are no further faults displayed, the 3-phase system installation is complete. The breakers on the AC
output of each unit can be switched on and then loads may be connected.

this power is used to supply power
to the loads instead. The battery is
not discharged (Grid mode).

Solar and battery will provide

source can only charge the
battery if in Grid, Stand-By or
Fault modes. In Off-grid mode
only solar / PV power can
charge the battery.

It is recommended not to
choose “Only Solar” if an AC
source is available because
the self-consumption of the
Any-Grid unit is supplied from
the battery (if connected). If
there are long periods without
sunshine (ex. snow), the unit
may shut down due to low

Depending on the battery type used, its maximum discharge current
may be lower than what the Any-Grid unit requires to deliver its full
power to AC loads. If set to “Disabled” the unit will draw as much
current from the battery as necessary to supply the loads. If
overloaded by too much load power, settings menu 23 determines if
the unit may switch to the AC input by-pass to deliver more power or
protect itself by turning off permanently (until manual restart) or
temporarily (depends on settings menu 06).

If this setting is not “Disabled” then the unit will allow a maximum of
the set discharge current. If this limit is surpassed, the unit will switch
to the AC input by-pass temporarily to provide more power to the
loads. If no AC source is available, then the unit will shut down for 5
minutes.
