2.1 Transporting
1. Disconnect all power cables if necessary.
2. Be careful not to damage the Solar Inverter while transporting.
3. Don‘t move the Solar Inverter upside down.
4. Please transport the Solar Inverter system only in the original packaging (to
protect against shock and impact).
2.2 Positioning
1. Do not put the Solar Inverter on rugged or declined surface.
2. Do not install the Solar Inverter system near water or in damp
environments.
3. Do not install the Solar Inverter system where it would be exposed to direct
sunlight or near heat.
4. Do not block off ventilation openings in the Solar Inverter system’s housing
and don’t leave objects on the top of the Solar Inverter.
5. Keep the Solar Inverter far away from heat emitting sources.
6. Do not expose it to corrosive gas.
7. Ambient temperature : 0℃ - 40℃
2.3 Installation
1. Connect the Solar Inverter system only to an earthed shockproof socket
outlet.
2. Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them.
1.3 Important Notices
1. Read instructions carefully before operating the Solar Inverter.
2. Solar Inverter power connect instruction should be followed.
3. Please don‘t open the case to prevent danger.
5. Retain the load within the rating of Solar Inverter to prevent faults.
6. Keep the Solar Inverter clean and dry.

2.4 Operation
3. CABLE CONNECTION
1. Do not disconnect the mains cable on the Solar Inverter system or the
building wiring socket outlet during operations since this would cancel the
protective earthing of the Solar Inverter system and of all connected loads.
2. The Solar Inverter has its own internal power source (batteries). The output
terminals may be live even when the Solar Inverter is not connected to the
AC supply.
3. Ensure that no fluids or other foreign objects can enter the Solar Inverter
system.
2.5 Maintenance and Service
1. Caution - risk of electric shock.
Even after the unit is disconnected from the mains power supply (building
wiring socket outlet), components inside the Solar Inverter system are still
connected to the battery and are still electrically live and dangerous. Before
carrying out any kind of servicing and/or maintenance, disconnect the
batteries and verify that no current is present.
2. Batteries may cause electric shock and have a high short-circuit current.
Please take the precautionary measures specified below and any other
measures necessary when working with batteries:
- remove wristwatches, rings and other metal objects
3.1 Inspection
1. The system may be installed and wired only by qualified electricians in
accordance with applicable safety regulations.
2. When installing the electrical wiring, please note the nominal amperage of
your incoming feeder.
3. Inspect the packaging carton and its content s fo r damage. Please inform
the transport agency immediately should you find signs of damage.
Please keep the packaging in a safe place for future use.
4. Please ensure that the incoming feeder is isolated and secured to prevent
it from being switched back on again.
3.2 Connection
1. Solar Inverter Input Connection
If the Solar Inverter is connected via the power cord, please use a proper
socket with protection against electric current, and pay attention to the
capacity of the socket.
2. Solar Inverter Output Connection
The output of this model is with socket-types only (NEMA or IEC). Simply
plug the load power cord to the output sockets to complete co nnection.
- use only tools with insulated grips and handles.

7.2 Normal Operation
There are two main loops when AC utility is normal: the AC loop and the
battery charging loop. The AC output power comes from AC utility input and
passes through static switch to support power to load. The battery charging
voltage comes from AC utility input and converted by AC/DC charger to
support battery-charging power.
