SUN FLUX USER MANUAL & INSTALLATION GUIDE

OFF GRID / HYBRID SOLAR HOT WATER CONTROLLER

WARNING

Be sure to read the Sun Flux user manual & installation guide thoroughly before beginning installation,

failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock or death.

electrician following all relevant AS/NZS safety standards and local regulations of your state/territory or country

on installing this equipment.

Note: the Sun Flux is not an inverter and delivers a modified DC output.

1: Check and make sure the Sun Flux is not damaged in any way before beginning installation.

2: Connect 4 solar panels in series with a minimum output of 120volts/vmp 8amps

and a maximum output of 150volts/vmp 10amps or 185volts/voc.

Note: To size the solar array correctly you must divide the voltage/vmp of the solar array by the

resistance/ohm’s of the element to determine the maximum current you will receive, then you can

multiply the current by the voltage/vmp of the solar array to determine the maximum wattage you

will receive.

Using Standard AC elements 3.6KW 240v 16ohm’s element, 3.0KW 240v 19ohm’s element, 2.4KW 240v

24ohm’s element.

3:

Turn off all PV solar power and AC grid power then test to confirm isolation before beginning installation.

Installation must be carried out by a licensed

4: Attach the Sun Flux securely in place using appropriate fixtures.

5: Connect the PV solar array to a 10amp DC circuit breaker, then from the DC circuit breaker to the Sun Flux

using MC4 connectors.

Note:The Sun Flux has reverse polarity protection for up to 10 seconds.

Be sure to connect the MC4 plugs from the PV solar array correctly or reverse polarity can occur

damaging the Sun Flux and the protections provided voiding all warranty.

6:

Remove the protective cover from the terminal block on the base of the Sun Flux.

7: Connect the AC grid input wires to the AC grid input on the base of the Sun Flux in accordance with the

instructions below terminal block.

8.A: Single element tank.

Connect the load output of the Sun Flux directly to the standard single element electric hot water tank using the

standard AC grid input connection on the tank..

The selector switch on the base of the Sun Flux will give you the ability to switch back to AC grid power

if required.

No circuit breaker is required between the output of the Sun Flux and the hot water tank.
