(15)Do not operate the inverter when the device is running .

Warning

(16)Risk of electric shock!

● Please keep the user manual properly. When operating equipment, in addition to
following the general precautions in this document, follow the specific safety
instructions. We will not be liable for any consequence caused by the violation of the
safety operation regulations and design, production, and usage standards.
● Accessories only together with the inverter shipment are recommended here.
Otherwise may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to person.
● Make sure that existing wiring is in good condition and that wire is not undersized.
Do not disassemble any parts of inverter which are not mentioned in installation
guide. It contains no user-serviceable parts. See Warranty for instructions on
obtaining service. Attempting to service the inverter yourself may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire and will void your warranty.
● Keep away from flammable, explosive materials to avoid fire disaster.
● The installation place should be away from humid or corrosive substance.
● Authorized service personnel must use insulated tools when installing or working with
this equipment.
● Never touch either the positive or negative pole of PV connecting device. Strictly
prohibit touching both of them at the same time.
● The unit contains capacitors that remain charged to a potentially lethal voltage after
the MAINS, battery and PV supply has been disconnected.
● Hazardous voltage will present for up to 5 minutes after disconnection from power
supply.
● CAUTION-RISK of electric shock from energy stored in capacitor. Never operate on
the inverter couplers, the MAINS cables, Battery cables, PV cables or the PV generator
when power is applied. After switching off the PV, battery and Mains, always wait for
5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before unplugging DC,
battery in plug and MAINS couplers.
● When accessing the internal circuit of inverter, it is very important to wait 5 minutes
before operating the power circuit or demounting the electrolyte capacitors inside the
device. Do not open the device before hand since the capacitors require time
 sufficiently discharge!
● Surge protection devices (SPDs) for PV installation.

Warning

when the PV power system is installed.

(18)The grid connected inverter is not fitted with SPDs in both PV input
side and MAINS side.

● Lightning will cause a damage either from a direct strike or from surges due to a
nearby strike.
● Induced surges are the most likely cause of lightning damage in majority or
installations, especially in rural areas where electricity is usually provided by long
overhead lines. Surge may be included on both the PV array conduction and the AC
cables leading to the building.
● Specialists in lightning protection should be consulted during the end use application.
Using appropriate external lightning protection, the effect of a direct lightning strike
into a building can be mitigated in a controlled way, and the lightning current can be
discharged into the ground.
● Installation of SPDs to protect the inverter against mechanical damage and excessive
stress include a surge arrester in case of a building with external lightning protection
system (LPS) when separation distance is kept.
● To protect the DC system, surge suppression device (SPD type2) should be fitted at
the inverter end of the DC cabling and at the array located between the inverter and
the PV generator, if the voltage protection level (VP) of the surge arresters is greater
than 1100V, an additional SPD type 3 required for surge protection for electrical
devices.
● To protect the AC system, surge suppression devices (SPD type2) should be fitted at
the main incoming point of AC supply (at the consumers cutout), located between the
inverter and the meter/distribution system;
● All DC cables should be installed to provide as short a run as possible, and positive
and negative cables of the string or main DC supply should be bundled together.
Avoiding the creation of loops in the system.
● Spark gap devices are not suitable to be used in DC circuits once conducting, they
won’t stop conducting until the voltage across their terminals is typically more than
30 volts.

⮚ Anti-Islanding Effect
Islanding effect is a special phenomenon that grid-connected PV system still supply
power to the nearby grid when the voltage loss is happened in the power system. It is
dangerous for maintenance personnel and the public.

Hybrid series inverter provide Active Frequency Drift(AFD) to prevent islanding effect.

⮚ PE Connection and Leakage Current

The end-use application shall monitor the protective conductor by residual current
operated protective device (RCD) with rated fault current Ifn≤240mA which automatically
disconnects the device in case of a fault.

The device is intended to connect to a PV generator with a capacitance limit of approx

700nf.

Please check the diagram above. The common batteries use is supported on default for
maximizing the system efficiency. The BMS cable should be connected to the master
inverter.
2) Connect the loads of the two inverters together first. It should be noted that the
grid power line and the load line of the two inverters should be roughly the
same length.

3) Make sure the CT Limiter sensor is installed properly. If the load is connected
outside the inverter, user need to choose common ct and make sure the CT ratio is
right (the default 90A ct ratio is 1:1000, no need to change). The common CT is only
needed to be connected to the master inverter. Please install CT on every unit’s
incoming electrical service wires on L1 and L2 (see diagram) when choosing
independent CT.

4) Please check the master and slave’s setting by screen and make sure all the setting
are same.

9.4.2.1. System setting/Page One
①Work Mode：
Users have three working modes to choose
from, Self Consumption, Peak Shift, and
Battery Priority.

②Advanced Mode：
There are four options here: Disable, Sell First Mode, Limited Consumption Mode and Zero Export Mode.
Disable: Only when users selects “Disable”, the three work modes (Self Consumption, Peak Shift, battery
priority) take effect. When the user selects the other three options (Sell First, Limit Consumption, Zero
Export), the three working modes are invalid.
Sell First: First consider selling electricity to the grid. In this mode the anti-reflux setting is automatically
disabled. The users can use this mode to sell back surplus solar power to grid. If time of use is enabled, the
battery power can also be sold to grid.
Limit Consumption: In this mode, the ct limiters are used to sense the grid power flow direction. The hybrid
inverter can be chosen to sell power or not sell power to grid. There is a CT Limit Power parameter available
in this mode. When the battery is needed to discharge to reduced the load consumption, the grid will cover the
parameter set part consumption firstly and the battery discharges energy to makes up the rest part. Other
conditions are similar to SELF CONSUME working mode.
Zero Export：In this mode, the ct limiters should be installed in the input of the inverter’s grid port. The
hybrid inverter will not sell power to grid. The user can use Zero export power parameter to ensure the inverter
won’t feed back power to grid.
③Backup Enable：When the Grid and PV are powered off, Enable the battery to supply power to the load,
default option is enable.
④Sell Enable：It means inverter allowed to generate electricity to the Grid.
⑤Grid Export Limit
Users can click to enter the numerical input interface.(not to be repected)

There are also some attributes of these mode: Global Grid Charge
Enable, PV Charge Only, Bat Charge On Priority , Time-of-use
Enable and 6 Time-of-use Slots.
Advanced Settings/First Page：
i Time-of-use Enable : There are 6 slots which can be
programmed. If grid charge is enable, the grid is used to power the load and charge the battery to target SOC at
specific bat power attribute value. If selling electricity to the grid enable, the battery will discharge to target
SOC at specific battery power attribute value.
ii Users need to check TOU Enable to enter the work mode of Time-of-use Enable。

Advanced Settings/Second Page：

i. Users have three advanced settings to choose from,

namely Global Grid Charge Enable, PV Charge Only
and Battery First.
Global Grid Charge Enable: It is a high level control
attribute of grid charge enable. If time of use function is
disabled, this attribute is used to judge whether or not to
charge the battery by grid. If time of use function is
enabled, the battery can be charged by grid only when
the time slot grid charge attribute is enabled.
PV Charge Only: If user don't want to use grid to
charge the battery in any time, please enable this attribute. The PV energy will be used first for the load, and
then the excess energy will be used to charge the battery. If the PV energy is insufficient, the battery will
power the load.
Battery First: If there will be a storm or other emergency, user can use this attribute to adjust the power
distribution priority. If this attribute is disabled, the solar power will cover the load on priority by default.
ii. User can sets CT Power Limit

11. Advanced Mode Operation Guide
11.1. Advanced Mode Introduction
The hybrid inverter can be programmed to control how and when to use grid
power.The Advanced mode allow management of flexible loads and time-of-use billing.
There are three advanced mode available: Sell First Mode, Limited Consumption
Mode and Zero Export Mode.

Sell First Mode:

In this mode the anti-reflux setting is automatically disabled.
The users can use this mode to sell back surplus solar power to grid. If time of use is
enabled, the battery power can also be sold to grid.

Limited Consumption Mode:

In this mode, the ct limiters are used to sense the grid power flow direction. The
hybrid inverter can be chosen to sell power or not sell power to grid. There is a CT Limit
Power parameter available in this mode.When the battery is needed to discharge to
reduced the load consumption,the grid will cover the parameter set part consumption
firstly and the battery discharges energy to makes up the rest part.Other conditions are
similar to SELF CONSUME working mode.

Zero export Mode:

In this mode, the ct limiters should be installed in the input of the inverter’s grid port.
The hybrid inverter will not sell power to grid. The user can use Zero export power
parameter to ensure the inverter won’t feed back power to grid.
There are also some attributes of these mode: Global Grid Charge Enable, PV
Charge Only, Bat Charge On Priority , Time-of-use Enable and 6 Time-of-use
Slots. The time slots parameters are shown in as below:

Global Grid Charge Enable:

It is a high level control attribute of grid charge enable. If time of use function is
disabled, this attribute is used to judge whether or not to charge the battery by grid. If
time of use function is enabled, the battery can be charged by grid only when the time
slot grid charge attribute is enabled.

PV Charge Only:
69
 If user don’t want to use grid to charge the battery in any time, please enable this
attribute.

Bat Charge On Priority:

If there will be a storm or other emergency, user can use this attribute to adjust the
power distribution priority. If this attribute is disabled, the solar power will cover the load
on priority by default.

6 Time-of-use Slots:
There are 6 slots which can be programmed. If grid charge/generator charge is
enable, the grid is used to power the load and charge the battery to target SOC at specific
bat power attribute value.
