to drop a tool to spark or short circuit batteries or other electrical parts and could cause an
explosion.
9. Please strictly follow installation procedure when you want to disconnect AC or DC terminals.
Please refer to INSTALLATION section of this manual for the details.
10. Fuses (1 piece of 150A,63VDC for 2KW and 3KW) are provided as over-current protection for
the battery supply.
11. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS -This inverter/charger should be connected to a permanent
grounded wiring system. Be sure to comply with local requirements and regulation to install
this inverter.
12. NEVER cause AC output and DC input short circuited. Do NOT connect to the mains when DC
input short circuits.
13. Warning!! Only qualied service persons are able to service this device. If errors still persist
after following troubleshooting table, please send this inverter/charger back to local dealer or
service center for maintenance.

INSTALLATION
Unpacking and Inspection
Before installation, please inspect the unit. Be sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. You
should have received the following items inside of package:
The unit x 1
User manual x 1
Communication cable x 1
USB cable x 1
Software CD X 1
Preparation
Before connecting all wirings, please take off bottom cover by removing two screws as shown below.

Install the unit by screwing three screws.
2~3KW
Battery Connection
CAUTION: To safety operation and regulation compliance, it’s requested to install a separate DC
over-current protector or disconnect device between battery and inverter. It may not be requested to
have a disconnect device in some applications, however, it’s still requested to have over-current
protection installed. Please refer to typical amperage in below table as required fuse or beaker size.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efcient operation

to use appropriate cable for battery connection. To reduce risk of injury,
please use the proper recommended cable and terminal size as below.

3. Insert the ring terminal of battery cable atly into battery connector of inverter and make sure
the bolts are tightened with torque of 2-3 Nm. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the
inverter/charge is correctly connected and ring terminals are tightly screwed to the battery
terminals.

CAUTION!! Do not place anything between the at part of the inverter terminal and the
ring terminal. Otherwise, overheating may occur.
CAUTION!! Do not apply anti-oxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are
connected tightly.
CAUTION!! Before making the nal DC connection or closing DC breaker/disconnector,
be sure DC (+) must be connected to DC (+) and DC (-) must be connected to DC (-).
AC Input/Output Connection
CAUTION!! Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker
between inverter and AC input power source. This will ensure the inverter can be securely
disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input. The
recommended spec of AC breaker is 20A for 2KW, 32A for 3KW.
CAUTION!! There are two terminal blocks with “IN” and “OUT” markings. Please do NOT-misconnect
Input and output connectors.
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualied personnel.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efcient operation to use appropriate cable
for AC input connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as
below.

WARNING:
Be sure to that AC power source is disconnected before attempting to hardwire it to the
unit.
4. Then, insert AC output wires according to polarities indicated on terminal block and tighten
terminal screws. Be sure to connect PE protective conductor ( )rst.

CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner are required at least 2~3 minutes to restart
because it's required to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits. If a power
shortage occurs and recovers in a short time, it will cause damage to your connected appliances.
To prevent this kind of damage, please check manufacturer of air conditioner if it's equipped with
time-delay function before installation. Otherwise, this inverter/charger will trig overload fault and
cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes it still causes internal damage to the air
conditioner.
PV Connection
CAUTION: Before connecting to PV modules, please install separately a DC circuit breaker between
inverter and PV modules.
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualied personnel.
WARNING! It's very important for system safety and efcient operation to use appropriate cable
for PV module connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size
as below.
