ring terminals to your battery wires and secure it to the battery terminal block with the bolts properly
tightened. Refer to battery cable size for torque value. Make sure polarity at both the battery and the
inverter is correctly connected and ring terminals are secured to the battery terminals.
CAUTION!! Do not place anything between the flat 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 final DC connection or closing DC breaker/disconnector, be sure
positive (+) must be connected to positive (+) and negative (-) must be connected to negative
(-).
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 32A
for 4KW and 50A for 6KW.
CAUTION!! There are two terminal blocks with “IN” and “OUT” markings. Please do NOT mis-connect input
and output connectors.
4. This inverter is equipped with dual-output. There are four terminals (L1/N1, L2/N2) available on output
port. It’s set up through LCD program or monitoring software to turn on and off the second output. Refer
to “LCD setting” section for the details.

CLEARANCE AND MAINTENANCE FOR ANTI-DUST KIT
Overview
Every inverter is already installed with anti-dusk kit from factory. This kit also keeps dusk from your inverter
and increases product reliability in harsh environment.
Step 2: Then, dustproof case can be removed and take out air filter foam as shown in below chart.
Step 3: Clean air filter foam and dustproof case. After clearance, re-assemble the dust-kit back to the inverter.
NOTICE: The anti-dust kit should be cleaned from dust every one month.
45
BATTERY EQUALIZATION
Equalization function is added into charge controller. It reverses the buildup of negative chemical effects like
stratification, a condition where acid concentration is greater at the bottom of the battery than at the top.
Equalization also helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the plates. If left unchecked, this
condition, called sulfation, will reduce the overall capacity of the battery. Therefore, it’s recommended to
equalize battery periodically.
When to Equalize
In float stage, when the setting equalization interval (battery equalization cycle) is arrived, or equalization is
active immediately, the controller will start to enter Equalize stage.
However, in Equalize stage, when battery equalized time is expired and battery voltage doesn’t rise to battery
equalization voltage point, the charge controller will extend the battery equalized time until battery voltage
achieves battery equalization voltage. If battery voltage is still lower than battery equalization voltage when
battery equalized timeout setting is over, the charge controller will stop equalization and return to float stage.
