SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS
/ ATTENTION: This chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and
save the manual.
1. Before using the equipment, read the instructions and caution notices on the inverter.
2. CAUTION - Use batteries suitable for the power of your inverter. Whatever their technology, the
sizing of the accumulators must be correct.
3. Do not disassemble the equipment by yourself. Contact qualified service personnel for repair.
Incorrect assembly may pose a risk of electrocution or fire and any failure resulting from this will
not be covered by the warranty.
4. For any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electrocution, disconnect all cables as a
precaution in the correct order.
5. NEVER charge frozen batteries.
6. For optimal operation of the inverter/charger, please take into account the characteristics of the
recommended cables with the correct cross-sections and terminals.
7. Be very careful when working with metal tools near batteries. If tools fall on the batteries it can be
dangerous and could cause an electrical problem.
8. Strictly follow the installation process when you want to disconnect the AC and DC terminals. It is
imperative that the inverter is turned off when handling the AC terminals.
9. The use of a disconnector is recommended for connection to batteries. When connecting the
wiring, it will skip the spark and facilitate quick disconnection of the battery bank. Remember to
disconnect the solar panels before the batteries.
10. This inverter must always be connected to the ground.
11. Be careful not to confuse the inputs and outputs of the inverter, as this could damage the
equipment.
12. Attention!
This inverter should only be installed and handled by specialized personnel.
INTRODUCTION
This equipment is a multifunction inverter/charger that combines functions of inverter, solar charger and
AC battery charger to provide uninterrupted power. Its simple display offers the user a convenient way to
configure the inverter functions, such as battery charging current, charger priority and load power supply
or input voltage depending on the different applications.

Unpacking and inspection
Before installation, please inspect the equipment. Make sure there are no damaged items. The
following should be included in the shipment:
^ Must Solar Inverter x 1
^ User Manual x 1
^Communications cable x 1
^Software CD x 1
Preparation
To make all the connections it is not necessary to remove any cover from the inverter. Once the
battery and AC connections are made, the trims can be used to cover these connections. Removing the
top cover voids the product warranty!
Inverter mounting
Consider the following points before selecting the inverter installation location:
At least
300mm „
• The recommended
position is vertical.
• Make sure you have enough space since the metal piece
on which we will hang the inverter is not at the upper end of
it.
6
Battery connection
CAUTION: For safe operation before connecting batteries, install
a current disconnector between the batteries and the inverter.
WARNING!
For panel wiring, you must respect the maximum input voltage supported by the inverter regulator;
overvoltage in the solar field can seriously damage the charge regulator.
WARNING!
For inverters with MPPT regulator , never exceed the maximum voltage in each series of panels. The
open circuit sum of the panels that make up each series must not exceed 145VOC in low temperature
conditions.
Insert the battery cable into the terminal and make sure it is firmly attached, also take into account
making a correct polarity connection between the batteries and the inverter-charger. We recommend
first making the connection inside the inverter and then on the battery terminal, or using a current
disconnector.
WARNING: Electrocution
TO Installation must be carried out with extreme care due to the high current intensity
of the batteries.
ATTENTION!! Do not apply any anti-rust substance to the battery terminals once
TO they are connected, instead use Vaseline before connecting. ATTENTION!! Before
making the last DC connection or opening the DC switch make sure the polarity is
correct.
7
AC input and output connection
ATTENTION!! Before connecting the AC input, please install a circuit breaker between the mains input
and the inverter. This system will allow you an emergency disconnection in the event of any problem.
ATTENTION!! There is a silkscreen on the terminals with the markings “INPUT” (Input) and “OUTPUT”
(Output). Keep these instructions in mind to avoid making a mistake when connecting the input and
output.
1. Before connecting the AC inputs and outputs, be sure to turn off the inverter with the bottom switch.
2. Remove the insulating protector from the connectors. Remember to leave room to facilitate the
connection.
3. Connect the AC connection cables taking into account the different polarities to the terminal blocks.
Remember to connect the ground wire first.

green) N → NEUTRAL (blue)

Connection of photovoltaic (PV) modules
ATTENTION: Before connecting the photovoltaic modules, make sure that the battery is connected to
the inverter. Connecting the panels before the batteries can damage the regulator . WARNING! All
connections should be made by qualified personnel. You can use a fuse and a disconnector to quickly
and easily disconnect the modules.
Solar charger
Minimum voltage 60 Vdc
The efficiency of photovoltaic modules will increase as the voltage is closer to the best Vmp. (Note:
* Vmp: maximum panel voltage point)
With MPPT regulator you can use any type of panels as long as the voltage range in panels is always
within the limits set by each inverter model. If we have to make parallels to add more total power, all
branches must operate at the same voltage.
5 KW ^ 80A x 50V = 4000W Distribution in pairs for 72c panels and in trios for 60c panels.

On off
Once the device is properly installed, turn the on/off switch to the ON position. (It is located at
the bottom right of the computer).
This button only acts on the 230V power output of the inverter. Both the charge regulator
and the external 230V network will be able to charge the batteries even if the inverter is turned off
with this switch.
If we are going to be away for a long period of time and there will be no connected consumption,
we can turn off the inverter from the lower switch. When it is off, it will keep the batteries
charged if you have the panels connected.
