Recommended wiring specification and breaker type for photovoltaic array: the output current of the
photovoltaic array is affected by the form, connection way and illumination angle of photovoltaic array, therefore
the minimum wire diameter of the photovoltaic array is calculated based on the short circuit current of
photovoltaic array. Please refer to the short circuit current value in the specification of photovoltaic array (the
short circuit current keeps unchanged for the photovoltaic arrays in series connection; the short circuit current
of photovoltaic arrays in parallel connection is the sum of short circuit current of all components connected in
parallel); the short circuit current of the array cannot exceed maximum input current of PV.

BAT wiring method:
① Before wiring, disconnect external breaker at first, and then confirm whether the used cable is thick enough.
Please refer to chapter “ 2.2 Wiring Specification and Breaker Type ” . BAT wire shall be connected with
the machine via O-shaped terminal. It is recommended to use the O-shaped terminal with 5mm inside
diameter. The O-shaped terminal must compress BAT wire firmly to prevent excessive heating caused by
great contact resistance;
② Correctly connect BAT wire in accordance with cable sequence and terminal position shown in the figure
below.
BAT+: positive battery pole BAT-: negative battery pole
Warning notice:
① Input from mains supply, AC output and photovoltaic array may generate high voltage. Before wiring, make
close the breaker or fuse. At the same time, guarantee that “+” and “-” poles of different parts are
correctly connected with wires; a breaker must be installed at the battery end and selected based on chapter
“2.2 Wiring Specification and Breaker Type”. Before wiring, make sure to break the breaker to prevent
strong electric spark generated during wiring. At the same time, avoid battery short circuit during the wiring
process; if the all-in-one machine is in the area with frequent thunder, it is suggested to install an external
arrester at PV input terminal.
Step 4: inspect whether the wires are correctly and firmly connected, especially whether the positive and
negative input poles of the battery are correct, whether the positive and negative input poles of PV are correct,

loads. The all-in-one machine operates normally in accordance with set mode.
Note: if power is supplied to different AC loads, it is suggested to turn on the loads with great impact current,
and then turn on the load with little impact current after the load operates stably.
Note: in case of abnormal operation of all-in-one machine or abnormal display of LCD or indicator light, refer
3. Operating Mode
1. Photovoltaic priority: in photovoltaic priority charge mode, mains charge is started only when photovoltaics
is out of work. Make full use of solar energy for power generation in the daytime and transfer to the mains
supply for charge to maintain electric quantity of the battery. It is suitable for areas with relatively stable power
grid and relatively expensive electricity price.
2. Mains supply priority: mains supply is to charge the battery preferentially and the photovoltaic charge can
be started only when the mains supply is valid.
11
3. Mixed charge: with mixed charge through photovoltaics and mains supply, photovoltaic MPPT charge is
used preferentially. In case of insufficient photovoltaic energy, the mains supply is used for supplement. In case
of sufficient photovoltaic energy, mains supply stops charge. Electricity can be charged fastest with the way,
which is suitable for the area with unstable power grid, so as to supply sufficient backup power supply at any
time.
4.Only solar: only photovoltaic charge is used, no mains supply is started. This way can save the energy at most.
The electric energies of battery are all from solar energy. This way is suitable for areas with good light condition.
➢ Photovoltaic priority mode: Photovoltaic and battery supply power to the load. With diversified charge
mode and optional output mode, when photovoltaic priority mode is selected, the green solar energy can
be used as far as possible so as to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. It switches to mains
supply when the photovoltaics is invalid. With the mode, solar energy can be used maximally and electric
quantity can be maintained at the same time. Therefore, the mode is suitable for areas with stable power
grid.
➢ Mains supply priority mode: it only switches to inverter for power supply when mains supply is invalid,
equivalent to a backup UPS. Therefore, the mode is applicable to area with unstable power grid.
12
➢ Inverter priority mode: it only switches to mains supply in case of undervoltage of battery. With the mode,
DC electric energy is used maximally. Therefore, it is applied to the area with stable power grid.
➢ Mixed functions mode: When the battery is not available or the battery is fully charged, the load is
provided by PV and commercial power, PV maximum output power output。
