Quick Installation Guide
0.7-3.3kW Single Phase Inverter

Packing List

• Push the threaded sleeve to connection terminal until both are locked tightly on the inverter.
• Remove the AC connector, press the bayonet out of the slot with a small screwdriver or the unlock tool and pull it out, or unscrew the threaded sleeve, then pull it out.

DC Wiring

• Turn off the DC switch.
• Choose 12 AWG wire to connect the PV module.
• Trim 6mm of insulation from the wire end.
• Separate the DC connector as below.

Inverter Installation

Please make sure the inverter will be installed with a proper distance as shown below.

Step 1: Fix the bracket on the wall
Choose the place you want to install the inverter. Place the bracket on the wall and mark the position of the 2 holes from the bracket.

Drill holes with an electric drill, make sure the holes are at least 50mm deep and then tighten the expansion tubes.

• Insert stripped cable into pin contact and ensure all conductor strands are captured in the pin contact.
• Crimp pin contact by using a crimping plier. Put the pin contact with striped cable into the corresponding crimping pliers and crimp the contact.
• Insert pin contact through the cable nut to assemble into the back of the male or female plug. When you feel or hear a “click” the pin contact assembly is seated correctly.
• Unlock the DC connector
  – Use the specified wrench tool.
  – When separating the DC + connector, push the tool down from the top.
  – When separating the DC- connector, push the tool down from the bottom.
  – Separate the connectors by hand.

Insert the expansion tubes into the holes and tighten them. Install the bracket with the expansion screws.

Step 2: Match the inverter with a wall bracket
Hang the inverter over the bracket, slightly lower the inverter, and make sure the two mounting grooves on the back are properly fixed with the two bracket bars.
