WARNING!
This manual contains important instructions for all Inverter/Charger models that shall be followed during installation and maintenance of theinverter.

The following cases are not within the scope of warranty

  1. Out of warranty.
  2. Series number was changed or lost.
  3. Battery capacity was declined or external damaged.
  4. Inverter was damaged caused of transport shift, remissness, ect external factor
  5. Inverter was damaged caused of irresistible natural disasters.
  6. Not in accordance with the electrical power supply conditions or operate environment caused damage.

General Precautions

Before using it, read all instructions and markings:
(1) inverter (2) battery (3) user manual

CAUTION:

  1. To reduce r i s k of injury, charge only lead-acid rechargeable batteries . If customer use flooded batteries, batteries must be maintained regularly. Other battery types may cause damage and inJury .
  2. Do not expose it to rain, snow or any type liquids. Inverters are designed for indoor use.
  3. Do not disassemble it. Take i t to qualified service center when service or repair is needed.
  4. To prevent the risk of electric shock, disconnect all wiring before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Only turning off the unit will not reduce the risk.

WARNING:

  1. Provide ventilation from the battery compartment to outdoors. The battery enclosure should be designed to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas at the top of the compartment.
  2. NEVER charge a frozen battery and connect such 12V/24V/48V batteries toinverter.
  3. Input/output AC wiring mustn’t be less than 12AWG and not rated for 75°C or higher. Battery cable mustn’t be rated for 75°C or higher and should be no less than 4AWG /6AWG gauge.
  4. Pay special attention when working with metal tools around batteries. Batteries short-circu’i ng could cause an explosion.
  5. Read the battery installation and maintenance instructions carefully before operating.

Personnel Precautions

  1. Better to prepare plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing oreyes.
  2. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
  3. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame near batteries.
  4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with batteries. Batteries may provide heavy short-circuit current, which would be enough to make metal melt and causes severe burn.
  5. If a remote or automatic generator start system is used, disable the automatic starting circuit or disconnect the generator to prevent accident during servicing

Introduction

This series is very economical pure sine wave inverter, AC charger inbuilt, from 20A to 60A; Solar/ AC priority is configurable. When setting solar priority, solar will charge batteries as first priority, and AC can also charge batteries when solar charger current is too low, in this way system charge is optimized best. It enables inverter to operate with all kinds of home appliances.

Features:

  • Pure sine wave output
  • Friendly user interface
  • 3 Steps charging
  • MFD (multi-function display)
  • Overload and short-circuit protection
  • Set charging voltage/charging current.
  • Battery low voltage shutdown point can be set to 10/10.5/11V ( x2 for 24V systems)
  • Power-save mode
  • Set utility priority/ Battery priority
  • Set utility input wide/narrow range
  • Inverter voltage can be set to 120V:110V/115V/120V 220V:220V/230V/240V
  • Inverter frequency can be set to 50/60Hz
  • Set utility charging on/off switch
  • 80A MPPT charger

PNi GreenHouse SC3100B 3KW Inverter Solar-fig3

Mounting the Unit
Consider the following points before selecting where to install:

  • Do not mount the inverter on flammable construction materials.
  • Mount on a solid surface.
  • Install this inverter at eye level in order to read the LCD display clearly. For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, require a clearance about 50 cm to the side and 80 cm above and below the unit.
  • The ambient temperature should be between 0°C and 40°C to ensure optimal operation.
  • The recommended installation position is to be adhered to the wall vertically.
  • Be sure to keep other objects and surfaces as shown in the diagram to guarantee sufficient heat dissipation and to have enough space or removing wires.

DC Wiring Suggestion
It is suggested to keep battery bank as close as possible to inverter. battery cable length Im is suggested.
Please find following minimum wire size. If DC cable longer than 1 m, please use thicker battery cables to bear power current going though.

ModelBattery Voltage TypeWire Type
3KW24VDC3AWG

Please connect cable size thicker enough, or connect several combined thin cables together to be same strong. Battery bank should be kept close to inverter; The shorter and thicker cables, the better the system performance.

Please follo w battery connection steps below:
Assemble battery ring terminal.
Connect all battery packs as units requires.
Battery cable and terminal size suggestion:
It’s suggested to connect at least 100Ah capacity battery pack for IKW-3KW models , at least 200Ah for 4KW-6KW models.
It is mandatory t o instal a DC breaker/ disconnector between inverter and batteries.
NOTE: Please only use sealed lead acid battery or sealed GEL/AGM lead-acid battery.
Insert the ring terminal of battery cable into inverter to battery connector, make sure the bolts are tightened with torque of 2-3Nm. Pay special attention to battery back and inverter are connected rightly, also ring terminals are tightly screwed to the battery terminals.

PNi GreenHouse SC3100B 3KW Inverter Solar-fig5

Warning icon WARNING: Shock Hazard
Installation with special care is required due to high battery pack voltage
Warning icon CAUTIONI!I Do not place anything between the flat part of the inverter terminal and the ring terminal. Otherwise, overheating mayoccur.
CAUTION!! Do not apply antioxidant substance on the terminals before terminals are connected tightly.
CAUTIONI! 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
CAUTIONII Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and AC input power source. This will ensure inverter can be disconnected safely during maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input. Suggestion AC breaker: 30A for 1KW-3KW, 40A for 4KW-6KW.
CAUTION!!! Please don’t connect the output wring to “Grid” terminal or connect the grid wring to the “Load” terminal.
WARNINGI All wiring must be performed by a qualified personnel.
WARNING! i t ‘ s very important to use appropriate cable for Grid connection for system safety and efficient operation . Toreduce injury risk, please use the proper suggested cable size as below.
AC Wiring
We recommend using 10-S5AWG wire to connect AC terminal block. There are 3 different ways to connect AC wire to terminal block. All wirings are CE compliant, call our tech support if you are not sure about how to wire any part of your inverter.

-Make sure the wires are securely connected.

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 will be triggered overload fault and cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes it still causes internal damage to the air conditioner.
PV Connection
Please follow below steps to implement PV module connection:

  1. Remove insulation sleeve 10 mm for positive and negative conductors .
    PNi GreenHouse SC3100B 3KW Inverter Solar-fig9
  2. Check correct polarity of connection cable from PV module and PV input conductors. Then connect positive pole (+)of connection cab e to positive pole (+)of PV inputconnector.

AGS function
AGS function information
The AGS function is that the inverter will start the generator automatically via the dry contact when the battery 1s low voltage.
Note:

The generator must have dry contact function.
If you connect AC grid and Generator to Inverter inputat the same time, the interlock device should beinstalled between generator output and inverter input. (To ensure the utility and generator will not provide power to inverter at the same time. It doesn’t need to be installed if only connect generator).
