Please reserve this manual for future review. This manual contains all instructions of safety,
installation and operation for the inverter/charger.
Read carefully all the instructions and warnings in the manual before installation.
Non-safety voltage exists inside the inverter/charger, users must not dismantle it by itself
in order to avoid personal injury, contact professional maintenance personnel of our
company in need of maintenance.
Do not place the inverter/charger in a damp, oily, inflammable and explosive or a severe
environment with a large amount of dust accumulation.
The utility input and AC output are of high voltage, don’t touch wire connecting locations.
Install the inverter/charger in well ventilated places, it’s shell may become very hot
during operation.
Make sure switching off all connections with PV array and the fuse/breakers close to
battery before inverter/charger installation and adjustment.
Power connections must remain tight to avoid excessive heating from a loose
connection.
This inverter/charger can only be used singly, parallel connection or in series will
damage the inverters.
1.1 Overview
The UPower series is a new type of the inverter/charger combining with solar & utility charging
and AC output, which adopts a multi-core processor design and advanced MPPT control
algorithm, and has the features of high response speed, high reliability and high
industrialization standard. It offers four charging modes to Solar priority, Utility priority, Solar
and Utility & Solar; two output modes for Battery and Utility, meeting the various application
demands.
The up-to-date optimized MPPT tracking technology is adopted for the PV charging modules.
It can quickly track the maximum power point of the PV array in any environment and acquire
the maximum energy of solar panel in real time;
The advanced control algorithm is adopted for AC-DC charging modules that realize fully
digitalized double closed-loop control for voltage and current, with high control precision, small
volume. The input range of AC voltage is wide, the output DC charging voltage/current is
continuously adjustable in a certain range, and the complete input/output protection functions

Extensive Electronic protection
Be very careful when installing the batteries, especially flooded lead-acid battery. Please
wear eye protection, and have fresh water available to wash and clean any contact with
battery acid.
Keep the battery away from any metal objects, which may cause short circuit of the battery.
Explosive battery gases may come out from the battery during charging, so make sure
ventilation condition is good.
Lead-acid battery is recommended, other kinds please refer to the battery manufacturer.
Loose power connections and corroded wires may result in high heat that can melt wire
insulation, burn surrounding materials, or even cause fire. Ensure tight connections and use
cable clamps to secure cables and prevent them from swaying in mobile applications.
Battery connection may be wired to one battery or a bank of batteries. The following
instructions refer to a singular battery, but it is implied that the battery connection can be
made to either one battery or a group of batteries in a battery bank.
Select the system cables according to 5A/mm2 or less current density in accordance with
Article 690 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
For outdoor installation, keep out of the direct sunshine and rainwater infiltration.
High voltage still exists inside the inverter/charger after switching off the power switch, do
not turn on or touch the internal units, conduct the associated operation only after
discharging the electric capacity.
Do not place the inverter/charger in a damp, oily, inflammable and explosive or a severe
environment with a large amount of dust accumulation.
Prohibit reverse connection at DC input end otherwise it may damage the equipment or
unpredictable danger will occur.
The utility input and AC output are of high voltage, do not touch the wire connecting
locations.

Installation steps:
Warning: Danger, High-voltage! Utility input, AC output and PV array will produce
very high voltage, make sure to disconnect the circuit breaker/ fuse before wiring.
Warning: Do not turn on the circuit breaker/ fuse in course of wiring, and at the
same time, ensure that the wires of “+”, “-” are correctly connected.
Warning: A circuit breaker must be installed at the battery end, for selection, refer
to Section 2.3 "Wire and Circuit Breaker".
Step 4:Grounding
Grounding connection must be made when utility is connected to the inverter/charger. The
inverter/charger has dedicated grounding terminal as shown in Fig. 2-2⑤, the grounding must
be reliable, the grounding wire shall be the thicker wire (wire is not less than 4mm2), the
grounding point shall be as close as possible to the inverter/charger, the grounding wire shall
be the shorter, the better.
Step 5: Install the terminal protective cover
Step 6:Connect accessory
Connect the remote temperature sensor cable (model: RTS300R47K3.81A)
Connect one end of the remote temperature sensor cable to the interface⑦
