01    Safety Precautions

•  The information in this quick installation guide is subject to change due to product updates or other 

reasons. This guide cannot replace the product labels or the safety precautions in the user manual 

unless otherwise specified. All descriptions here are for guidance only.

•  Before installations, read through the quick installation guide. For additional information, please see 

the user manual.

•  All installations should be performed by trained and knowledgeable technicians who are familiar 

with local standards and safety regulations.

•  Check the deliverables for correct model, complete contents, and intact appearance. Contact the 

manufacturer if any damage is found or any component is missing.

•  Use insulating tools and wear personal protective equipment when operating the equipment to 

ensure personal safety. Wear anti-static gloves, clothes, and wrist strip when touching electronic 

components to protect the inverter from damage. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any 

damage caused by static electricity.

• 

Strictly follow the installation, operation, and configuration instructions in this guide and user 

manual. The manufacturer shall not be liable for equipment damage or personal injury if you do not 

follow the instructions. For more warranty details, please visit

.

DC Side:

1.  Ensure the component frames and the bracket system are securely grounded.
2.  Connect the DC cables using the delivered PV connectors. The manufacturer shall not be liable 

for equipment damage if other connectors are used.

3.  Ensure the DC cables are connected tightly, securely, and correctly. Inappropriate wiring may 

cause poor contacts or high impedances, and damage the inverter.

4.  Measure the DC cable using the multimeter to avoid reverse polarity connection. Also, the 

voltage should be under the max DC input voltage. The manufacturer shall not be liable for the 
damage caused by reverse connection and extremely high voltage.

5.  Ensure the minimum isolation resistance of the PV string to the ground meets UL1741 

requirements to avoid shock hazards.

6. 

Keep the battery off, and the inverter disconnects with PV panels and other AC power 

before connecting the battery and the inverter. The rated voltage of the battery should meet 

specifications of the inverter.

AC Side:

1.  The voltage and frequency at the connecting point should meet the on-grid requirements.
2.  Additional protective devices like circuit breakers or fuses are recommended on the AC side. 

Specification of the protective device should be at least 1.25 times the rated AC output rated 

current.

3. 

PE cable of the inverter must be connected firmly. 

4.  You are recommended to use copper cables as AC output cables. If you prefer aluminum cables, 

remember to use copper to aluminum adapter terminals.
