5.5.7 Connection of Dry contact

The  dry  contact  is  used  to  communicate  with  external  devices  (such  as  remote  start 
hot water heater). The wiring steps are as follows:
Step 1: Remove the locking nut and waterproofing bolt..
Step 2: Route the “DRY” cable through the conduit and then the fitting of the pipe.
Step 3:Insert the RJ45 plug of the network cable into the “DRY”  pin connector on the 
inverter until it snaps into place.
Step 4:If no other cables need to be installed, secure the fitting to the conduit.

Note:
1.

If the cable such as “Dry contact” cable is not used, please do not remove the 

filler plug from the cable support sleeve.
2.

Dry contact can give a 12V and less than 200mA source output to driver relay 

and so on. Please be careful of the capacity of this power.

 Commissioning 6 

6.1 Commissioning of SPH

Electrify SPH after all installation of Part5 be finished, here are the steps:
1. Turn on PV first
2. Then turn on Grid
3. Last turn on battery
If PV Grid and battery are available, system would work on the “normal” mode. When 
the SPH on the normal mode, the screen showing “Normal”, LED is green. If SPH not 
enter normal mode successful, especially the LED is red, you need to check below:
1. Make sure all the connection is correct.
2. All the external switches are on.
3. Inverter built -in switch is on.
4. Make sure the lithium battery is on.
5. Refer to Part 9.1 for correction.
You  can  refer  to  Part  6.3.4  for  work  mode  setting,  then  configure  monitor,  finish 
commissioning lastly.

6.2 Operation modes

6.2.1 Normal mode

Normal mode is working state which including online mode and backup mode.

Online mode 

User can set an appropriate priority mode according to request when SPH working on 
the  online  mode.  If  customer  uses  the  LCD  and  key  settings,  you  can  only  set  one 
period, but if you use website settings, you can set up to three periods of the priority 
mode. 
(refer to 6.3.4)
1. Load first: Load first is the default mode, when it's working in this mode, PV energy 
would offer to load and battery prior; when PV is Insufficient, battery would discharge; 
when PV is sufficient for load, the excess energy would feed to battery. If there is no 
battery or battery is full, the excess energy would feed to Grid (except anti-reflux).
2.  Battery  first:  When  SPH  working  in  this  mode,  battery  would  be  charged  first,  it's 
suitable  working  on  the  period  when  the  electric  charge  is  low.  user  need  to  set  the 
mode  ON  and  OFF  time,  and  the  end  time  of  battery  SOC.  Users  can  set  power  rate 
which less than the battery maximum output power. If the customer doesn't enable the 
AC  CHG  (AC  grid  charging  functions).  Inverter  will  charge  battery  by  PV  power  as 
large as it can do. If the customer enables the AC CHG (AC grid charging functions). 
Inverter will charge battery by PV power and AC power from grid as large as it can do.
3. Grid first: When SPH working in Grid-first mode, the PV energy would feed to Grid 
first.  User  can  choose  the  period  when  electric  charge  is  high.  User  need  to  set  the 
mode  ON  and  OFF  time,  and  the  end  time  of  battery  SOC.  User  can  set  power  rate 
which less than the battery maximum output power.

offgrid mode 

If Grid lost, system would turn to offgrid mode (user can disable it, refer to 6.3.4) and 
EPS  OUTPUT  will  keep  powering  the  load,  all  the  energy  from  PV  and  battery,  if  the 
PV  also  lost,  then  only  battery  discharge.  Mind  you,  SPH  maximum  output  power  is 
3680W in this mode, the load which connect with EPS LOAD should less than 3680W.

Notice:

1.  Users  only  can  set  one  period  for  battery  first  and  Grid  first  on  the  LCD,  if  users 
need set more pleases login shineserver or shinephone (the biggest period is three).
2. If users need Grid charge battery, users need input password on the SC surface and 
set the AC CHG to enable.
