      off the unit will not reduce this risk.
5. 

  CAUTION

 --Only qualified personnel can install this device with battery.

6. 

  NEVER

 charge a frozen battery.

7.   For optimum operation of this inverter/charger, please follow required spec to select appropriate cable size. It' s 
      very important to correctly operate this inverter/charger.
8.   Be very cautious when working with metal tools on or around batteries. A potential risk exists to drop a tool to 
      spark or short circuit batteries or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
9.   Please strictly follow installation procedure when you want to disconnect AC or DC terminals. Please refer to 
      INSTALLATION section of this manual for the details.
10. Fuses (1 piece of 200A, 58VDC for 3KW,4KW and 5KW) are provided as over-current protection for the battery 
      supply.    
11. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS- This inverter/charger should be connected to a permanent grounded wiring 
      system. Be sure to comply with local requirements and regulation to install this inverter.
12. NEVER cause AC output and DC input short circuited. Do NOT connect to the mains when DC input short circuits.
13. 

Warning!!

 Only qualified service persons are able to service this device. If errors still persist after following 

      troubleshooting table, please send this inverter/charger back to local dealer or service center for maintenance.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Problem

LCD/LED/Buzzer

Explanation / Possible cause

What to do

The battery voltage is too low
( < 1.91V/Cell)

1. Re-charge battery.
2. Replace battery.

No response after 
power on.

No indication.

1. The battery voltage is far too low. 
(<1.4V/Cell)
2. Battery polarity is connected 
reversed. Input protector is tripped

1. Check if batteries the wiring 
are connected and well.
2. Re-charge battery.
3. Replace battery.

Mains exist but the 
unit works in battery 
mode.

Input voltage is 
displayed as 0 on the 
LCD and green LED 
is flashing.

Insufficient quality of AC power
(Shore or Generator)

Check if AC breaker is tripped 
and AC wiring is connected 
well.

1. Check if AC wires are too 
thin and/or too long.
2. Check if generator (if 
applied) is working well or if 
input voltage range setting is 
correct.(Appliance=>wide)

Input protector is tripped

When the unit is 
turned on, internal 
relay is switched on 
and off repeatedly.

LCD display and LEDs

o

component is over 90 C.

Check whether the air flow of 
the unit is blocked or whether 
the ambient temperature is too 
high.

Check if wiring is connected 
well and remove abnormal 
load.

Fault code 03

Battery is over-charged.

Return to repair center.

The battery voltage is too high.

Check if spec and quantity of 
batteries are meet 
requirements.

Fault code 01

Fan fault

Fan fault

Fault code 06/58

1. Reduce the connected load.
2. Return to repair center

Output abnormal (Inverter voltage 
below than 202Vac or is higher than 
253Vac)

Fault code 
08/09/53/57

Internal components filed.

Return to repair cente

Fault code 51
Fault code 52

Fault code 55

Fault code 56

Over current or surge

Bus voltage is too low

Output voltage is unbalanced

Battery is not connected well or 
fuse is burnt.

If the battery is connected well, 
please return to repair center.

Restart the unit, if the error 
happens again, please return
 to repair center.

Unit shuts down 
automatically during 
startup process.
