During stand-alone operation, power is supplied only to the stand-alone outlets. During a power outage, other outlets cannot be used.

• Use the stand-alone outlets.

Power output from the PV system and storage batteries can be unstable due to weather conditions and charge. If output drops, 
stand-alone operation stops automatically.

• Electric appliances running off stand-alone operation may shut off.

There are some cases where the motors or some products which require massive amounts of electricity cannot be used. For more 

details please contact the distributor.

• When power is supplied to electric appliances connected to the  stand-alone outlets, inrush current may trip 

   protective devices and prevent the appliances from running.

• If stand-alone operation automatically stops due to high power consumption, the electric appliances that were 

   running stop temporarily. Although stand-alone operation resumes automatically when power consumption decreases, 

   connected appliances that have protective circuits are prevented from resuming operation.

The maximum amount of current that can be drawn during stand-alone operation is 16.7 A in THE-S55P3BB-USW, 27.5 A in 

THD-S55P3BB-US, 16.7 A in THD-S55P3B-US. Only connect electric appliances  that consume less than the maximum amount. 

If the electric appliances connected to the stand-alone outlets consume more power than is generated by the PV system and 

supplied by the storage batteries, stand-alone operation shuts down.  

Many lighting fixtures and motor-driven appliances (e.g., vacuum cleaners. refrigerators, dryers, etc.) draw a large current when 

turned on, and consequently will not run. Using these appliances may also trip protective circuits and keep them from running.

• There is a limit to the amount of power that can be drawn at one time.

• Stand-alone operation is automatically engaged if a power outage occurs.

Circuitry has been designed to enable lighting fixtures, communication equipment and other electric appliances to 

be used in the event of a power outage without having to unplug and plug them back in again.

During the morning and daytime hours, the solar panels and storage batteries cooperatively supply the electric power 
necessary for household consumption. Surplus power is used to charge the storage batteries. During the evening and 
nighttime hours, power is supplied by the storage batteries.

Recharging the Storage Batteries using the Solar Panels

Electric Appliances Connected to Stand-alone Outlets during 

    an Outage Can Be Used without Plugging Them Back in.

Electric power generated by the solar panels can be efficiently stored in the storage batteries. This is useful during 
extended power outages that last several days.

PROHIBITED

MANDATORY

The amount of electric power generated during stand-alone operation 

varies according to weather and storage battery charge. The inverter 

stops stand-alone operation if it generates less electric power than that 

consumed by the electric appliances connected to its stand-alone 

outlets. Do not use the appliances listed below with the inverter, as 

personal injury or property damage may occur if the power shuts off.

• Any kind of medical or home security equipment.

• Desktop computers and other information-related equipment and 

   peripherals.

• Other equipment that may cause personal injury or property damage 

   if the power shuts off.

• Confirm the Backup Load Panel, related wiring, and electrical 

fixtures  are in good safe condition before commencing stand-alone 

  operation.
• If strange odors or noises are detected after starting 

  stand-alone operation, promptly stop stand-alone operation.

Do not connect the electric appliances listed below to the stand-alone outlets.

WARNING

CAUTION

• The desktop PC must be connected to the UPS as power will be temporarily disrupted when switching to 

stand-alone operation.

• At extremely low SOC, the battery output power may be slightly decreased.
