/N Important Safety Instructions /N
Please save these instructions.
This manual contains important safety, installation, and operating instructions for the
inverter. The following symbols are used throughout the manual:
Indicates a potentially dangerous condition. Use extreme caution
when performing this task.
Indicates a critical procedure for safe and proper operation of the inverter.
Indicates a procedure or function that is important to the safe and
proper operation of the inverter.
Ш General Safety Information
Installation and wiring must comply with the Local and National Electric Codes (NEC)
and must be done by a certified technician.
Read all of the instructions and cautions in the manual before beginning the installation.
There are no serviceable parts for this inverter. Do NOT disassemble or attempt to repair
the inverter.
Make sure all connections going into and from the inverter are tight. There may be
sparks when making connections, therefore, make sure there are not flammable
materials or gases near installation.
Ш Inverter Safety
The inverters are suitable for 12V Battery Banks ONLY.
ALWAYS make sure inverter is in OFF position and disconnect all AC and DC
connecting when working on any circuit associated with the inverter.
NEVER connect the AC output of the unit directly to an Electrical Breaker Panel/ Load
Centre which is also fed from the utility power / generator.
When connecting battery terminals, ensure the polarity of the battery connections is
correct. Incorrect polarity may cause permanent damage to the unit.
Be careful when touching bare terminals of capacitors as they may retain high lethal
voltages even after power is removed.

E Battery Safety
* Do NOT let the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery touch each other.
e Use sealed Lead-Acid, Flooded, Gel, AGM, Lithium or Calcium batteries which must be
deep cycle.
e Explosive battery gases may be present while charging. Be certain there is enough
ventilation to release the gases.
e Be careful when working with large lead acid batteries. Wear eye protection and have
fresh water available in case there is contact with the battery acid.
e Over-charging and excessive gas precipitation may damage the battery plates and
activate material shedding on them. Too high of an equalizing charge or too long of one
may cause damage. Please carefully review the specific requirements of the battery
used in the system.
Ш Installation Safety
e The unit should be installed in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry environment. Make
sure the fans of the unit and the ventilation holes are not blocked.
e Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, snow, or liquids of any type.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Renogy Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter Charger delivers superior performance for
remote off-grid applications. The inverter is of pure sine wave capable of producing cleaner,
smoother, and more reliable electricity for a user's electronic needs. The inverter is also
able to charger the battery bank when AC power is connected to the inverter.
Ш Key Features
e Robust and sleek design
e LCD and LED display used to view inverter status and programming features
e Offers high quality waveform with little harmonic distortion
e 4-Stage battery charger with configurable charging current
e 8 Pre-Set battery voltages including Lithium; User-defined option available
e Automatic generator start option
e Peak efficiency >90%
e Multiple electronic protections
Bl Pure Sine Wave
The Renogy Power Inverters output a pure sine wave similar to the waveform of the grid
power. In a pure sine wave, the voltage rises and falls in a smooth fashion with very low
harmonic distortion and cleaner utility-like power.
Pure(Sine Wavefom)
This gives users stable enough power
to operate tools, fans, lights,
computers, and other electronics
without any interference. Pure sine
wave inverters are in many cases
more efficient, allowing users to use
less energy and allow for more device
capability. The main advantage to
pure sine wave inverters is that they
are used to operate sensitive
electronic devices that require a high
quality waveform with little harmonic
distortion. Almost any electronic device could be powered using a pure sine wave inverter.

INCLUDED COMPONENTS
E Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS)
Renogy inverter chargers come equipped with a battery temperature sensor that will help
prolong the battery life. The temperature sensor allows the inverter charger to continuously
adjust the charging voltage based on the battery temperature. Taking 25 C as the standard
temperature, the inverter charger will compensate the charging voltage with a factor of
-0.5mV/C within the temperature range of -40C-80C. The battery temperature sensor
should be installed on all battery banks as it ensures that the battery receives the proper
voltage. The sensor mounts on the side of the battery.
CAUTION
The battery temperature sensor must be installed for proper voltage.
Wired remote control
INSTALLATION
Bl AC Wiring
WARNING
AC Output should NEVER be connected to public power or a generator.
CAUTION
When connecting to an AC source we recommend using 6-10AWG wire and wiring just like
the picture below. (120V Single Phase Wiring Only). Consult a qualified electrician about
specific wire gauge in terms of material and inverter power.

Bulk Stage: The charger will supply constant current until the battery voltage reaches the
boost voltage. The software will calculate the time charging began up until the battery
voltage reaches 0.3V below the boost voltage. It uses this time to as TO and TOx10 = T1.
Boost Stage: The charger will supply constant voltage and reduce the current slowly
through this stage. The charger will stay in this stage until T1 has run out. After this time the
charger will enter the float stage. This stage will last between 1 hour and 12 hours
depending on T1.
Float Stage: During this stage the charger will supply a constant voltage which is
determined by the battery selected and will keep current at a minimum. This stage acts as a
trickle charger.
Equalization: This stage is only available if the battery selector is switched to position 8.
During this stage the batteries are charged at a higher voltage than normal and for most
batteries this could cause damage. Please refer to the batteries owner's manual or contact
the manufacturer to see if this stage is needed.

Ш UTILITY PRIORITY & BATTERY PRIORITY
The inverter charger comes equipped with two working modes that can be changed using
setting 01.
Utility Priority
The default setting is Utility Priority (Ut1). Under this setting, once the inverter charger is
connected to the utility, it will power the loads using the electricity from shore supply.
The inverter charger will start charging the battery bank using the AC source, if necessary.
In case of power outage, the system automatically switches to battery-powered mode.
Battery Priority
The second setting is Battery Priority (SbU). Under this setting the inverter charger will
provide power using the connected battery bank even when it detects an AC source.
When the battery voltage reaches the low voltage set point, the inverter charger will power
the loads using the connected AC source but will not charge the battery bank.
The following steps need to be taken to properly set the inverter charger to Battery Priority
(SbU)
1. Press and hold the Enter key to enter the setting screen.
2. Press the down arrow key until setting 01 is shown.
3. Press and hold the Enter key until the setting starts flashing, press the up or down arrow
key to select SbU. Press and hold the Enter key to save the setting.
4. Disconnect the inverter charger from the AC source/shore power.
5. Turn off the inverter charger, wait 10 seconds then turn it back on.
Taking these steps will set the inverter charger to Battery Priority (SbU)
