Application with Energy Meter

With Modbus card II and energy meter, hybrid inverter can be easily integrated into 
the existing household system. For details please refer to Modbus card II manual.

Note: this application is only valid for Grid-Tie with Backup II mode.

Equipped  with  Modbus  card  II,  hybrid  inverter  is  connected  to  energy  meter  with 
RS485  communication  port.  It’s  to  arrange  self-consumption  via  Modbus  card  to 
control power generation and battery charging of the inverter.

Commissioning

14

Step 1: Check the following requirements before commissioning:


Ensure the inverter is firmly secured



Check if the open circuit DC voltage of PV module meets requirement (Refer to 

Section 6)


Check if the open circuit utility voltage of the utility is at approximately same to 

the nominal expected value from local utility company.


Check  if  connection  of  AC  cable  to  grid  (utility)  is  correct  if  the  utility  is 

required.


Full connection to PV modules.



AC  circuit  breaker  (only  applied  when  the  utility  is  required),  batter  circuit 

breaker, and DC circuit breaker are installed correctly.

Step 2: Switch on the battery circuit breaker and then switch on PV DC breaker. After 
that,  if  there  is  utility  connection,  please  switch  on  the  AC  circuit  breaker.  At  this 
moment,  the  inverter  is  turned  on  already.  However,  there  is  no  output  generation 
for loads. Then: 


If LCD lights up to display the current inverter status, commissioning has been 

successfully.  After  pressing  “ON”  button  for  1  second  when  the  utility  is  detected, 
this  inverter  will  start  to  supply  power  to  the  loads.  If  no  utility  exists,  simply  press 
“ON” button for 3 seconds. Then, this inverter will start to supply power to the loads. 


If  a  warning/fault  indicator  appears  in  LCD,  an  error  has  occurred  to  this 

inverter. Please inform your installer.

Step 3: Please insert CD into your computer and install monitoring software in your 
PC. Follow below steps to install software. 
1. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
2.  When  your  computer  restarts,  the  monitoring  software  will  appear  as  shortcut 
icon located in the system tray, near the clock.

NOTE:  If  using  modbus  card  as  communication  interface,  please  install  bundled 
software. Check local dealer for the details.
