Stacked Power Inverters' System Operation Manual
Stackable power inverter can be used singly as normal power inverter however if stacked together you MUST adhere STRICTLY to the directions in this operation manual to avoid damaging the inverters!!!
1. WARNING: All the stacked power inverters systems MUST follow
this operation manual or the power inverters will be irreparably
damaged.
2. Turn all the power switches of the stacked power inverters
OFF first!
3. Now As the picture illustrates connect all the signal wires
as shown from the first lower (Master) to the next inverters upper
socket (slave) and so on front bottom socket to the top of the
next inverter in line. There is no limit, you can add hundreds
and power a small town if you wish!
4. IMPORTANT!!! All the output AC white wires should connect to
only white wires and the black wires should ONLY connect to black
wires!!! If a white wire connects to a black wire then the inverters
will burn out. This warning is for people who are pooling all
of the inverters power output into a gang electrical box only.
If you are only going to plug directly into ONE inverters socket
than this warning is not important. If you wish to use the inverters
for a very high load appliance you may wish to add AC jumper cords
from one inverter to next one below as shown in the photo. Again
be VERY sure that the LEFT prong or WHITE WIRES and the RIGHT
prong or BLACK WIRES match the LEFT and RIGHT socket of the inverters
right below and so on or KABOOM!!!!!!!! Mis-phasing an inverters
AC output will destroy the whole inverter array!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO
refunds on blown up inverters!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. Disconnect all the loads from the stacked power inverter system.
6. If the DC source from different DC sources then the negative
pole of the DC sources should be firmly connected by a cooper
wire diameter greater than 4 gauge.
7. Connect the DC power sources with the inverters. The stacked
power inverter system will automatically detect the master inverter
and slave inverter(s). The master inverter's LED light will alternately
flash with green and yellow light and the slave inverter's LED
light is green only. If more than two master inverters are picked
by the computer then check if the signal cables to make sure they
are well connected to make sure they do not fall off during operation!
For inverters working alone a red light is normal and any beeping
indicates that battery voltage is to low or to high as a general
rule.
8. Recheck all of the connections and make sure no wiring mistakes
have been made BEFORE energizing the system. When the lights are
showing that the correct connections have been established only
THEN may you power up the inverters one at a time starting with
the master first.
9. If any power inverter turns off in the stacked power inverter
system then the system will be shut down. To reinitiate the whole
system first turn OFF all switches and then disconnect all loads
before restarting the system again. Follow steps 3 through 6 again
to start the system.
SAFETY PROTOCOL: If any inverter in the stack initiates its
self protection program you should disconnect all off the output
loads and then turn off all of the power inverters. When you turn
them back on the system will work normally again.
NOTES: To add or remove the power inverter in the stacked power
inverter system, all the loads should be cut off from this system
then turn the switch off and wait at least ten minutes. If add
number of power inverter in the system, power inverters' switch
should turn to OFF then connect the signal cables and output wires
correctly. Switch on all the power inverters then this system
will work again. If you remove a power inverter from the system,
The output cable must be removed first. Remove the signal cable
then disconnect the DC input cable. Now switch on all the power
and the system will work normally again.
WARNINGS: Never disconnect any signal cable while the inverters
are actively working! Disconnecting cables during operation will
cause a complete system failure and un-repairable damage to the
inverters. Do not attempt! Always wait 10 minutes after power
down an inverter so its computer can reset. If you do not wait
10 minutes in-between configuration changes they will burn out!!!
NEVER PLUG IN A NEW INVERTER TO THE ARRAY WHILE OTHER INVERTERS
ARE WORKING!!! ALWAYS MAKE ALL STACKED AC CONNECTIONS WITH THE
INVERTERS DISCONNECTED FROM BATTERY!!! ONCE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE
MADE ALL OF THE PHASE CABLES AND AC CONNECTION ARE MADE THEN CONNECT
TO BATTERY AND WAIT FOR 5 SECONDS FOR CONFORMATION. IF YOU HERE
NO WARNING BEEPS AND THE LIGHTS HAVE CONFIRMED THE MASTER AND
SLAVES YOU MAY POWER THEM ALL ON BY CONNECTING THEM TO THE BATTERY.
