4.2電気接続

All electrical connections should be performed by a qualified electrician. Ensure all power sources are disconnected before making any connections.

  • DC入力（バッテリー）: Connect the 48VDC battery bank to the DC input terminals on the inverter's rear panel. Observe correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). Use appropriate gauge wiring (e.g., 4/0 AWG for runs under 5 feet) and ensure connections are tight.
  • AC出力（負荷）: Connect your AC loads to the dual GFCI outlets or hardwire to the AC output terminals.
  • AC入力（ユーティリティ/発電機）： If using the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) function, connect your utility or generator AC power to the AC input terminals.
  • 接地: インバータのシャーシ接地端子を信頼性の高いアースに接続します。

4.3DIPスイッチの構成

The inverter features DIP switches for customizing various operational parameters, such as output voltage, power saving mode, and communication settings. Refer to the detailed specifications table for specific DIP switch functions and recommended settings for your application.

5. 操作

5.1 電源のオン/オフ

After all connections are secure and verified, switch the inverter's main power switch to the 'ON' position. The inverter will perform a self-test, and the LED indicators will illuminate to show its status. To power off, switch the main power switch to 'OFF'.

5.2 LEDインジケーター

The inverter is equipped with LED indicators to display its operational status and any fault conditions. Refer to the LED Status table for detailed explanations.

5.3 省電力モード

The inverter offers selectable power saving modes to reduce idle power consumption. These modes can be configured via DIP switches or the optional remote control (CR-10). In power saving mode, the inverter will periodically check for load and enter a low-power state if no significant load is detected.

5.4 Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)

The built-in ATS allows the inverter to automatically switch between battery power and an external AC source (utility or generator). This ensures an uninterrupted power supply to connected loads. The transfer time is typically very fast, often less than 4ms, depending on the mode (STS, ATS).

5.5並列運転

The SD3500 series supports parallel redundancy design, allowing multiple inverters of the same model to be connected to increase total power capacity or provide redundancy. This feature is ideal for applications requiring higher wattage or enhanced reliability. Consult the advanced manual for detailed instructions on parallel setup.

6. メンテナンス

定期的なメンテナンスにより、インバーターの寿命が長くなり、最適なパフォーマンスが確保されます。

  • クリーニング： Keep the inverter's exterior clean and free from dust and debris. Ensure ventilation openings and cooling fans are unobstructed. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
  • ファンの検査: Periodically check the cooling fans for proper operation and cleanliness. If fans become noisy or stop working, they may need replacement by a qualified technician.
  • 接続チェック: Annually inspect all electrical connections (DC input, AC input/output, ground) for tightness and corrosion. Tighten any loose connections.
  • バッテリーのメンテナンス: Follow the battery manufacturer's maintenance guidelines for your battery bank. Ensure batteries are properly charged and maintained.

7。 トラブルシューティング

If the inverter is not operating as expected, refer to the LED Status table (Figure 4) for diagnostic information. Common issues and their potential solutions are listed below:
