6.1 Pre-Operation Check
6.1.1 Inverter Operation Check
• Check the DC input polarity.
• Ensure the input voltage is in the standard range.
• Check wiring size based on local codes and the wiring table.
• Ensure the rear cover is securely installed for safety; preventing electrical shock.
• Ensure the ground wiring is properly connected on rear cover for safety; preventing electrical shock.
• Ensure the inverter module has been locked. The lock bolt should be in the lock position.
At power on, the inverter/STS unit enters into a self-diagnostic mode with POWER ON and WARNING LED
indicators blinking simultaneously. If everything functions correctly, the ON indicator will remain solid green, and
the power will be delivered to the AC output terminals.
6.1.2 STS Operation Check
• If installed, ensure the MBS is at “Normal” position.
• Ensure the rear cover is securely installed for safety; preventing electrical shock.
• Ensure the STS module has been locked. The lock bolt should be in the lock position.
6.1.3 Controller/Interface Operation Check
• Ensure the controller module is securely installed.
• Ensure the rear cover of controller/interface/STS shelf is securely installed.
• Ensure the interface module is securely installed and the wiring is properly connected.

• The breakers are at ON position.
• The rear cover of MBS is securely installed.
6.2 Status Monitoring
When the controller module is properly installed with power on, the LCD screen will light by displaying “Waiting”
for self-diagnosis. Within a few seconds, STATUS and SETTING options will then show on the screen.
STATUS is classified into four sections: MODULE, CONTROLLER, BATTERY, and ALARM.
