03 Introduction
3. Introduction
3.1 Basic Instruction
The Afore AF-SL series hybrid inverters are designed to increase energy
independence for homeowners. Energy management is based on time-of-use
and demand charge rate structures, significantly reduce the amount of energy
purchased from the public grid and optimize self-consumption.

4.3.1 PV Connection
The AF-SL series hybrid inverter has one/two MPPT channels, can be connected
with one/two strings of PV panels. Please make sure below requirements are
followed before connecting PV panels and strings to the inverter:
• The open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of PV string should not exceed
the reasonable range of the inverters.
• The isolation resistance between PV string and ground should exceed 300 kΩ.
• The polarity of PV strings are correct.
• Use the DC plugs in the accessory.
• The lightning protector should be equipped between PV string and inverter.
• Disconnect all of the PV (DC) switch during wiring.
Warning:
The fatal high voltage may on the DC side, please comply with
electric safety when connecting.
Please make sure the correct polarity of the cable connected with
inverter, otherwise inverter could be damaged.

4.3.4 AC Connection
The AC terminal contains “GRID” and “EPS”, GRID for load, and EPS for
emergency load.
Before connecting, a separate AC breaker between individual inverter and AC
input power is necessary. This will ensure the inverter be securely disconnected
during maintenance and fully protected from current of AC input.
An extra AC breaker is needed for On-Grid connection to be isolated from grid
when necessary. Below are requirements for the On-Grid AC-breaker.
Note:
Qualified electrician will be required for the wiring.

4.3.5 DRM
The inverter provides a terminal block for connecting to a demand response enabling device
(DRED). The DRED asserts demand response modes (DRMs). The inverter detects and
initiates a response to all supported demand response commands within 2s.
The inverter only supports DRM0 : The inverter is in the state of “Turn off”.

Warranty Terms (Overseas)
Afore New Energy Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (Hereinafter referred to as the "Afore") Product Warranty Terms
Afore offers standard factory warranty for the inverters which is valid 5 years from the date of installa�on and no more
than 5 and a half years from the delivery date from Afore.
Spare Parts
NO. Item
1 DC PV Connector(MC4)
2 AC Connector
3 Fuse
4 Enclosure
1.4 The monitoring module warranty is valid for 12 months (beginning from the date of shipment).
1.5 After the products leaving the factory, the appearance damage (scratches, rust, chemical damage) is beyond
warranty.
2.Warranty Exceptions
2.1 Damage or lose to inverter or accessory caused by logistics.
2.2 Inverter failure caused by non-compliance with national utility grid standard which lead to eg. abnormal grid
voltage, grid frequency etc.
2.3 Inverter malfunction or damage caused by non-professional or non-qualified personnel
2.4 Failure to observe the user manual, the installation guide, and the maintenance regulations
2.5 Remove or damage warranty seal
2.6 Change or remove specification label, serial number (SN)
2.7 Product malfunction or damage due to disobey to relevant laws and regulations or technical requirements in
power plant design, construction or installation works
2.8 Solar panels’ input parameters exceed the inverter’s allowed range

2.10 Failure or damage caused by corrosion, lightning and other natural damage or force majeure
2.11 Unauthorized alteration or disassembly of the product
2.12 Damage or malfunction caused by other facilities eg. Surge damage caused by switching on/off high power
generator
2.13 Low electricity generation because of inverter self-protection caused by environmental reasons (such
as the installation environment, natural environment, grid environment, etc.) is not a quality problem.
4. Force Majeure
Force majeure is not artificially unavoidable and insurmountable objective conditions. In addition, it is the loss that
even if the use of methods of prevention and attention, cannot prevent.
It includes the following:
a) earthquakes, floods, fires, storms and other natural disasters.
b) war, invasion, blockade and other hostile armed actors.
c) revolution, rebellions, riots.
d) strike.
e) collection, prohibition, and other provisions of the government's actions.
