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.

Normal Loads
Note:
However if an external residual current device (RCD) (type B is recommended) is mandatory,
the switch must be triggered at a residual current of 300 mA (recommended). RCD of other
specifications can also be used according to local standard.
To maintain the neutral continuity in standalone mode, as required by Australian safety code,
the neutral cable on the AC Load output port and AC-Grid Port must be connected together.

3.2 Operation Modes


3.2.1 Self-Use
The Self-Use mode is for the regions with low feed-in tariff and high electricity
prices. The energy produced by the PV system is used to optimize
self-consumption needs. The excess energy is used to recharge the batteries,
any remaining excess is then exported to the grid.

Energy flow:

Introduction 04

Note: Advance Setting

When select 0 W under P_Feed menu, the inverter will export zero energy to the
grid.
When select xx W under P_Feed menu, the inverter will export customized
energy to the grid.

3.2.2 Time of Use


The Time of Use mode is designed to reward customers who do their part to
reduce demand on the electric grid, particularly during peak usage periods. Use
most of your electricity from PV energy and during off-peak time periods, and you
could significantly lower your monthly bill.

Note:
1.NTC (including connection line) is provided by battery manufacturers.
2. The NTC is external, and there is no NTC connection port on the lead -acid battery.
NTC is used to test the working environment temperature of lead -acid batteries.
3.The Afore inverter does not include a connection terminal for a remote battery
temperature sensor. If installing Afore inverter with lead acid batteries please check
with Afore inverter for advice regarding charge settings.

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.

Inverter Model AC breaker specification

AF1-3.6K-SL-1 32A/200V/230V AC breaker

AF3-6K-SL 63A/200V/230V AC breaker

Note:
Qualified electrician will be required for the wiring.

Model Wire Size Cable(mm²) Torque value

1-6kW 8-10AWG 4-6 1.2N·m

Please follow steps for AC connection


• Connect DC protector or breaker first before connecting.
• emove insulation sleeve 11mm(0.5 inch) length, unscrew the bolts, insert the
AC input wires according to polarities indicated on the terminal block and
tighten the terminal screws.

Step 1

10±0.5mm

Note:
Cable suggestion
Cross-section 8-10AWG
Installation 20

Note:
The wiring terminals should be wrapped with insulation tape,
otherwise it will cause a short circuit and damage the inverter.
Note:
The Max. power load connects to EPS port should not
exceed the inverter's EPS Max. output power range.

21 Installation

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”.

The monitoring module could transmit the data to the cloud server, and display
the data on the PC, tablet and smart-phone.

Install the WIFI / Ethernet / GPRS / RS485 Communication


WIFI / Ethernet / GPRS / RS485 communication is applicable to the inverter.
Please refer to "Communication Configuration Instruction" for detailed
instruction.

4.5 Earth Connection

Note:
A second protective earth (PE) terminal should be connected to the inverter.
This prevents electric shock if the original protective PE wire fails.

Step 1

Note:
Earth cable PE suggestion:
Cross-section (Copper) 4-6mm² / 10AWG

Step 2

Fix the grounding screw to the grounding


connection of the machine housing.

Note:
Make sure the earth cables on the inverter and solar panel frame are
separately.
