1. General information
1.1 Getting start
This manual is used as a checking and repairing guide for 3KVA-110V/120V model. Before read this
manual, it’s better to have some electrical or electronic background knowledge. With this guide, you can
fix the inverter by yourself firstly.
There are five main parts of this guide:
General information: This part is the basic information of the inverter; you can start to know the inverter
from this chapter.
Troubleshooting: This part will tell you how to do when you face a problem.
Checking and measuring guide: This part will teach you how to check or repair the inverter by
measuring the critical components.
Assembling guide: This part teaches you how to take the board outside and fix the new one.
Cables connection: This part is a reference for cable connection.

1.2 Basic topology introduction

The topology of the inverter shows as below:

Utility
CNTL board
Control

Inverter
Solar Solar charger Load
Converter

SCC board Main board Parallel

PAR board
(Option)

Battery

Compare with UPS or normal inverter, INVERTER combines a solar charger inside. Solar charger can be
a supplement for battery when there is not grid or for saving energy purpose. And with the solar charger,
the inverter can have more working modes than UPS. For detail information please refer to our user
manual.

 1.3 Inverter family
This service manual includes different models of the inverter, the table as below contains some important
parameters with different models.
These models names are only neutral names; please match the real model name of your inverter to the model
name in the table by comparing the typical characteristics.
Model name Power rating Solar charger Solar charger Off-grid/Hybrid

2. Troubleshooting
2.1 How to do
When the inverter was faulty, normally there are two main symptoms:
 No display at all;
 Fault code or warning code on the LCD;
When the fault occurred, please help to record the fault information and follow “How to check” of part 2.3
to check the inverter, then feedback the checking result to the service center. It will be very helpful for
solving the problem as soon as possible.

2.2 Check the fault information

Please follow the steps as below to find the issues!
Make sure that you can finish all the steps and feedback us the results. Or we may not be able to
give you the right solution.
Step 1: Test the battery working mode.
Before turning on the inverter, only connect the battery with the inverter which means no solar input and
grid input. Turn on the switch, the LCD will light up and wait for the battery connecting to load.
If the connection is failed, please record the fault code.
Step 2: Test the grid charging mode.
Before turning on the inverter, only connect the utility and battery with the inverter. Without press any
buttons, the LCD will light up. And wait for the utility connecting to battery.
If the connection is failed, please record the fault code.
Step 3: Test the solar charging mode.
Before turning on the inverter, only connect the solar and battery with the inverter. Without press any
buttons, the LCD will light up. And wait for the solar connecting to battery.
If the connection is failed, please record the fault code.

2.3 Fault condition

Note:
When open the top cover, please have a look first, are there any obviously damaged parts?
When take the main board out, please have a look around, are there any obviously damaged
parts?
2.2.1. Not working at all/ No display
Description The inverter couldn’t startup completely.
Possible reason 1. SPS module damaged.
How to check 1. Firstly, please measure the resistor between BAT+ and BAT-. If it is not shorted,
only connect the inverter with battery, and press “ON” button, could the inverter
startup? If not, please check the fan.
2. If the LCD couldn’t light up and fan doesn’t work, please disconnect all the wires
and open the top cover, and then take the main board outside by following part 4.

How to solve Replace the main board.
2.2.2. 09 fault
Description Bus soft start fails.
Possible reason DC-DC module was damaged.
How to check Check the main board by following “3.1~3.4”;
How to solve Repair the main board or replace it directly.
2.2.3. 56 fault
Description Battery couldn’t be detected.
Possible reason Wire connection or fuse was burnt.
How to check 1. Check the wire connection, the priority of the battery cable;
2. Check the main board by following “3.1”.
How to solve Repair the main board or replace it directly.

2.4 Test step

After replacing all defected components, testing steps can be used to confirm the repair result and the
reliability of the Inverter.

Set up the testing system as below:

Diode SD: 0.43V

Note1: When you use the multimeter to measure the resistor of the transistor, because of the capacitor in
the circuit, it will cause the changing of the values when you measure the DS and GD. So we recommend
you measure the diode forward voltage of SD, and the resistor of GS. These two values can reflect the
situation of the transistor more correctly.
Note: If one or more of them were damaged, please replace all of them.

3.1.1. Drivers (This part is only used for repair checking)

Note: Drivers usually need to be checked when users want to repair the boards. Because when power
devices were damaged, the high voltage will rush to driver circuit through the gates of power devices.
The reference of the resistors list as below:
R41/R59/R70/R76/R80/R78/R75/R42/R52/R62/R81/R64/R93/R92/R87/R53

Use multimeter to measure each resistor, find the burnt resistors and replace them; don’t need to replace
them all.
