5.0 Installation 5.1 Package Contents Before installation, please inspect the unit to ensure nothing inside the package is damaged. Package contents: • Any-Grid unit • This manual • RS-232 cable (SUB-D to RJ-45) • Parallel communication cable (gray connectors, needed for systems with multiple Any-Grid units) • Current sharing cable (green connectors, needed for systems with multiple Any-Grid units on a phase) • 3 pcs. ring terminals for battery connection (2 pcs.
Fig. 3.2: Installation of cable glands (PSW-H-5KW-120/48V and PSW-H-8KW-230/48V) 1. Remove faceplate by removing 4 screws (Fig. 3, left). 2. Assemble battery wiring extension box and mount in place of the faceplate (Fig. 3, right) with screws. 3. Install the 5 (PSW-H-3KW-120/24V, Fig. 3.1, right) or 4 (PSW-H-5KW-120/48V and PSW-H-8KW-230/48V, Fig. 3.2) included cable glands. 5.
• • Ensure a minimum distance to other objects and surfaces as shown in Fig. 5.1 to guarantee sufficient heat dissipation and to have enough space for removing wires. Fig. 5.1: Minimum distance to other objects Install in a room where noise is not an issue as the unit has fans for cooling. Under maximum load, the fan noise typically does not exceed 60 dBa. Under no load, but with the AC output turned on, the minimum noise is approximately 35 dBa, as the fans rotate at about 30% of their maximum speed.
Crimp one battery ring terminal (included) to each the positive and negative battery lead (unit side). If choosing ring terminals other than the included ones, make sure they have an inside ring diameter of 8.4 mm, 0.31 in (PSW-H-5KW-120/48V, PSW-H-6.5KW-120/48V and PSW-H-8KW-230/48V) or 6.4 mm, 0.25 in (all other models) to fit the battery terminal bolts of the Any-Grid securely. 2.

WARNING: Ensure the battery cable fuse is removed or breaker is secured in the open position.
5.6 PV Connection WARNING: Before connecting the PV module array to the PV input of the Any-Grid, install a DC circuit breaker between each Any-Grid PV terminal pair and the PV modules. This ensures the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and is protected from over-current of the PV modules. PV modules produce a dangerous voltage even at low light. Make sure the breaker is open / off for the rest of the installation procedure until instructed otherwise.

5.9 Installing Multiple Units in Parallel, Split Phase or 3-Phase Configuration Introduction This entire chapter is only relevant if using more than one Any-Grid unit. Multiple Any-Grid units of the same model number can be used either in parallel on a single phase, split-phase / 2-phase (only 120 Vac models), or in a 3phase configuration with a common neutral. All units must be connected to the same battery bank.
input are then connected to the AC source, the bus bars from the AC output are connected to the distribution panel and loads. PV Connections: Use the PV connection as described for individual units. Each unit must be connected to its own PV array and must not have any electrical contact to any other units’ PV arrays. CAUTION: Connecting a single PV array to multiple Any-Grids simultaneously will damage the Any-Grid units.
