inverter)
‧Risk of electrical shock and energy hazard. All failures should be examined by a
qualified technician. Please do not remove the ca se o f the inverter by yourself!
‧After connecting the AC input of the inverter to the utility, the AC outlet of the inverter
will have AC output even if the power switch on the front panel is in the OFF position.
‧It is highly recommen ded to m oun t the unit horizontally.
‧Plea se d o no t install the inverter in places with hig h moisture o r nea r wa ter.
‧Plea se d o no t install the inverter in places with hig h ambient te mperature, under
direct sunlight, or near fire source.
‧Please only connect batteries with the same brand and model number in one battery
bank. Using batteries from different manufacturers or different capacities is strictly
proh ibited!
‧Never allow a spark or fla me in the vic inity of the batteries.
‧Make sure the air flow from the fan is not obstructed at both sides (front and back)
of the inverter. (P lease allow at least 15cm of space)
‧Plea se d o no t stack any object on the inverter as it may impede heat dissipation.

4.Ex planation of Operating Logic
TN -3000 is CPU di gital controlled true sine wave DC/AC inve rter. It is designed to
ac hiev e th e ta rget of e n erg y co n se rvatio n a nd pos sess es b oth UPS an d en ergy
saving modes. These 2 modes are user adjustable. The unit will be factory set in the
UPS mode. Depending on weather and utility conditions, users can manually adjust
(re fer to se ction 5.3) or use the mon itoring softw are to sw itch to the e nergy sa ving
mode.
Th e main d iffe re nc e be twe en t he U P S a nd Ene rgy savi ng m ode is t he a m ou nt o f
energy conserved. Under the UPS mode, the unit will remain in the bypass mode as
long as utility is available, thus less energy is conserved (refer to figure 4.1 for details
of UPS mo d e c o nt rol lo gic). Un d er the E ne rg y s avi ng m o de , th e pr io rit y of in pu t
so u rc e ch o se n i s s o la r pa n el → AC ut il i ty → b a t te r y. I f av a i la b l e, t h e C PU wi l l
automatically select external solar panel as its first priority in order to conserve energy.
In case of insufficient solar power and utility failu re, battery power will be drawn as
the last the last resort. When the capacity of batteries drops to around 10~20% , the
CP U w ill re min d th e en d us er b y continuous ly s ending o ut w arning s iren until the
system shuts d own .

t1: To ensure the battery is at full capacity, when the TN-3000 is turned ON, the CPU
will execute the "bypass mode" automatically connecting the AC main to the load.
I n th e m e a nt i m e , i t w i l l a c ti v a te b ot h t h e A C c h a r ge r an d so l a r c h a r g e r t o
simultaneously charge the batteries.
t2 : When the batteries are full (battery voltage around 28.5V), both the AC and solar
ch arge r will be turn ed O FF by t he C PU to pr eve nt ov erc harg ing and redu cin g
battery lifetime .
t3 : At this time period, TN-3000 is still in the bypass mode. The battery voltage level
will decrease gradually due to standby power dissipation. When the batteries are
consum ed to ar oun d 90 % o f the ir ca pac ity (batte ry v olta ge a rou nd 2 6.5V ) th e
CP U will restart the charger. The CPU will use so lar charging current of 3A as a
guideline. When the provided charging current is >3A (solar charge LED indicator
turns ON), the solar charger will be used to charge the battery. When the provided
solar ch arging c urre nt is under 3 A, the AC charger will be turn ed ON (e.g. nigh t
7
tim e or clou dy d ay) taking over batte ry charging duty and at t his time the sola r
cha rger indicator w ill tu rn O FF.
t4 : With th e ch arge r activa ted, voltage of th e ba ttery ba nk w ill in crea se g radually
un til 2 8 .5V is r eac hed the n the CP U w i ll sh u t o ff the ch arg e r to p rev en t ove r
charging. A t th is tim e, outp ut lo ad is still supplied by utility.
t5 : If utility we re to fail at this m ome nt, the C PU will auto matically sw itch (<10ms)
to the inverter m ode insurin g uninte rrup ted power.
t6 : Once utility recovers, the CPU will switch back to the bypass mode.
t7 : Wh en b att e ry v o lta g e d r op s to b elo w 2 6 .5V, th e CP U w ill a gain act ivat e the
charger to charge th e b attery banks (refer to t3 fo r detaile d description).
t8 : Same as t4.
t9 : Du e to lack of u tilit y, th e CP U w ill s w itc h to th e i nve rter m od e . S ince uti lity i s
unavailable and it is night time/cloudy, the charging function is in the O FF m ode.
The AC output relies purely on battery power. So, the battery bank will be depleted
rather quickly.
t10 : As the battery discharges below 26.5V and utility rem ains unavailable and only
the solar charger is ON. The ba ttery bank will continue to discharge at a quick
pace.
t11 : The battery eventually becomes completely discharged and the inverter shuts
down because utility is unavailable. Only when the solar charger current is >3A
(d ay time /sunny) w ill charging recomm enc e and the battery voltage leve l will
gradually increase.
t1 2 : O nce the b atte ry vo lta g e leve l has ris e n to a le v el cap able of r esta rtin g the
inverter, the inverter w ill autom atically restart. At this time, utility is still OFF,
so power to th e load is provide d by the inverter.
t1 3 : U tility power is st ill OFF. If th e eq u ipm e nt dra ws p owe r wh ich is lo w er than
what the solar panel can provide and the solar current is <3A, battery charging
w ill te rminate. Inverter will con tinue to provide powe r th rough the battery. Th e
subseque nt supply pe riod is subject to capa city of battery a nd load condition.
Note:
The advantage of the UPS mode is that battery voltage level will be maintained
at 90% at all time s. This insures that uninterru pted pow er c an be provided to
equip ment in case of utility failure. Backup period will d epend o n capac ity of
battery banks. UPS mode is suitable for areas where AC utility is readily available
such as offices and homes.

provided to the loads will be com ing from the batteries.
t3 : When the batteries are depleted to around 90% of their capacity (battery voltage
around 26.5V), CPU will start up the solar charger but not the AC charger to achieve
the goal of energy saving.
t4 : If t he e nergy provid ed by th e so lar p anels is larger than the load requirem ent ,

t7 : If th e p owe r co n sum pt io n o f the loa d s d oes n ot dec reas e an d th e AC ma in is
normal, the CPU will detect this and the unit will be transferred to "bypass mode."
The utility will provide electricity to the loads and charge the battery bank at the
sa me time in o rde r to p reve nt t he u nit fr om shu tting off. If th e so lar c urre nt is
hig her than 3A , the CP U w ill no t ac tivate th e AC cha rge r and jus t let the sola r
changer charge the batteries to ach ieve energy saving target.
t8 : When there is no AC main, the CPU will shutdown the whole system if the external
battery ban k vo ltag e is less than 21 V in order to prev ent ove r-dis charging an d
reducing its life time. After shutdow n, th e CPU w ill s till provide LED indic atio n
so the user knows why the inverter has shut off.
Note:
The advantage of the energy saving mode is that the user only has to add solar

m od e is suita ble for a rea s w h ere AC utility is no t rea d ily a vai lable su ch a s
mountain tops, boats, and vehicles. Even when AC utility is available, the main
source of power will still be solar, AC utility will supplement only when necessary.
This type of design cuts back the use of paid electricity thus reaching the goal
of energy conservation.
