4.Explanation of Operating Logic
TN -1500 (CPU controlled inve rter) is des igne d to achiev e the go al o f en ergy
saving and pos sesses both UP S an d Energ y sa ving mo des . Th ese 2 modes are
us er adjus table. T he unit will be facto ry s et in the UP S m ode . D ependin g on
we ather an d utility conditio ns, use rs can m anu ally adjust o r use th e monit oring
software to switch to the Energy sav ing mod e.
Th e main difference between UPS and En ergy saving mo de is the amount o f
energy con served. Under the U PS mode, the unit will remai n in the B ypa ss m ode
as long as utility is availabl e. Thus less energy is conserved (refer to Fi g. 4.1 for
UPS m ode control logic). Under the E nergy saving mode, the priority of inpu t
source cho sen is solar pan el AC m ain battery. If a vailable, the CP U will select
external solar panels a s its first priority in orde r to conserve en ergy. In case o f
insufficient sol ar power and utility failure, battery power will be draw n as the last
resort. When the capacity of batteries is around 1 0~20%, the CPU will re mind
end users by continuou sly sending out w arning siren until the system shuts d own .

Figure 4.1: D iagram of UPS M ode Control Log ic
t1: To ensure the battery is at full capacity, when the T N-1500 is turned on , the
CPU will execute th e "Bypa ss M ode" automatically connecting the AC main to
the loa d. In the m ean time, it will activate both th e A C charger and solar
charger to simultaneou sly charge the batteries.
t2: Wh en the batte ries are full (battery voltage around 28.5V), both the AC and
solar charger will be turned off by the C PU to prevent overcharging and
reducing the battery lifetime. In the meantime, the system will remain in the
"Bypass Mode" and AC electricity provided to the loads is coming from public
utility.
6
t3: At this time period, TN-1500 is still in the Bypass mode. The battery voltage
level w ill d ecrease gradually d ue to standby power dissipation. Whe n the
batteries a re c onsumed to around 75% of their c apacity (ba ttery voltage
around 26.5V) the CPU will restart the charger. The CPU will use charging
current of 3 A as a guide point. When the provided charging current is u nder
3A , the AC charger will be turned ON (e.g. Night tim e or cloudy day). As for
charging current of ove r 3A, the solar charger will be turned O N in stead.
t4: If the energy provid ed by th e charger is larger than what is cons umed by the
load, voltage o f battery bank w ill increase gradually u ntil 28.5V is rea ched
then the CPU will be s hut off the charger to preve nt overcharging. A t this
point, output lo ad is still supplied by utility.
t5: Since the chargers are in the OFF mode, the battery voltage will grad ually
decrease to the range o f 26.5~28.5V (floating voltage le vel). If utility were to
fail at this mom ent, the CPU will automatically switch (<10m s) to the inverter
mode insuring u nin terrupted po wer.
t6: Once utility recovers, the CP U will switch back to the bypass mode.
t7: When battery voltage drops to below 26.5V, the battery charger will be
activated to charge the ba ttery bank (refe r to t3 for detailed description).
t8: Same as t4.
t9: Du e to lack of utility, TN-1500 will switch to the inverter mode. AC charging
functio n will be turned off. Since AC output relies pu rely on battery power, the
battery bank will be deplete d rather quickly.
t10: A s the battery di scharges to belo w 26.5V and utility remains una vai lable.
O nly the sola r ch arger is turned ON. The battery bank could be depleted
rather quickly.
t11: Same as E nergy Savin g mode.
t12: When sola r ch arger is providin g current of larger than 3A, the vo ltage lev el o f
the battery bank w ill rise slow ly. O nce the ba ttery voltage reaches inverter
m ode reactivation level, the inverter will be revived.

F igure 4.2 Diagram of Energy Saving M ode Control Logic
t1 : When the TN-1500 is turned on, CPU will execute the "Bypas s Mode"
automatically conn ecting the A C m ain to the lo ad. In the m ean tim e, it will
activate both the A C charge r an d so lar charger to simultaneously ch arge the
batteries.
t2 : When the batteries are ful l (ba ttery voltage around 28.5V), both the AC and
solar charger will be turne d off to prevent overcharging a nd reducing the
battery lifetime . In the m eantime , the system will switch to the "Inverter M ode"
and the AC electric ity provided to the loads will be coming from the batteries.
t3: When the batteries are de pleted to around 75% of their capacity (battery
voltage aro und 26.5V), CP U w ill restart the solar cha rger but not the AC
charger to achieve the purpose of en ergy-saving.
t4: If the energy provided b y the solar p anels is larg er than the load requirem ent,
voltage of battery ban k will increa se gradually until reaching 90% capacity
(battery vo ltage around 28.5V) and then the solar charger will be shut off to
prevent the batteries from overcharg ing .
8
t5: When the capacity of batteries go down to about 75% (battery voltag e around
26.5V), solar charg er w ill restart and beg in charg ing.
t6: If the energy provided by the solar panels is lower than consumed by the loads,
voltage of battery bank w ill decrease gradually to 20% of its capacity
(battery voltage aro und 22V), the b uilt-in bu zzer will be activated and inform
the users to take proper action.
t7: If the power consumption of the loads d oes not decrease an d the AC main is
normal, CPU w ill detect this and the unit will be transferred to "Bypass Mo de".
Th e utility will provide energy to the loads and charge th e battery ba nk at the
same time in order to preve nt the un it from shutting off. If the so lar current is
higher than 3A , the CP U will not a ctivate the "AC charger" and just let the
"Solar Charger" charge the batteries to achieve the goal of energy-saving.
t8: When lacki ng AC main, the C PU will shut down the whole system if the capacity
of external battery bank is less than 10% (battery voltage around 21V)
in order to p revent o ver-discharging and reducing its lifetime. After shut d own ,
the CP U will pro vide LE D in dication to the user know why the inverter has shut
off.
5. Initial Setup of TN/TS-1500 (Operating Mode, O utput Voltage, Frequency,

5.1 In itial Sta te
The initial state of TN/TS-1500 is set to 120Vac/60Hz or 230Vac/50Hz, "UPS mode"
and disabled "Saving Mode" is activated. If the users need to revise it for certain
application, it can be done through the setting button on the front panel (Please
refer to section 5.3). The unit will start up automatically after the setting procedure
is finished and the new settings will be executed. These new settings will be kept
ev en if AC, battery, and sola r is disc onnecte d or occu rrence o f fault condition s
leading to failure of output voltage thus requi ring powering the inverter OFF and

6. Protection
6.1 In put Protection
(A)Battery Polarity Protection: If the battery input is connected in reverse
polarity, the internal fuse will blow and the inverter should be send back to
MEAN WELL for repair.
(B)Battery Under Voltage Protection: When the battery voltage is lower than
the pre set value, the inverter will automatically terminate the output and
"Battery Low" signal on the front panel will light up. Please refer to Table 6.1
for more detail about the failure signals d isplayed through the "Load M eter."
(C)Battery Over Volta ge Protection: When th e battery voltage is too high ,
inverter will automatically terminate the output and the built-in buzzer will
activate to inform the us ers. Please refer to Table 6.1 for more detail about
the failure signals displayed through the "Load Meter."
WARNING:
Please choose suitable batteries that is within the rated input DC
voltage of TN/TS-1500 (refer to the S PEC). If the input DC voltage is
too low (ex. using 12Vdc battery bank for 24Vdc input models), TN/TS1500 can't be started up prop erly. If the input DC voltage is too high
(ex. using 48Vdc battery bank for 24Vdc inp ut models), TN /TS-1500
will be damaged!
(D)Solar C harger Over Cu rrent Protection: The m aximum chargin g current
of the b uilt-in solar charger is 30A. If the charging current is too high, the
internal fuse will blow and the inverter sh ould be send back to MEAN WELL
for repair.

6.2 Ou tput Protection
(A)Bypass M ode: Uses "No Fu se Breaker" as automatic over current
protection. When over current occurs, the button of the circuit breaker on
the front panel will pop up and the inverter will shut down. At this time,
users should remove th e loads, restart the inverter and press down on the
button of the circuit breaker and the AC output can now be provided
normally.
(B)Inverter M ode: Under the "Inverter Mode", if any abnormal situ ation
occurs, the front panel will send out failure messages through the "Load
Meter" (Please refe r to Table 6.1).
(1)Over Temperature Pro tection: When the internal temperature is h igher
than th e limit value , the "O ver Temperature Protection" will be activated.
The unit will automatically turn off and should be restarted ag ain.
(2)AC Output Ab normal Pro tection: When the AC output voltage of the
inverter is too high or too low, the unit will turn off and should be restarte d
again.
(3)AC Output Short Circuit Pro tection: When a short circuit situation
occurs at the output side of the inverte r or the load increase greatly in a
short p eriod of time, the unit will turn off and should b e restarted again.
(4)Battery Voltage Ab normal Pro tection: Wh en the battery voltage is too
high or too low, this protection will be activated. T he inverter will autorecove r once the battery voltage go back to a safe level and users d o not
need to restart it.
(5)Ou tput Ove rloa d P rotection: When output is overloaded betwee n 15 00W
~ 1750W, the inverter can continuously provide power for 3 minu tes. After
that, if the overload condition is not removed, the overload protection will
be activated. When the load is higher than 1875W, the overload protection
will activate instantly. For these ove rload protections, once activ ated, yo u
should reset the unit.

7. Installation & Wiring
(A)Wiring for Batteries: Wire connections should be as short as pos sible and
less than 1.5 meter is highly recommended. Make sure that suita ble wires are
chosen based on Safe ty requirement and ratin g of current. Too small crosssection will result in lower efficiency, less outp ut power, and the wires may
also become overheated and cause danger. P lease refer to Table 7.1 and
consult our local distrib utor if you have any questions.
