together, all loads connect to the EPS (Off-grid)
port.
1. Introduction
2. Overview
3.1 Check Packing List
Open the package and check the materials and accessories according the following list.
3. Preparation
3.2 Tools
The bracket of the matebox is composed of three parts.
Bracket A is used to install the matebox. Bracket B is
used to fix the bracket position of the inverter, and
Bracket C is used to fix the bracket position of the
battery.
4. Mounting
First of all, connect inverter bracket, Bracket B, Bracket A, Bracket C and BAT bracket all together with
flange nuts.
Step 1: Connect all brackets
Then set bracket C on bracket A; Then bracket C is fixed on BAT bracket and the
screws are locked.
Fix the inverter bracket on bracket B; Then set bracket B on bracket A and fix it with
screws;
Step 2: Connect the BAT bracket and battery and push the whole structure to the wall
Note: The position of the battery base
mounting screws are two positions on the
inner side, refer to the following figure.
Screw
Step 3: Fix the position, drill holes and install the whole structure on the wall
a) With the position of the brackets as a template in
step 2, use a spirit level to mark the holes needed
on the wall with a marker pen.
b) Move away the structure and drill holes at marked
spots with depth of 60 mm.
c) Insert expansion bolts into the holes, use rubber
hammer to knock the expansion bolts into the wall.
d) The brackets are aligned with the screws, use the
inner hexagonal wrench to screw the tapping
screws until the expansion bolt "bang" is heard.
Step 4: Install inverter

Step 5: Install matebox
a) Cut off the strips of the box except the strips on the back of the box before installing the box. Open the
unlocked buckler of the matebox, open the upper cover and remove the protective cover; (open the
button by hand, open the cover and slide upwards.)
b) Put the matebox on the bracket. Make sure the box is well fixed on the bracket by screwing all nuts
tightly.

6. Wiring Connection
a) According to the BAT(INV)+ / BAT(INV)- line symbol on the matebox, insert the lines into the
corresponding BAT + / BAT- ports of the inverter.
b) Connect the CT cable of the matebox to the CT port of the inverter, and tighten the waterproof plug.

6.2 Matebox side connection
1) Open the protective cover. Connect the Grid1 L/N and EPS (Off-grid)1 L/N/PE lines between the inverter
and the matebox. The connection method is as follows:
a) First, insert Grid1 L/N and EPS (Off-grid)1 L/N into the matebox port firmly, and then gently pull to check
if they are connected properly and screw the waterproof plug tightly;
b) Connect the Grid (PE), use a philips screwdriver to tighten the screws.
2) Grid(L/N/PE) /Load(L/N) side connection.
a) Grid(L/N/PE) /Load(L/N) wire, remove the 12 mm insulation layer at the end of the wire. Insert The
European terminals respectively. The stripped terminals must be inserted into the European terminals and
finally pressed down with the crimping pliers.
13 mm
b) Grid(PE) strip the grounding cable, remove the 13 mm insulation layer at the end of the wire. Insert the
stripped cable into the R-type terminal, and then clamp it.
c) Pass the Grid/Load line through the Grid/Load port of the matebox, then find the Grid (L/N) and Load
(L/N) ports in the matebox, insert each line accordingly, and use the screwdriver to lock the screws.
Grid (PE) is secured with a philips screwdriver.
3) Take out the power cable from the BMS accessories, and cut it to 560-600 mm and strip 7 mm of the
insulation layer from the wire ends. Crimp the 6 mm BAT terminals on the wires. Then pass the cable
through the BAT port of the matebox, then find the BAT+ and BAT- ports in the matebox, insert each wire
accordingly, and use the philips screwdriver to lock the screws.

6.3 Ground wire connections
There are three parts that need to be grounded, one is between the inverter and the matebox, one
between the matebox and the battery and the other between the upper cover and the matebox.
6.4 Battery's communication wire connection
- When the distance between the matebox and the battery is < 1 m, you can use the BMS communication
line in the accessory bag.
- When the distance between the matebox and the battery is > 1 m, you need to prepare the regular
network cable and find the RJ45 terminal of the accessory package to make the cable.
The BMS port connection between the inverter and the battery (for the specific connection method,
please refer to the inverter and battery quick installation guide):
6.5 N lines short circuit (applicable in Australia)
- According to local regulations, the continuity of the neutral line of EPS load and that of the grid is not
interrupted when the inverter disconnects from the grid (for wiring Australia and New Zealand regulations
AS/ NZs_3000:2012).
- First, find N-terminal adjacent Bridge in the accessory package.
- Forcibly insert N-terminal adjacent bridge into the N-terminal hole and jam it. Twist gently and make sure
it would not become loose.
6.6 Finally, use a philips screwdriver to install the baffle back, install the upper cover,
and then lock the buckle with a key
