Growatt SPH4000 Installation Manual

Backup mode
If Grid lost, system would turn to backup mode (user can disable it, refer to 6.3.4) and AC output from EPS
LOAD port, all the energy from PV and battery, if the battery also lost, then only battery discharge. Mind you,
SPH maximum output power is 3000W in this mode, the load which connect with EPS LOAD should less than
3000W.
Notice:
1. Users only can set one period for battery first and Grid first on the LCD, if users need set more pleases
login shineserver.
2. If users need Grid charge battery, users need input password on the SC surface and set the AC CHG to
enable.
6.2.2 Fault mode
The SPH’s intelligent control system could monitor and adjustment system’s status continuously, when SPH
inverter monitoring anything unexpected happen, such as system fault or machine fault ,the LCD will display
the fault information, in fault mode, the LED light will be lighten.
Notice:
1. The detail’s fault information please refer to 9.1
2. Some fault information is in order to remind users that might have some faults occurred in inverter side.
6.2.3 Programming mode
Programming mode indicates the SPH is updating, don't cut out power when it's updating until the processing
is finish, SPH inverter would log out automatically when the updating finish and turn to other mode.
6.2.4 Checking mode
Before SPH work in normal mode, it will go to self-check mode. If all are ok, system will go to normal mode,
otherwise, it will go to fault mode.
6.2.5 Standby mode
If the system hasn't faults while the condition is not qualified, SPH would stay at standby mode.
6.2.6 Shutdown mode
If customer need SPH inverter stop working, customer must disconnect all the energy source, then SPH inverter
will turn into shutdown mode automatically.
The following is the shutdown procedure:
1. Shutdown the PV side
2. Turn off battery switch.
3. Shut down AC power of SPH. Then you can see the both LED and LCD of SP are off.
Notice:
After all the actions are done, you still have to wait for more than 5 minutes.
