2. Please do not disassemble or attempt to repair Phocos products. This unit does not contain user serviceable parts. Damage to the warranty seal will lead to a loss of warranty of the product and can lead to injury.
3. To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect all wirings before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Switching off the unit is not sufficient, turn off and / or disconnect all connections to the unit.
4. For safe operation of this unit, please adhere to appropriate cable size requirements in this manual.
5. Be very cautious when working with uninsulated metal tools on or around batteries. They can short-circuit batteries or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion and / or injury.
6. Strictly follow the installation procedure when connecting or disconnecting AC or DC terminals. Please refer to the "Installation" section of this manual for details.
7. Appropriate fuses or breakers are required near the battery supply and AC input and AC output of this unit.
8. WARNING: It is highly recommended and legally required in many countries to install a Type B residual current device (RCD) between the AC output of the unit(s) and the AC loads to protect humans from hazardous electric shock due to faulty AC wiring, faulty loads or a potential inverter fault. Only in Off-Grid mode, the neutral (N) and ground (PE) of the AC output are automatically bridged inside the AnyGrid to ensure the RCD's functioning if the AC installation is wired correctly as a TN-S or TN-C-S earthing system. In a TN-C-S installation the bridge between neutral (N) and ground (PE) must be between the public grid and AC input of the Any-Grid to ensure that there is never more than one bridge between N and PE.
9. Never allow any AC or DC connections to be short-circuited. Do not connect to the mains when the battery input is short-circuited.
10. Only qualified service persons may service this device. If errors persist after following the "Troubleshooting" section in this manual, please send this unit back to a local Phocos dealer or service center for maintenance.
11. WARNING: Because this inverter (AC output) is not isolated from the PV input, only solar panels are acceptable for use which do not require positive or negative grounding as grounding the positive or negative PV cables is not allowed. To avoid any malfunction, do not connect any PV modules with possible current leakage to the inverter. For example, positive- or negative-grounded PV modules will cause current leakage to the inverter. Grounding of the PV module frame is permitted and frequently required by local law. The battery is galvanically isolated from the inverter and PV input, therefore the battery positive or negative terminal may be grounded if required.
12. CAUTION: When using more than one Any-Grid, ensure that each Any-Grid is connected only to its own PV array. There may be no electrical contact between units' PV arrays or the Any-Grids will be damaged.
13. CAUTION: It is highly recommended to use a surge arrester, also named surge protective device (SPD) near the PV input terminals of this unit. This is to prevent damage to the unit from lightning, thunderstorms or other voltage surges on the PV cables. The max. DC operating voltage of the SPD must be between 450 and 480 Vdc for 230 Vac models. For example the Citel DS240-350DC is suitable. For 120 Vac models the max. DC operating voltage must be between 250 to 280 Vdc, so for example the Citel DS240-220DC is suitable.
14. CAUTION: It is highly recommended to use a surge arrester, also named surge protective device (SPD) near the AC input terminals of this unit, if the AC input is used. This is to prevent damage to the unit from lightning, thunderstorms or other voltage surges on the AC input conductors (for example coming from the public grid). The max. AC operating voltage of the SPD must be between 275 and 300 Vac for 230 Vac models. For example, the Citel DS41S-230 (for most public grids or generators, higher protection) or Citel DS41S-320 (for public grids with large voltage swings, lower protection) are suitable. For 120 Vac models the SPD must have a max. AC operating voltage between 140 and 150 Vac. For example, the Citel DS41S-120 is suitable

4.0 Overview
Functional Overview
This pure sine wave hybrid inverter charger with solar charge controller (MPPT) can provide power to connected loads by utilizing PV power, AC power and battery power. Most connections are optional, but there must be at least one power source (AC or PV):

PV Panels (optional)

AC Loads

Public Grid (optional)*

Battery (optional)

Phocos Any-GridTM

Removable Display

Hybrid Inverter Charger

(up to 9 units parallel, split-phase

or 3-phase)

AC Generator (optional)* * Any-GridTM accepts one AC input

Fig. 1: System Overview

This unit has one each of the following power connections: battery, PV, AC input, AC output. The unit is designed to provide continuous power from PV / battery or an AC source, depending on the set priority. Independently, the priority for charging the battery can be set (the battery can only be charged from AC when the unit is not working in Off-Grid mode). The switching time between Grid (also valid when an AC generator is used) and Off-Grid modes is only 10 milliseconds (typical) when a single Any-Grid unit is used. Timers can be used to change the priorities based on hourly time slots; this is useful for areas where grid power has differing costs throughout the day. The integrated maximum power point tracking (MPPT) solar charge controller can handle particularly high PV voltages, allowing for a simpler installation and lower costs than most Off-Grid solar charge controllers. Typically, no combiner boxes or string fuses / diodes are required.
The pure sine wave AC output and the surge power capability (twice the continuous power rating) assure all types of AC loads can be powered. Ensure that the peak power requirement of the loads is below the surge power capability of this inverter.
Two special functions allow even more flexibility: Battery-Free mode and Grid Injection.
In Battery-Free mode, no battery is connected to the unit and an AC source must be present. The unit will then provide as much power from PV as is available to supply loads, adding any missing power from the AC source. If there is more PV power available than can be utilized by the loads, then the PV power is reduced to ensure no power feedin into the grid.
The Grid Injection functionality allows feeding any excess power into the grid. If there is excess PV power beyond what is utilized by the load and for battery charging, this power can be fed into the public grid to take advantage of net metering or feed-in tariffs. In this way all the PV power can be used even if the battery is full and the loads do not require all the available PV power. Feeding into the grid may be prohibited in some areas so this function is locked by a PIN code to avoid accidental grid injection.

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. This chapter is an addition to all other sections above in the chapter "Installation", please adhere to all guidelines and safety instructions in those sections accordingly.
Parallel operation on a single phase is possible with up to 9 units.
Alternatively, 3-phase configuration is possible, whereby at least one unit must be installed on each of the 3 phases with a maximum of 7 units on a phase. The total number of units may not exceed 9 in any case.
For 120 Vac models split-phase (2-phase) operation is possible whereby at least one unit must be installed on each of the 2 phases with a maximum of 8 units on a phase. The total number of units may not exceed 9 in any case.
CAUTION: If using an AC source, each unit must be connected to a neutral and a phase conductor, never two phases.
Mounting the Units
When installing multiple units, please keep a minimum distance between the units as shown in Fig. 13.

Fig. 13: Minimum distance between units and to other objects
Connections
Use the cable cross-sections, tightening torque and connectors as described for a single unit.
Battery Connection: Make sure to use a separate DC fuse or circuit breaker for each unit. Instead of connecting each unit to the battery, connect each positive battery cable to a bus bar, and each negative battery cable to a second bus bar. These bus bars are then connected to the battery terminals. The cross-section of the bus bars, and the cables from the bus bars to the battery terminals should equal the recommended battery cable cross-section per unit, times the number of units connected to it.
The minimum recommended battery capacity for lead-based batteries is 200 Ah per connected Any-Grid. For example, in a system with 3 units, the battery bank should have a capacity of at least 600 Ah.
CAUTION: All inverters must share the same battery bank. Otherwise, the inverters will go into fault mode.
CAUTION: Please install at least a breaker at the battery terminals and AC input of every individual Any-Grid unit. This will ensure each unit can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over-current of battery or AC input. Use the breaker ratings as described in the chapters "Battery Connection" and "AC Input and AC Output Connection".
AC Connections: Regarding AC input and output, please also follow the same principle. Use the wiring cross-section and circuit breaker as defined for each individual unit, then attach those wires to bus bars. The bus bars from the AC

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. If using PV, each unit must be connected to its own individual PV array, not electrically shared with any other units.
WARNING: Ensure all circuit breakers are open / disabled before wiring the units so that there is no voltage on all battery, AC and PV wires.
General rules for the communications connections (see Fig. 2 Parallel Communication Port and Current Sharing Port):
1. Every unit must have both parallel communication ports occupied. These ensure phase synchronization and synchronization of parameters between the units.
2. Current sharing ports must only be occupied for those units where there is more than one unit on that particular phase. If there is only one unit on a phase, then current sharing cables must not be used. These current sharing cables ensure that all units on one phase operate at the same AC power output level.
3. Every parallel communication or current sharing cable used, must either be connected directly between two neighboring units, or with a maximum of one unit between them.
4. Connecting parallel communication cables, assuming units are numbered from 1 to 9 from left to right:
a) Connect the left black parallel communication port of unit 1 to the right port on unit 2.
b) Connect the right port of unit 1 to the left port of unit 3.
c) Connect the left port of unit 2 to the to the right port of unit 4.
d) Continue connecting the right port of each odd-numbered unit to the left port of the next oddnumbered unit. Continue connecting the left port of each even-numbered to the right port of the next even-numbered unit, until there are only two unoccupied black ports.
e) Connect the unoccupied black port of the last unit to the unoccupied black port of the second-tolast unit.
5. Connecting current sharing cables just like step 4, assuming units are numbered from 1 to 9 from left to right on a particular phase (there must be no connection of current sharing cables between any two phases' units!):
a) Connect the left green current sharing port of unit 1 to the right port on unit 2.
b) Connect the right port of unit 1 to the left port of unit 3.
c) Connect the left port of unit 2 to the to the right port of unit 4.
d) Continue connecting the right port of each odd-numbered unit to the left port of the next oddnumbered unit. Continue connecting the left port of each even-numbered to the right port of the next even-numbered unit, until there are only two unoccupied green ports on the particular phase.
e) Connect the unoccupied green port of the last unit to the unoccupied green port of the second-tolast unit.
f) Repeat steps 5a to 5e for further phases with more than one unit.
The following section will show a few examples of how the parallel communication and current sharing cables are mounted. For better visibility download this manual in color at www.phocos.com.
Once commissioning is completed, the following settings menus (see chapter "Device Operation Settings") are automatically synchronized between all units: 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 12, 13, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39 and 41. All settings not mentioned here and priority timers can be set on each unit individually.

Commissioning
CAUTION: Before continuing, ensure the wiring is correct according to the previous chapter. Particularly that all units are connected to the same neutral wire at the AC input and all AC output neutral terminals are connected to a separated common neutral wire. Ensure that all AC input breakers and AC output breakers are open on each individual Any-Grid unit and that each unit is turned off with its AC output on/off switch. Ensure each unit is disconnected from PV but connected to the battery via its battery breaker / fuse. The battery breaker must be closed / inserted to ensure each unit can function for commissioning.
Parallel in Single Phase
Follow these steps once the wiring is completed:
1. Turn on one unit with its AC output on/off switch. If PV is available, switch it on with its breaker. Otherwise, if an AC source is available, switch it on with its AC input breaker.
2. In the Settings Menu (see chapter "Device Operation Settings") navigate to settings menu 28.
3. Turn the AC output on/off switch off to deactivate the AC output. The unit will remain in Stand-By mode for under a minute and the display will stay on for this time.
4. Set the menu number 28 setting from the default value "Single" (SIG) to "Parallel" (PAL). This will not be possible if the unit is not turned off as described in the previous step. Press so the entry stops blinking. Now press the button to accept the new setting and return to the main view.
5. Switch off the PV and AC input breaker if they were on. Wait for the unit to shut down automatically, the display will then turn off completely.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 with each further unit connected in parallel.

7. Now turn on each unit. One unit will automatically and randomly be defined as the host unit and will show the host screen, all other units will show the client screen on their display:

Screen of Host unit

Screen of Client unit(s)

8. Switch on the AC input breaker of each unit in quick succession, if an AC source is installed. If this takes too long, then some units may show fault 82 on their screen, but they will restart automatically and upon
detecting a valid AC input, will function normally. The displays will show the following:

Screen of Host unit

Screen of Client unit(s)

9. If there are no further faults displayed, the parallel system installation is complete. The breakers on the AC output of each unit can be switched on and then loads may be connected.

3-Phase, One or more Units per Phase

Follow these steps once the wiring is completed:

1. Turn on the unit on phase 1 with its AC output on/off switch. If PV is available, switch it on with its breaker. Otherwise, if an AC source is available, switch it on with its AC input breaker.

2. In the Settings Menu (see chapter "Device Operation Settings") navigate to settings menu 28.

3. Turn the AC output on/off switch off to deactivate the AC output. The unit will remain in Stand-By mode for under a minute and the display will stay on for this time.

4. Set the menu number 28 setting from the default value "Single" (SIG) to "Phase L1" (3P1). This will not be possible if the unit is not turned off as described in the previous step. Press so the entry stops blinking. Now press the button to accept the new setting and return to the main view.

5. Switch off the PV and AC input breaker if they were on. Wait for the unit to shut down automatically, the display will then turn off completely.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 with each further unit connected on the same phase 1. Then repeat steps 1 to 5 for each unit in phase 2 and, instead of choosing "Phase L1" in step 4, choose "Phase L2" (3P2). Then repeat steps 1 to 5 for each unit in phase 3 and, instead of choosing "Phase L1" in step 4, choose "Phase L3" (3P3).

7. Now turn on each unit. The units will show the following in their respective screens:

Screen of Units on Phase L1

Screen of Units on Phase L2

Screen of Units on Phase L3

8. Switch on the AC input breaker of each unit in quick succession, if an AC source is installed. If this takes too

long, then some units may show fault 82 on their screen, but they will restart automatically and upon detecting a valid AC input, will function normally.

9. If a valid AC input source is detected and the three phases match with the unit settings in settings menu
number 28, they will work normally. Otherwise, the symbol will flash and Grid Mode will not function. In this case, check that the order or the three phases is correct. If necessary, turn off all units and then switch the setting in settings menu number 28 for all Phase L2 units to Phase L3 and vice-versa by following steps 1 to 5. Then continue with step 7. The displays will now show the following:

Screen of Units on Phase L1

Screen of Units on Phase L2

Screen of Units on Phase L3

10. If there are no further faults displayed, the 3-phase system installation is complete. The breakers on the AC output of each unit can be switched on and then loads may be connected.

Split-Phase (2-Phase), One or more Units per Phase

Follow these steps once the wiring is completed:

1. Turn on the unit on phase 1 with its AC output on/off switch. If PV is available, switch it on with its breaker. Otherwise, if an AC source is available, switch it on with its AC input breaker.

2. In the Settings Menu (see chapter "Device Operation Settings") navigate to settings menu 28.

3. Turn the AC output on/off switch off to deactivate the AC output. The unit will remain in Stand-By mode for under a minute and the display will stay on for this time.

4. Set the menu number 28 setting from the default value "Single" (SIG) to "Phase L1 for split-phase" (2P1). This will not be possible if the unit is not turned off as described in the previous step. Press so the entry stops blinking. Now press the button to accept the new setting and return to the main view.

5. Switch off the PV and AC input breaker if they were on. Once the setting is confirmed, wait for the unit to shut down automatically, the display will then turn off completely.

6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 with each further unit connected on the same phase 1. Then repeat steps 1 to 5 for each unit in phase 2 and, instead of choosing "Phase L1 for split-phase" in step 4, choose "Phase L2 for split-phase" (2P2).

7. Now turn on each unit. The units will show the following in their respective screens:

Screen of Units on Phase L1

Screen of Units on Phase L2

8. Switch on the AC input breaker of each unit in quick succession, if an AC source is installed.

8.0 Operation
Inverter Power ON/OFF

Fig. 20: Display module ON/OFF load button location
Ensure the "ON/OFF" switch located on the display module (Fig. 20) is in the "OFF" position after the initial installation (the button must not be depressed).
Now activate the circuit breakers or insert the fuses to energize the various inputs and outputs in the following order (skip any that are not connected):
1. Battery
2. AC input
3. PV input
4. AC output
Next, press the "ON/OFF" switch to turn on the AC output and thus connected AC loads and the entire unit.
If the "ON/OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position, then the unit will be completely off when there is insufficient sunlight. If PV modules are connected and there is sufficient PV voltage, the unit and display will wake up automatically to charge the batteries during the day. Once the PV voltage drops below the threshold, the unit will again turn completely off to save energy during the night. The AC output and thus the AC loads will remain off as long as the "ON/OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position.

Utility / AC input first (Default)
"USB" for: Utility Solar Battery

AC input / utility will provide power to the loads as first priority. If there is excess solar power beyond what is required for battery charging, this power is used to supply power to the loads instead. The battery is
not discharged (Grid mode).

Solar and battery will provide power to the loads when AC input / utility power is unavailable (OffGrid mode).

Solar / PV first
"SUB" for: Solar Utility Battery

Solar provides power to the loads as first priority. If solar power is not sufficient to power all connected loads, AC input / utility power will supply the loads simultaneously (Grid mode).

AC output source priority:

Configure the priority of

which power sources supply

the AC output load

If no solar power is available (ex. at night), AC input / utility power is used exclusively. The battery is only discharged when the AC input / utility power is unavailable (OffGrid mode).

SBU priority
"SBU" for: Solar Battery Utility

Solar powers the loads as first priority. If solar power is not sufficient to power all connected loads, the battery will supply power to the loads at the same time. The
Any-Grid is disconnected from the grid at this time (Off-Grid mode).

AC input / utility provides power to the loads (Grid mode) only when the battery voltage drops to either low-level warning voltage or the
setting point in settings menu 12.

When first applying SBU priority, it may take up to 10 minutes for the Any-Grid to switch to Off-Grid mode.
