2. Mission Statement
In this technical training session, Apollo Solar will teach
and demonstrate the technical installation and operation of
the Apollo Solar Battery-Based Inverter/Chargers
1. The TSWs save time and money on installations because they
are easy to set up and operate. The Apollo ISM provides circuit
breaker housing. Complete pre-wired systems can be provided.
2. Apollo Solar provides all the electronics for battery-based
installations including the T80 and T80HV Charge Controller
and remote monitoring so system support is just a single call.
3. The unique Apollo Remote Monitoring provides system data to
any PC, thus eliminating many costly site visits.
4. The TSW is the only Inverter required for all your installations
because they provide 120VAC, 120/240VAC Split Phase up to
32kVA or 120/208VAC 3 phase up to 12kVA.

5. Off Grid System Design - Approach
1. Know the Loads ! MOST IMPORTANT STEP
a. Continuous loads with number of hours per day
b. Peak loads like starting motors and pumps
2. Size the Inverter to meet both load requirements
Leave plenty of head room – users will add loads in the future
3. Size the Battery to supply the daily loads
Keep the depth of discharge between 30 to 50%.
Battery storage capacity at least 2-3 times daily load requirement.
4. Size the PV array to recharge the battery in 1 day
Don’t forget that the sun may not shine every day.
5. Select the Charge Controller to recharge the battery
Watch the maximum Open Circuit Voltage limit.
6. Add Communication Devices to monitor the system
You should know how well each system is working all the time.

6. CAUTION – BATTERY CURRENT IS DANGEROUS
1. TURN OFF all circuit breakers including large Battery Circuit Breaker
before connecting battery or AC wiring.
2. Be careful of short circuits when connecting cables to batteries. A
short across the terminals can vaporize a wrench.
3. The sequence for powering up the Inverter / Charger is critical –
the battery voltage must be applied before the AC.
4. All connections must be tightened to the torque specified.
5. Wire sizes are critical. The high DC currents require heavy wire.
6. The AC voltage is lethal. Do not touch anything inside a TSW or ISM
unless the system is totally de-energized.
7. These systems have multiple sources of energy. Both the AC input
and the Battery connection must be disconnected before working
inside the enclosures.

7. Apollo Solar Inverter/Charger and Switchgear Module
The Apollo Solar True Sine Wave Inverter / Chargers are
available in 24 volt and 48 volt versions.
The TSW3224 is 3200 VA continuous at 24 volts and
the TSW4048 is 4000 VA continuous at 48 volts.
Both TSWs can be used in AC systems that are:
120/240 VAC Split Phase for US residential installations,
120 VAC single phase at 2X the current,
230 or 240 VAC only for foreign installations.
The frequency is switch selectable 50 or 60 Hz.
Each TSW is capable of over current for short periods:
200% for 7 seconds, 150% for 30 seconds, 120% for 30
minutes.
The TSWs can be stacked in parallel up to 32kVA for
Single and Split Phase and can be wired for up to 12kVA
120/208 3 Phase.
The Inverter Switchgear Module is designed to provide all
the circuit breakers for each inverter and can be stacked.
It is shown here as a sub-system assembled and pre-wired
by Apollo Solar, ready for installation. 7

17. Apollo Installations
These installations use our TSW Inverter /
Chargers to provide AC and to charge from a
generator in addition to our PV Charge Controllers.

18. Mounting Dimensions
and Air Flow
The TSW and ISM require a total of
37.4” in height. Since the battery wire
conduit is attached to the bottom of
the ISM, an additional 7” is
recommended under the ISM.
The ISM should be mounted first.
Air flow is required to cool the TSW
Inverter. At least 20 square inches of
air inlets are needed near the bottom
of the ISM, and 20 square inches for
air exhaust at the upper 1/3 of the
TSW as shown in the diagram.
If the air flow is restricted, the warranty
is void and damage can result.
18

19. TSW and ISM mounted on
back plate
The Inverter along with the Switchgear Module
is supplied mounted on the back plate wired and
tested.
It is ready to mount into an enclosure, when
required, and can even be on the outside wall of
a battery enclosure.
The “keyholes” at the top of the back plate make
it easy for one person to hang this assembly.

•It is common for industrial AC power to be supplied as 208 volt 3 phase.
•Motors and other heavy equipment run more efficiently on 3 phase power.
•In addition to 208 volts between any 2 legs, any single leg and neutral provides 120 volts
for standard single phase loads.
•The Battery Backup Unit shown in the drawing above produces 208 volts from 2 of the 3
phase legs and 120 volts from L1 to Neutral. Two 120V inverters are used with one
inverter on each of 2 legs.

32. Battery Charging with Temperature Compensation
1. A cold battery requires more voltage to achieve a full charge than a warm battery.
2. The TSW includes a temperature compensation constant using an external
battery temperature sensor.
3. The Battery Temperature Sensor should be located within the group of batteries
where it will be in contact with the highest temperature. A good place is in the
upper shelf of batteries, between batteries, in the middle of the group.
4. The nominal value for the Absorb and Float Set Points are set for 25 degrees C.
and the temperature compensation math modifies the Set Points up or down from
that point depending on the battery temperature.
5. The compensation rate is set for -5 mV per cell per degree C. That means that as
the temperature increases, the set points in the TSW are lowered by 0.005 volts
for each cell. A 48 volt battery has 24 cells, so the total is 0.120 volts lower for
each degree C of increased temperature. The compensation rate may be
selected from -2mV to -8mV/cell/deg C.
6. The TSW Inverter/Chargers have a safety feature. If the battery temperature
goes over a preset limit for any reason, the charging is immediately shut off.
32

33. Inverter Display
We noted that only one of the other Inverters in
our market has an internal display.
(The Schneider XW is the only [Off Grid] Inverter
with any display and that is just a 3 digit LED
for inverter watts and charge current only.)
We designed the TSW with an internal 2x16 LCD
which shows all the critical current values:
• AC Output Voltage
• Mode: Inverting or Charging
• AC Output Current
• Charging Current
• AC Output Power
• Error Codes
• AC Output Frequency
• ID Address
• DC Battery Voltage
• When stacked, the Master
• DC Battery Current shows Total System values

34. Inverter Parameter Setup Tools
We looked at all the possible ways to set up Inverter parameters in the field:
• Currently our industry uses 4 line LCDs with 4 to 7 buttons and/or a knob.
We think this approach takes far too much time to learn and to use.
• We chose instead to use a full color graphic screen. We eliminated the
leaning curve by putting all the data on a few easy-to-read pages.

35. Inverter Parameter Setup Tools
• We call the setup tool the Apollo Inverter Manager (AIM).
• The current software version is available on our Website at no cost.
• It runs on any Windows based Laptop PC.
• AND… We now offer a Netbook PC with the AIM preloaded and set to go.
• We will go over the details on the AIM later in the training.
• The AIM plugs into the TSW or stack of TSWs using the ASNET cable.
• A stack of parallel or 3 phase TSWs can be setup with 1 connection.

36. Inverter Start Up Sequence
1. Start with all circuit breakers turned OFF. Re-read the safety page.
2. Inspect all wiring for proper connection, torque per spec, and possible nicked
insulation. Repair or replace if necessary.
3. Turn the AC input breakers OFF, and the AC output breakers ON. (This will
automatically turn the Bypass breaker OFF via the toggle.)
4. Energize the AC line input power to 120VAC, 60Hz. Make sure the battery is
connected properly.
5. Attached a known load to the AC output. (Like a 120VAC work light.)
6. Turn the DC Battery Breakers ON. Note the TSW LCD Screen. After the initial
screen showing model, serial number, and firmware revision, it will say: AutoStart
in 5 seconds, followed by the main status screen (voltage, current, power). Verify
that the DC input voltage is 44 to 50 volts. Verify that AC output: 120VAC, 60Hz.
7. Switch the AC Output breakers ON. The work light should illuminate.
8. Switch the AC Input Breakers ON. The work light may blink, but should remain
illuminated. The AC is now being supplied from the Utility Line input.
9. The TSW LCD screens should show Charging Mode.

48. TSW Significant Advantages
1. Our AIM color graphic user interface is the quickest to learn and use.
2. Our TSW4048 can produce 120/240V Split Phase AND 120V at full
4kVA, and 230V all at either 50 or 60Hz.
Magnum can do only 3.5kVA at 120VAC, Outback has no 120/240.
3. The TSW4048s stack to 32kVA, and 3 phase to 12kVA.
Magnum stacks to 17.6kVA, No 3 phase
Outback stacks to 35kVA, 3 phase to 10.8kVA
XW stacks to 18kVA, 3 phase to 18kVA
4. Our Gateway provides Remote Monitoring on any PC or Smart Phone.
Magnum and Outback do not provide remote monitoring
5. Apollo has the venerable T80 and T80HV integrated via the ISM.
Magnum does not make a charge controller.
6. The TSW front panel LCD displays the important values at no extra cost.
Magnum and Outback have no front panel display, XW is minimal.
7. The TSW4048 is the best value at $0.62 per watt MSRP.
8. Apollo is the only off-grid inverter manufacturer to offer:
5 Year Warrantee
Advanced Replacement
48

49. Mounting Flexibility
Apollo TSWs can be mounted vertically (without a rain hat).
Apollo TSWs can also mount horizontally to replace older
DRs, or SWs. With the DC on either right or left.
The square front panel display can be rotated.
Vertical or horizontal, there are no vent holes
on the top or bottom to annoy UL.

54. That completes the TSW Inverter / Charger
portion of this training
Before we go on to the Remote Monitoring part of the
training, we have an announcement:
Starting today, Apollo Solar is offering a new
Advanced Replacement Program for the TSWs.
If you have a problem with our TSW in the field, call
our Tech Support department for an RMA number.
If the problem is an actual failure of the TSW, we will
ship a replacement unit to you within 24 hours.
After you replace the unit, send the old one back.

57. Apollo Remote Monitoring
How It Works
• The Apollo Communications Gateway initiates a TCP
connection every 3 minutes with the Apollo server.
(Because the Gateway initiates the connection, it works
through routers and firewalls.)
• The Apollo server runs an asynchronous multithreading
TCP server that does the following:
– It accepts the incoming connection,
– It discovers what charge controllers and inverters are attached,
– It gets data from the attached devices every 6 seconds.
• The data is then stored in a large SQL Server database
where it can be accessed by the Apollo web application.

59. Apollo Remote Monitoring
What You Need
1. Device connectivity – TSW inverters have communications built-in,
the T80 Charge Controllers use an ASNet card
2. Device Addressing – to be properly discovered, T80 Charge
Controllers must have addresses beginning with 1 or 2 and
continuing sequentially up to 31, TSW Inverters need to start at
address 32 and continue sequentially.
3. Apollo Communications Gateway – an Apollo Communications
Gateway and the cable supplied to it. The ACG must be connected
to one of the Apollo devices, and then the remaining devices are
connected daisy-chain style with user-supplied standard Ethernet
cables.
4. Internet connectivity – The Gateway is connected (using the
supplied Ethernet cable) to an Ethernet, WiFi, or cellular network
that has Internet access.

61. FAQ - Apollo Communications Gateway
1. How many T80 charge controllers can be monitored from one Gateway?
– Up to 31
2. How many TSW inverters can be monitored from one Gateway?
– Up to 31
3. How many total devices can be monitored from one Gateway?
– Up to 255
4. How often is data sent from the Gateway to the server?
– The server asks for data from a device every six seconds, or 14,400 times a day. If there is one T80 in the
system, then there is data from the T80 every 6 seconds. If there is a T80 and a TSW inverter, then there is
data for the T80 every 12 seconds and for the inverter every 12 seconds
5. Does the Gateway have to powered from the included AC power supply?
– No, the Gateway can receive power from the T80 or TSW.
6. Does the Gateway have to be programmed or setup?
– No, the Gateway is strictly plug-and-play.
7. How can I tell if the Gateway is communicating with the T80 or TSW and sending data to the
Internet?
– Refer to the Gateway user guide for detailed information, however if the Transmitting Serial LED blinks every 6
seconds then the Gateway is communication with the server. If the Transmitting Serial and Receiving Serial
lights are blinking every 6 seconds then the Gateway is communicating with the server and with the attached
Apollo devices.
8. Can a user use software on a local PC to communicate and get data from the Apollo devices using
the Gateway?
– Yes the Gateway will accept incoming requests. Apollo can provide sample code for communicating on a local
network.
61

62. FAQ - Apollo Cellular Modem
• What cellular system does the ACM use?
– The ACM uses GSM and supports the four different GSM frequencies used around the world, so it
is compatible with every GSM system in every country. The ACM uses GPRS or EDGE for sending
or receiving data.
• What do I need to use the ACM?
– You need to get a SIM card for the cellular system that you want to use, enabled for data. You also
need to get the APN (access point name) for the system.
• Is the cost of sending and receiving data included in the cost of the modem?
– No, you need to enter into an agreement with your cellular provider for data services and pay
accordingly.
• How much data does the ACM send?
– The ACM will send and receive approximately 60 megabytes of data a month.
• Do I need to use a Gateway if I’m going to use the ACM?
– Yes, you need to have a Gateway between the ACM and Apollo devices.
• Do I need to configure the ACM?
– Yes, because you need to install the SIM card and configure the ACM to work with your particular
cellular carrier’s system. The basic installation steps include: install the SIM card; change the
frequency of the modem if you are using it outside the USA; enter the APN (access point name)
and username and password if required.
• What if I need or want to monitor using a carrier that uses CDMA?
– On a special order basis Apollo can provide a CDMA modem or specify one for you.
62

63. FAQ - Apollo SNMP Gateway
• Can the SNMP Gateway be customized in terms of SNMP traps and gets?
– Yes, Apollo can customize and provide matching MIB file
• What SNMP protocols are supported?
– SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3.
• Does the SNMP Gateway have a watchdog timer?
– Yes, there is a watchdog timer that can be set to any interval.
• Can the SNMP Gateway be configured and have new software installed from remote
locations?
– Yes.
• Can the SNMP Gateway be configured to log data and then have log files uploaded
remotely?
– Yes.
• Can the SNMP Gateway be programmed to monitor additional equipment or
sensors?
– Yes, the SNMP Gateway can be configured to monitor additional devices that provide relay
or digital outputs, or which have a communications protocol. The SNMP Gateway currently
does not support analog inputs, although that is a possibility if the opportunity warrants it.
63

64. FAQ - Monitoring from the Apollo Website
• How do I setup monitoring for my system?
