I have just had a sunsynk 5kw inverter installed. It seems to not use the battery when AC is connected. Only draws from grid and from Solar. What settings needs to change?

Hi. You need to select Use Timer in Work Mode Settings

It looks like nothing is wired to the load side of the inverter. Do you have pictures how the cables are connected? Do you have second DB for the essential load?

Your consuming can’t be zero.

He said select use timer, now you say un tick..... 🤔

I think it was a typo. To use the battery you need to select use timer. Please send pics of all the settings on your inverter.

Ok so the LiBMS page shows that there is an issue with communication between the inverter and battery. 

You need to select CAN on battery setup. 

Deselect grid charge and deselect limit to load and make sure use timer is selected. 

Also all the percentages on Work mode 1 are 80%. Maybe lower them to about 50

The CT coil censor is not yet installed, the electrician that helped me is coming back tomorrow as he had to rush out to an emergency on Friday. Won't it be a problem if I deselect the limit to load?

Ok yes it will be. Rather keep limit to load selected.

Seems I am winning here, the communication cable to battery was in the wrong slot. Thank you for your help. Really appreciate it.
