Communicating over MODBUS to a PowMr Inverter

I am using a PowMr 5000 W Inverter (https://powmr.com/products/all-in-one-inverter-charger-5000w-110vac-48vdc) and I had a few problems communicating with the device via modbus. I am unable to get any response messages back from the Inverter despite power wiring and receiving messages from other slave decices. I do not know where to find the following information:

1) At what Baud Rate/UART Connection speed for the inverter operate at
2) What function codes does the PowMr support
3) How to find/set slave address
4) What registers/Coils information is stored at (the map)

I'm using a baud rate of 2400, I haven't yet managed to configure settings as there's a specific register I'm yet unaware of that controls input of password and disabling password to allow changing of settings remotely. Full list of registers I'm using can be found here:

Cool thank you! Couple more questions if you are able to answer, what slave-id do you use to communicate with the inverter? Is it just a slave-id of 1?

Also, does this inverter's modbus communicate with Ascii or RTU or TCP?

Sorry the address might have been relevant information in my first reply, Its 0x05 the inverter is 2wire so RTU I didn't write the code I'm using so I'm unsure if it uses ASCII but if I remember correctly from debugging I think I saw 8 digit binary stings but I'm not 100% on that.
