Foreword Dear Customer, Thank you for buying an inverter from the SITOP solar family. We hope that the device will meet with your complete satisfaction when you use it with your solar system. Many years of experience and our know-how have gone into the development of these devices.
When not accompanied by a warning triangle, means that property damage may occur if proper precautions are not taken. • ATTENTION Means that an undesired result or state may occur if the instructions are not adhered to. Siemens AG C98130-A7580-A1-1-7619 Page 5 of 34 SITOP solar 08/2006...

1 x 2000 Slave 1 x 2300 Slave Systems with 3.8 kW can be implemented by combining a SITOP solar 2300 MASTER with a SITOP solar 1500 SLAVE. The primary differences between a MASTER and the SLAVES are the power monitoring unit integrated in the device (ENS in accordance with DIN VDE0126-1-1) and a powerful microprocessor system for operation and control of the indicators.
Using the integrated interface, the data can also be presented online with a PC and the SITOP solar log software or, after the data logger is read out, stored for further processing later. For information at a quick glance, the device offers a bar whose progress varies with the current incoming power.
Make sure that there are no flammable materials in the vicinity of the devices. Remember that the inverter which you install will probably spend decades at the location which you select. Siemens AG C98130-A7580-A1-1-7619 Page 11 of 34 SITOP solar 08/2006...

In this case do not press the menu bottom for the first 5 second. If you want to use the SITOP solar in a country other than Germany, you can select too the Power Monitoring from Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Spain.
MASTER is able to measure the solar generator during operation and adjust its on and off conditions accordingly. After this procedure is executed successfully, the MASTER and any SLAVES connect to the power. Siemens AG C98130-A7580-A1-1-7619 Page 18 of 34 SITOP solar 08/2006...

However, if a PC is connected directly or there is a connection via a MODEM, the device can be addressed with the SITOP solar log PC software. The display goes on and shortly thereafter "Nachtbetrieb" appears on the display.

If the value of the measured input voltage is outside the limits specified in the data sheet, an error message is indicated. Since only one additional SLAVE can be connected with the SITOP solar 2300 master, only S1 is displayed.

2) Please contact your installation technician or distributor. The DC voltage of the modules and the DC wiring must be checked. If sufficient voltage is applied to the modules and the wiring is okay, the master inverter may be defective. Siemens AG C98130-A7580-A1-1-7619 Page 22 of 34 SITOP solar 08/2006...
Other actions: 1) No action 2) The incoming power line (e.g. AC mains terminals) must be checked. 3) Please contact your installation technician or distributor. The mains impedance must be checked. Siemens AG C98130-A7580-A1-1-7619 Page 23 of 34 SITOP solar 08/2006...

And switch back on. 2) Please contact your installation technician or distributor. Siemens AG C98130-A7580-A1-1-7619 Page 25 of 34 SITOP solar 08/2006...
Replace the battery as described in chapter 4.5.1. Always also document all switchoff events on the internal data logger where they can be read when necessary with SITOP solar log. 6.3 Activation and Deactivation of the Running Light When your inverter is delivered, the running light below the display has already been activated at the plant.
