5. Installation 5.1 Safety DANGER DANGER to life due to potential fire or electricity shock. DO NOT install the inverter near any inflammable or explosive items. This inverter will be directly connected with HIGH VOLTAGE power generation device, the installation must be performed by qualified personnel only in compliance with national and local standards and regulations.
Soleos inverter is designed for indoors and outdoors installation Please mount the inverter in the direction as illustrated above Install the inverter in the vertical direction is recommended, with a max.15 degrees backwards. For the convenience of checking the LCD display and possible maintenance activities, please install the inverter at eye level.
Direction Minimum clearance Above 30 cm Below 30 cm Sides 10 cm Mounting Procedure 1) Mark 4 positions of the drill holes on the wall according to the wall mounting bracket in the carton box. ( Depth 50mm ) 2) According to the marks, drill 4 holes in the wall. Then, place four expansion tubes in the holes using a rubber hammer.
Page 23
3) Check the 4 holes in the backside of the inverter. Then, lift the inverter carefully, align the 4 holes in the inverter and the 4 hooks on the bracket, and finally attach the inverter to the hooks slightly.
5.5 Safety lock (with the wall mounting bracket) After the inverter is hang up on the bracket, lock up the device and the bracket together at the Lower Right Corner of the inverter (as the picture showed below). Padlock...

NOTICE Electrical connections shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable regulations, such as conductor sections, fuses, PE connection. 6.2 Overview of Connection Area Object Description Plug connectors for DC input. RS232/RS485 interface Terminal for grid connection (AC output)
DANGER to life due to potential fire or electricity shock. NEVER connect or disconnect the connectors under load. 1) Integrated RCD and RCM The Soleos inverter is equipped with integrated RCD (Residual Current Protective Device) and RCM Residual Current Operated Monitor). The current sensor will detect the volume of the leakage current and compare it with the pre-set value, if the leakage current exceeds the permitted range, the RCD will disconnect the inverter from the AC load.
