    Installation MUST comply with local regulations and technical rules. Special Statement! An AC GFCI device should not be used to protect the dedicated circuit to the APsystems microinverter even though it is an outside circuit. None of the small GFCI devices (5mA-30 mA) are designed for back feeding and will be damaged if back feed.
  • Page 10: Installation Procedures

    Installation Procedures APsystems Microinverters are designed to only operate when they can sense power coming from the grid. Even if they are plugged into the solar array, they will not turn themselves on until they can read power from the grid.

    2. Turn ON the main utility-grid AC circuit breaker. Your system will start producing power after a five-minute safety delay period. 3. The APsystems Microinverters will start to send performance data over wireless to the ECU. The time required for all the microinverters in the system to report to the ECU will vary with the number of microinverters in the system.
