Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to a broadband router. After installing and setting the ECU (see ECU manual), the full network of APsystems Microinverters automatically reports to the APsystems Energy Monitor and analysis (EMA) web server.
60, 72, 84 and 96 cell PV modules. For more information, please see the Technical Data page (p.18) of this manual, or sign in APsystems website to check online with our tool Edecider : www.emea/APsystems.com Model Max.
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.
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.
Step 3 - Attaching the antenna to the Microinverter, and keep the antenna vertical to the earth Figure 3 Step 4 - Connecting the APsystems Microinverter AC Cables to the AC bus cable Figure 4 Cover all unused T connectors with sealing caps to protect the T connectors.
Installation Procedures Step 5 - Connecting APsystems Microinverters to the PV Module Place the PV modules into position on the racking and connect the DC input cables to the microinverters based on optimum layout configuration (up to four PV modules per microinverter).
Step 8 - Completing the APsystems Installation Map Fill in the APsystems Warranty Cards, which provide system information and the installation map. Feel free to provide your own layout if a larger or more intricate installation map is required. The layout map provided is designed to accommodate labels in vertical or horizontal orientation to meet all the field PV connections.
Installation Procedures b. Fill out the warranty cards and email to APsystems at support@APsystems.com. c. Register the system using your Installer Account on the APsystems EMA. You can then use the EMA website to view detailed performance of the PV system.
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.
Always disconnect AC power before disconnecting WARNING: the PV module wires from the APsystems microinverter. The APsystems microinverter is powered by PV module WARNING: DC power. Make sure you disconnect and reconnect the DC connections to watch for the three short LED flashes indicating start up.
5. Check the DC connections between the microinverter and the PV module. 6. Verify the PV module DC voltage is within the allowable range shown 7. If the problem persists, please call APsystems Technical Support. in the Technical Data of this manual.
Follow the procedure to replace a failed APsystems Microinverter. A. Remove the APsystems microinverter from the PV Module, in the following order: 1. Disconnect the AC by turning off the branch circuit breaker. 2. Cover the module with an opaque cover.
WARNING: the PV module with the allowable input voltage range of the APsystems Microinverter. The maximum open circuit voltage of the PV module WARNING: must not exceed the specified maximum input voltage of the APsystems microinverter. APsystems YC1000-3 Installation/User Manual...
