About This Manual This operation manual provides instructions and recommendations for the use and operation of the Pika Grid Supporting Utility Interactive Islanding Inverter™ (X7602/X11402) for simplified solar-plus-storage. Islanding Inverters are storage-ready inverters that connect to Pika PV Link™ DC optimizers and smart batteries to form a Pika Energy Island™ system.
Section 1: Introduction About Pika Islanding Inverters: X7602/X11402 Islanding Inverters connect to the Pika PV Link optimizers to form the Pika Energy Island system for grid-tie solar-plus-storage. Upon the loss of grid power, Islanding Inverters disconnect from the grid and provide AC power to support protected loads. The inverter provides islanding power without an external autotransformer.
FOR A LIST OF AUTHORIZED INSTALLERS IN YOUR REGION. SHOCK RISK: HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY WARNING: Before installing the Pika Energy Island, read all instructions and caution markings in this guide and installation manual. Consult installation documentation for all other REbus devices on the system.
Section 2: Safety Specifications Safety Shutdown The Pika Energy Island system can signal to connected devices on REbus to shut down and limit output voltage to a safe level. The red Safety Shutdown button on the front of X7602/X11402 activates a Safety Shutdown. An external shutdown button may also be installed, given appropriate labeling.
Some modes interact with high voltage smart batteries over REbus to store power and/or balance production and consumption. Use the following charts to select the correct operational mode for X7602/X11402 to meet your needs. Priority...
In the event of a grid outage, the battery will power the system until it is depleted. For applications in which batteries will be connected to the Pika Energy Island at a later date, operate in Grid Connect mode until batteries are installed.
[Fig. 4.3]. Self Supply In Self Supply mode, X7602/X11402 prioritizes powering local loads using solar and/or stored power first. Current transformers are required for this mode. In this mode, generated solar power will be used to charge batteries before any power is exported to the grid.
Fig. 2.3 If more power is being produced by the solar array than is needed by local loads, X7602/X11402 will store energy in the battery for later use [Fig. 2.1]. If the battery is full and a surplus of power is available, that surplus is exported to the grid [Fig.
Sell Setpoint Description Default Units TargMinImprtP Target Minimum Import Power Use this setpoint to charge the battery from the grid while in Self Supply. If the overall building load is less than this setpoint, the inverter will import power to the battery to keep the grid import power up to the setpoint.
Section 4: Operation and User Interface Section 4: Operation and User Interface Each device connected to the system has its own device page. The device page contains basic information about the device, such as its power level and state. There is also an Ethernet settings page, and a Home Screen showing a Power Flow diagram.
The Home Screen The Home Screen The power flow display on the Home Screen illustrates the flow of power in the Energy Island system. As power is generated, stored and consumed, animated arrows indicate the flow and direction of power. The system AC and DC voltage levels are displayed near the center of the screen.

Fig 58. PV Link device page showing “Device Offline.” Enabling and Disabling Devices The Pika Energy Island system is able to operate independently without input from a user. The inverter and other parts of the system are able to return to operation automatically, even after events such as power outages.
Section 4: Operation and User Interface WARNING: Never Enable any device during an installation or while there are exposed wires present. Always be sure to initiate a safety shutdown and disconnect power sources when performing service. To enable a device: Press the right arrow button on the inverter LCD until the inverter device page is displayed.
Then press the center button and select “Mod. Settings” using the arrow keys and center button. Fig 59. X7602/X11402 will fetch settings from connected devices and display them onscreen. This may Islanding Inverter Operation Manual M00010-17...

LED Indicators LED Indicators REbus Inverter Fig 25. REbus status LED Internet X7601 REbus Status LED Shutdown Islanding Inverter (hold) This green/yellow/red LED indicates the status of the REbus nanogrid and devices. When green, all devices are functioning normally and are either generating power or ready to generate power. A yellow light indicates that there are no connected, enabled devices.
This blue LED is illuminated when the inverter is connected to a router and has an IP address. A blue light does not mean that the inverter has connected with the Pika Energy server. See “Section 5: Ethernet Configuration” on page 22 for more information on configuring your internet connection.
Note: If installing a REbus Beacon, refer to the Beacon documentation for instructions on installing Beacon and connecting to the internet. Setup X7602/X11402 should typically be plugged into a router, and network settings will be automatically detected. Once an ethernet connection is made to the internet, perform the following steps: Press the left arrow button until the Ethernet Status screen appears appears on the LCD.
