and have to be installed.
The string fuses are installed inside special safety positioners that allow
easy installation/removal, as well as providing protection from involuntary
contact while the inverter is being installed.
Each fuses are associated with a green LED that could be used to check
the correct polarity of the strings.
Procedure for checking the correct polarity of the strings
1. Check for the absence of installed fuses on the positive side string fu-
ses board
2. Turn the DC disconnect switches
3. Connect the strings (refer to "Input connection to PV generator (DC side)"
chapter) and check that the GREEN LED corresponding to each positive
fuses activates. The string will turn out to be inverted if the green LED is
OFF or, in some circumstances, faintly ON. It's recommended to check
the strings one by one so to safely check which strings are inverted.
4. After all the input strings have been checked, remove all connected
strings and check that all LEDs will switch OFF.
5. Install the fuses (supplied) on the string fuses board
supplied fuse holders.
6. Connect all input strings.
