ASSING CABLES THROUGH THE BOTTOM LID
To make sure the complete device is waterproof, all lids must be placed back on the device. So
cable glands have to be placed in the bottom lid. This lid is made of metal so make sure to use
appropriate tooling to make the holes for the cable glands. We recommend a good hydraulic
punch driver set.
To make sure that the PIDbox is rated IP 65, all the lids have to placed on the
PIDbox and attached with all the screws.
The cable glands need to be assembled in the lower lid of the PIDbox to insure a
watertight end result.

Do a final check whether everything is properly mounted and connected (see chapter 5 and 6 for
details):
✓ The PV frames are all connected to the same earth as the earth pin of the Ilumen PIDbox
✓ The PV and inverter DC cables are correctly connected
✓ The AC connection is made properly
If all these points are installed correctly you can start up the Ilumen PIDbox .

TARTING UP THE
The Ilumen PIDbox can only work in an automatic mode. To start up the Ilumen PIDbox , plug in
the AC connector. Next see if the green light on the left side of the Ilumen PIDbox starts burning.
After checking the system it will be switched on automatically. Now you can switch on the
inverter again.
When the Ilumen PIDbox is hooked up correctly to the inverter you will see the following status
light readouts.
GREEN:. DC circuit breakers are on. This light should burn during the day
✓
RED: DC circuit breakers are off. This light should burn after it detects that it is night.
✓
ORANGE: PID controller is switched on and cures the PV system. It can take a minute
✓
or so that the orange light will come on after the red light starts to light up.
So there are 2 scenarios:
•
Daytime: green light on
•
Nighttime: red light will be on, when curing starts, orange will be on.
The PIDbox will go in safety mode in case of detection of over-current.
Maintenance of the PIDbox by authorised person is required before automatic
start up happens again. Please contact iLumen for this matter.
