The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for damage caused by such unintended use. Damage caused by such unintended use is at the sole risk of the operator. Intended use also includes adherence to the operating and installation instructions. Your authorized electrician undertakes the registration with your power supply company and obtains approval for your photovoltaic installation from the supply grid operator on your behalf. Some of the documents that you require in order to register your photovoltaic installation and have it approved are included in the installation instructions.

Wait approx. 10 minutes to see if the fault is only temporary in nature. If this is not the case, notify your authorized electri- cian. I MPOR TANT If there is a power failure on the public grid, LED (3) does not light up. If this happens, all LEDs and the display go out. The inverter is shut down completely. The inverter can only resume its normal operation when the public utility grid is available again. Check whether the fault in question relates to a general power failure or whether the circuit breaker between the utility service and the inverter has tripped. If the circuit breaker has tripped, notify your authorized technician. If there was a power failure, simply wait until the fault has been cleared. The system auto- matically re-starts.

The inverter’s until the following morning and are cleared when PV generator measuring elements have been selected to ensure maximum voltage is present again. solar yields. Due to these tolerances, the daily yields displayed on the inverter may deviate from the values on your supply grid operator’s grid-feed counter by up to 15%. At low power operation the sensors within the unit are not as accurate as when at higher power therefore long term operation may cause this high deviation. Under normal operating conditions this deviation is minimal.

Power limitation If the generator is producing too much power, the inverter limits to the max. power. This can occur in the midday hours if the generator has been too largely dimensioned. This is not a malfunction. Waiting time after a fault After a fault, the inverter waits a defined country-specific amount of time before it switches on (Installation Instructions, section 4, Technical Data). Table 4.1: Explanation of the operating states Fault signals When these error messages are displayed, the grid-feed is interrupted, the red LED (3) lights up, and the fault signal relay has switched. This error correction takes a country-specific length of time (see Installation Instructions, section 3, Technical Data). Afterwards the red Page 11 Operating Instructions blueplanet 1502xi/2502xi...
