minutes after switching off the inverter. This ensures that the capacitors are electrically discharged. This product can cause a d c current in the external protective earth conductor. Where a residual current- operated protective (RCD) or monitoring (RCM) device is strongly recommend to used for protection in a case of direct or indirect contact, only an RCD or RCM of Type B is allowed on the supply side of this product;...
3 Product Warranty If you like to extend your warranty period, you can apply for it and keep up warranty card well. The maintenance is free of charge during warranty period. The packing material should be original or similar material when the defective inverter is returned back to factory for repairing.
4 Overview 4.1 Introduction of Grid-connected System Basically Grid-connected system is comprised of 4 portions: PV array, PV inverter, AC connection unit and Public Grid connection unit. Once PV arrays receive sun shines, they will generate DC current and feed into PV inverter which is configured between DC input and municipal AC grid.
4.2 Brief Introduction of PV Inverter The inverter coverts DC current from solar units into AC current, and feeds to Municipal Electrical Grid. The inverter is designed and produced as per relative requirement of laws and regulations. The shape and functions of relative parts is described as follows: 1 ....
7. RS232 port: By this interface, user can use computer to communicate with the equipment. There is water proof cover to protect RS232 connectors. 8. RS485 port: To realize single inverter or multiple communications via RS485 port or optional WIFI data logger. 9.
5 Installation 5.1 Packing Please check carefully before opening the package of the equipment. It may cause the inverter damage in case the packing material is found damage, please contact with forwarder for claim. If necessary, Please feel free to contact us. 5.2 Installation of Inverter Please read the following installation instruction before you start your work so as to achieve best effect of the inverter.
5.3 Installation Location 1. The inverter is suitable to be installed on vertical or backwards tilt wall as shown above, the tilt angle should be less 15°. 2. Don’t install inverter on forward tilt wall. 3. Don’t install inverter on horizontal wall. 4.

Clean the dust inside the holes, and insert expansion pipe into the holes. then turn the screw into the expansion pipe. The distance between nut and wall should be 10mm atleast. Hang the inverter onto screws(from top to bottom), and check both sides and keep the inverter in right position, then tighten screws as shown in following pictures.
5.5 Wiring Remove wiring cover in the inverter, you will see below shown connection ports: DC Input Output Switch RS-232 RS-485 Connector for DC input, the polarity sequence is Input positive, negative (+,-). Please find label with polarity markers. RS-232 RS232 communication interface Switch To connect or disconnect “+”...

The following example shows the process when PV voltage is increased from 120V: Turn on the inverter, its model and version will be displayed first. XXXXXX The input voltage is less than start voltage, the inverter will be in stand-by status.
2. F ault Status Inverter is always under intelligent monitoring condition after it gets started. It will become faulty status when any fault occurs (such as municipal voltage is overload, frequency is over range) or components failure. The faulty information can be displayed by LCD, at that time the red LED is on.
please refer to below chapters. 6.4 LCD Display 1. Button and Back Lighting Operation There are two types of button press, short time press means pressing the button less than 0.5 second, and long time press means pressing the button more than 3 seconds. The short time press is used for page up, moving the cursor;...

6.5 Max Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Under any arrays or any conditions, the system can be rapidly tracked the max. power from the arrays. When the output power is trending to be stable, which expresses that the inverter reach its Max power, meanwhile maximum power will be received and transferred into AC to feed to municipal electricity Grid by the inverter.
7 Communication Interface This product provides RS232 and RS485 communication modes, WLAN communication optional. 7.1 RS232 There is water proof RS232 (DB9 type) communication port. Please open the water proof cover before using RS232 port. Single inverter can be monitored by computer through RS232 interface. The cable length between inverter and the computer should be less 15M.
Please purchase external WIFI module from us if WLAN function is required on inverter which has been purchased with RS485 port. Pin corresponding relationship between inverter and GPRS/ WIFI unit. 7.3 Remote control The inverter can realize the remote SHUTDOWN and ON and power limit regulatory function by the associated monitoring software.
8 Trouble Shooting It is very easy for the inverter’s maintenance. When you meet any problems, please refer to the following trouble shooting first, please contact your local distributor if the problem can’t be solved by yourself.
