1. Introduction

This manual contains important instructions for the installation, manipulation and use of models:
Ingecon Sun 10 TL
®
Ingecon Sun 15 TL
®
All installation and maintenance operations must be performed by qualified personnel. There is an
electrical shock hazard.
The user must never open the equipment or tamper with its cables.
Caution:
The radiator can reach temperatures of 85ºC.
Ensure that there is a good circulation of air for ade-
quate radiator ventilation.
Do not locate heat sensitive materials in the vicinity of the inverter.
The ambient temperature at the place of installation must be
between -10 and 65 ºC.

1.1. Description of the equipment

An inverter is an electronic circuit used to
convert direct current into alternating current.
The function of the Ingecon
equipment is therefore to convert the direct
current generated by the PV solar panels into
alternating current that can then be delivered
to the power grid.
A further function is to perform maximum
power point tracking, in order to maximise the
amount of energy obtained from the PV array.
The Ingecon Sun Smart TL inverters are fully automatic, with no user manipulation or maintenance required.
®
The LEDs located on the front panel serve to indicate any inverter operating problems or malfunction. Follow the
instructions provided in the "Troubleshooting"section.
For safety reasons, users should heed the safety warnings given at the beginning of this introduction.
Automatic operation
A weak light at dawn on the PV array, activates the inverter (flashing green light on the front
panel).
Once there is sufficient solar power, the inverter performs a self-check (the green light con-
tinues to flash).
Energy is subsequently delivered to the power grid (the green light remains on).
The inverter disconnects automatically when irradiance is low.
The inverter may switch itself on and off several times during the day, depending on the variations in the solar light.
In the event of an electricity power cut, the inverter will disconnect itself from the power grid.
