Page 6: Apsystems Optimizer System Introduction
It can achieve module-level Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and plays a critical part in the whole power system. The APsystems PV Power Optimizer system is comprised of four key elements: APsystems Optimizer (OPT700/OPT700L) ... - Page 7 The APsystems Optimizer increases PV energy production by 5%-25% Each APsystems PV Power Optimizer is individually connected to one or two solar modules. Each PV module has individual Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controls, which ensures that the optimum power is exported to the utility grid regardless of the performance of the other PV modules in the array.

Page 8: Apsystems Optimizer System Installation
APsystems Optimizer System Installation A PV system using APsystems optimizers is simple to install. Each optimizer easily mounts on the PV racking directly beneath the PV module(s) or the module frame. Low-voltage DC wires connect from the PV module directly to the optimizer, eliminating the risk of a high-voltage DC charge. -

Peel the labels off, affix one to the respective location on the APsystems installation map, then affix another label to the PV module frame so that it can be easily seen. The warranty cards can be found in the appendix of this manual or at the APsystems website, www.APsystems.com b. -
Page 11: Step 5 - Verifying Proper Optimizer Connection
For example, each APsystems optimizer connect to two PV modules and produce a PV open circuit voltage of 80V. If ten APsystems optimizers are connected in a string, and then 800V should be produced. -
Page 12: Troubleshooting
WARNING: Only qualified personnel should directly handle the APsystems optimizer. WARNING: Do not attempt to repair the APsystems Optimizer. If troubleshooting methods fail, please return the optimizer to your distributor for replacement. When Verifying Proper Power Optimizer Connection: 1. When measuring the PV open circuit voltage, one or more of the optimizers voltage value inconsistent with others. -
