PV plant switch off the Ilumen PID Control Box. When you want to change the arrangement of the Ilumen PID Solution or want to add new PID boxes you must switch off the Ilumen PID Control box 20 minutes prior to making any changes.
PID B LUMEN The Ilumen PID Box is placed between the inverter and the solar array strings. The power of the strings goes through the PID Box, entering on one side and leaving on the other.One Ilumen PID Box can only be used for one MPP tracker. If you use multiple Ilumen PID Boxes you must couple them together in series with the 4-pole connectors.
5. Check if mounted securely LECTRICAL CONNECTION When installing the Ilumen PID Solution, the AC side of the PV plant must be switched off. Also the DC switch of the inverter must be switched off. After the installation is done, you can switch the DC switch back on followed by the AC side of the PV plant.
PV arrays. Always connect the PV arrays to the Ilumen PID Solution first; On the Ilumen PID BOX the “PV+” cables should be connected to the positive side of all strings and the “PV-“ cables should be connected to the negative side of all strings.
Connect the 4-pole male connector of the first Ilumen PID Box to the 4-pole female connector of the Ilumen PID Control Box. Following you can connect up to 100 Ilumen PID Boxes in total in a series chain by mating each 4-pole female connector from the last chained to the 4-pole male connector of the one your adding.
GPRS at any time. To start up the Ilumen PID Box, plug in the AC power cord into a standard EU outlet (This outlet must be on at all times) and turn on the switch. Next you need to login to the my.ilumen.be portal to see if the connection is good and to finalize the installation.
