2 Safety Instruction 1.5.2 Labels on product and packaging Symbol Description Hot surfaces! Risk of burns due to hot components! Danger to life due to high voltage! Time need to discharge stored energy in the capacitors. Grounding Direct Current (DC) Alternating Current (AC) Check the user manual before service.
(PV) strings into alternating current (AC) power, and feed the power into the power grid. This document involves the following product models: CSI-7K-S22002-ED; CSI-8K-S22002-ED; CSI-9K-S22002-ED. PV grid-connected system mainly includes PV modules, DC switch, inverter, AC switch, electricity meter, and local grid.
4 Storage 3.3 Product Nameplate The nameplate provides a unique identification of the inverter (Product type, Device -specific characteristics, Certificates and Approvals). The nameplate is on the left side of the enclosure. FIG.3-3 Inverter Nameplate (for reference) 4 Storage The following requirements should be met when the inverters need to be stored: Do not unpack the inverter.
5 Unpackaging and Inspection 5 Unpackaging and Inspection Before unpacking the inverter, check the package appearance thoroughly, such as any holes and cracks, and check the inverter model accordingly. If discover any damage to the packaging which indicates the inverter may have been damaged, or the inverter model is not what you requested, do not unpack the product and contact your dealer immediately.

FIG.6-5 Installation Angle Requirements 13) Do not install the inverter outdoors in salt, sulfur or other corrosive areas.
6 Installation Please consult the Canadian Solar Inc. Technical support department on the use of inverters in special climates (i.e. salt, sulfur, or ammonia areas) which may affect the product warranty. 6.2 Mounting Wall-mounting Bracket To avoid electrical shock or other injury, please inspect existing electronic or plumbing installations before drilling holes.
7 Electrical Connection 7 Electrical Connection 7.1 Safety Danger to life due to lethal voltages in the inverter! Before performing any work on the inverter, must disconnect both AC and DC sides. Danger Damage to electronic components may happen due to electrostatic discharge. Take appropriate ESD precautions when replacing and installing the inverter.
0.9 leading to 0.9 lagging, meanwhile need external SPI. Install an independent two-pole circuit breaker at the output side of the inverter for protection, the recommended AC circuit-breaker specifications are as follows: Inverter type AC circuit-breaker specifications CSI-7K-S22002-ED 40 A CSI-8K-S22002-ED 50 A CSI-9K-S22002-ED...
7 Electrical Connection 3) Insert L, N, and PE conductors into the corresponding pins of the plug (as per FIG. 7-5), then tighten the fastening screws by screwdriver to fix conductors firmly. Torque, 2 N.m. FIG. 7-5 AC Terminal Positions 4) Push the threaded sleeve into the plug, screw the press nut tightly.
7 Electrical Connection 7.6.2 Wiring There are two types of DC connectors—MC4/H4, check the connector’s type for completeness before assembling. Negative Coupler & Contactor Pin Positive Coupler & Contactor Pin. FIG. 7-10 Structure Illustration of DC Connector Procedure: 1) Strip the insulation of cable to about 7.5mm with the wire stripper tool. Note do not damage the conductors when do the stripping, as per FIG.
8 Communication 7.6.3 Connecting PV array (DC input) Ensure the DC switch and AC breaker both are disconnected from the inverter before connect the PV arrays. Never connect PV array positive or negative pole to the ground, it could cause serious damages to the Danger inverter.
10 Daily Maintenance 9.3 Start-up Inverter After electrical and mechanical inspections, first turn on the AC main switch/breaker, then turn on the DC switch. The inverter will start automatically when the DC input voltage meets the performance requirement of the utility grid. Normally there will be three statuses during the operation (refer to the LED indications): 1) Waiting: Conditions: The initial DC voltage of the PV strings is greater than the Min.
11 SPD Maintenance Risk of inverter damage if it is improperly serviced. Use accessories and spare parts approved by the inverter manufacturer only. Never modify the inverter or other components of the inverter. The loss of any or all warranty rights may follow if NOTICE otherwise.
12 Trouble Shooting 12 Trouble Shooting When inverter does not operate normally, we recommend the following actions for quick troubleshooting. Please review the error list table carefully. 12.1 Warning The different LED colors and flashing status identify the current operation statuses of the inverter. If the red color is always on, it indicates the inverter fault.
13 Handling the Inverter 1. Check if inverter grounding properly. 2. Check if the positive and negative poles of PV modules are short out to the PE cable. F-112 DC insulation fault 3. Wait until inverter restores normal work. 4. If error message still exists, contact Customer service. Leakage current detection 1.
