5. QUICK INFO ON SYSTEM STATUS Press the “↓” key once from the main menu to access the instantaneous information on the battery and AC grid. Press the “↑” key once from the main menu to access the instantaneous information on the DC side of the inverter. 6.
3.1 Battery connection If the system has to be switched off, make sure to disconnect the AC voltage first by opening the dedicated switch. NEVER turn off the batteries before disconnecting the AC voltage, therefore with the storage system connected to the AC grid. 7.

8.2 PYLONTECH BATTERIES IN PARALLEL Note: To connect multiple batteries in parallel, use the appropriate cables (power and connection) contained in the kit. 3.1 Battery connection Master Slave 1 Slave n Note: The DIP switch positions must be set according to the factory settings When connecting multiple batteries in parallel, connect the communication cable previously connected to the inverter's CAN port to the CAN port of one of the batteries.
Page 7
Note: Turn off the batteries each time the position of the DIP switches changes. In case of multiple batteries connected in parallel or when adding new batteries to a system with batteries already installed and working, make sure that the difference between the voltages of all the batteries is less than 1.5 Volt. Each battery must be measured individually, therefore make sure the batteries are not connected to each other.
9. CURRENT SENSOR CONNECTION For the extension cable, it is recommended to use a category five 8-pole mains cable, or a 2x0.5 mm² cable. In the first case, four conductors will be connected to one pole of the sensor and the other four will be connected to the other pole. To prevent the conductor wires from breaking, it is recommended to use a cable with flexible and non-rigid conductors.

CONNECTING TO THE GRID 1) Unscrew the 4 screws (A) of the central cover with a screwdriver. 2) Remove the cover (B), loosen the cable gland (C), and then remove the stopper (G).

Make sure that all the DC string parameters are acceptable to the inverter in accordance with the technical specifications given in the datasheet and in the Azzurro ZCS configurator. In addition, check that the polarities of the photovoltaic cables are correct. Insert the positive and negative connectors of the HYD-ES inverter until you hear a “click.”...
12.1 INITIAL SET UP PROCEDURE HYD 3-6 GRID Make sure that the AC circuit breaker of the hybrid inverter is open and that no voltage is present on the inverter's terminal block. Check that the DC circuit breaker of the inverter is in the OFF position.
12.2 INITIAL SET UP PROCEDURE - FREEZING OF CURRENT SENSOR The procedure for blocking the current sensors is available from version 2.00 of the Service Code onwards; in the event of lower Service Codes, contact technical support.

16. CHECKING FOR CORRECT OPERATION 1) Turn the PV circuit breaker to the OFF position and disconnect the inverter from the grid Hybrid Inverter GRID Battery 2) Restore AC voltage by flicking the dedicated switch upwards: Hybrid Inverter GRID Battery 3) Check that the power value taken from the grid display is approximately equal to the power consumption shown on the meter, or to the value obtained by using a current meter to measure under the import/export meter.

Once the countdown is over, the batteries will start to deliver power to the utility according to availability, and will attempt to reset the consumption from the grid. Check that the value of the consumption remains constant* as the power supplied by the battery increases during discharge.

19.1 EPS MODE (OFF GRID) In the event of a power failure or operation in OFF-Grid mode, if the EPS function is enabled, the HYD-ES inverter will operate in Emergency Power Supply (EPS) mode using the PV power and energy stored in the battery to supply power to the critical load via the LOAD connection port.
Page 19
CHANGE-OVER SWITCH In case of maintenance of the components of the photovoltaic system or in case of an inverter that cannot be used, it is recommended to install a change-over switch so that the loads normally connected to the inverter's load line can be fed directly from the grid.
Page 20
In the event of a blackout, the alternating voltage supplied by the grid will be lost; this condition will cause the internal contacts of the hybrid inverter to switch over which, once the set activation time has expired, will continue to supply an alternating voltage of 230V to the LOAD output, supplying power only to the critical loads according to the availability of the batteries and PV system.

20.1 OFF GRID MODE ONLY By switching on the HYD-ES inverter when there is no grid, it will be able to supply the energy coming from the PV system and stored in the batteries to the pre-defined critical loads. To do this, it is necessary to activate the EPS (Emergency Power Supply) mode.
