APsystems Microinverter system and the solar-array. Be aware that the body of the APsystems Microinverter is the heat sink and can reach a temperature of 80°C. To reduce risk of burns, do not touch the body of the Microinverter. -
Page 5: Apsystems Yc1000-3 System Introduction
APsystems YC1000-3 System Introduction The APsystems Microinverter is used in utility-interactive grid-tied applications, comprised of three key elements: APsystems Microinverter APsystems Energy Communication Unit (ECU) APsystems Energy Monitor and Analysis (EMA) web-based monitoring and analysis system Figure 1... - Page 6 Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to a broadband router. After installing the ECU, the full network of APsystems microinverters automatically reports to the APsystems Energy Monitor and Analysis (EMA) web server. The EMA software displays performance trends, informs you of abnormal events, and controls system shutdown when it is needed.

Installation MUST comply with local regulations and technical rules. Special Statement! An AC GFCI device should not be used to protect the dedicated circuit to the APsystems microinverter even though it is an outside circuit. None of the small GFCI devices (5mA-30 mA) are designed for back feeding and will be damaged if back feed. -
Page 9: Installation Procedures
Installation Procedures APsystems Microinverters are designed to only operate when they can sense power coming from the grid. Even if they are plugged into the solar array, they will not turn themselves on until they can read power from the grid. -

2. Turn ON the main utility-grid AC circuit breaker. Your system will start producing power after a five-minute safety delay period. 3. The APsystems Microinverters will start to send performance data over power line to the ECU. The time required for all the Microinverters in the system to report to the ECU will vary with the number of Microinverters in the system. -
Page 14: Troubleshooting
WARNING: Always disconnect AC power before disconnecting the PV module wires from the APsystems microinverter. The AC connector of the first microinverter in a branch circuit is suitable as a disconnecting means once the AC branch circuit breaker in the load center has been opened. -

5. Check the DC connections between the microinverter and the PV module. 6. Verify the PV module DC voltage is within the allowable range shown in the Technical Data of this manual. 7. If the problem persists, please call APsystems Technical Support at (206) 855-5100 (Option #2).. WARNING: Do not attempt to repair the APsystems microinverter. -
Page 16: Replace A Microinverter
Follow the procedure to replace a failed APsystems Microinverter. A. Remove the APsystems microinverter from the PV Module, in the following order: 1. Disconnect the AC by turning off the branch circuit breaker. 2. Cover the module with an opaque cover. -
Page 17: Technical Data
You must match the DC operating voltage range of the PV module with the allowable input voltage range of the APsystems Microinverter. WARNING: The maximum open circuit voltage of the PV module must not exceed the specified maximum input voltage of the APsystems microinverter. APsystems YC1000-3 Installation/User Manual... -
