2. Safety Instructions 3. Installation 3.1 Environmental considerations 3.1.1 Select a location for the inverter CAUTION When selecting a location for the inverter, consider the following: Risk of electric shock from energy stored in the inverter's capacitors. Do not remove cover until 20 minutes after disconnecting all sources WARNING: Risk of fire of supply have passed, and this can only be done by a service technician.
3. Installation 3. Installation 3.1.1.1 Examples of correct and incorrect installations 3.1.2.4 Air circulation Do not install in small, closed rooms where air cannot freely circulate. To prevent overheating, always ensure that the air flow around the inverter is not blocked. 3.1.2.5 Flammable substances Do not install near flammable substances.
3. Installation 3. Installation 3.3 Mounting the Inverter The inverter can be mounted to the wall or metal array racking. The mounting holes should be consistent with the size of the bracket or the dimensions shown in Figure 3.6. 1026mm 970mm Φ11mm Figure 3.4 Inverter handles...
3. Installation 3. Installation 3.4.1 Grounding Use screws in the packaging to fix the inverter to the mount bracket To effectively protect the inverter, two grounding methods must be performed. Connect the AC grounding cable (Please refer to section 3.4.3) Torque:2-3NM Connect the external grounding terminal.
3. Installation 3. Installation 3.4.2 Connect PV side of inverter 4) Insert the stripped wire into the OT terminal crimping area and use the hydraulic clamp to crimp the terminal to the wire. WARNING Before connecting the inverter, make sure the PV array open circuit voltage is within the limit of the inverter.
3. Installation 3. Installation 3.4.2.1 DC connection high voltage danger notice 5. Measure PV voltage of DC input with multimeter, verify DC input cable polarity CAUTION (see figure 3.16), and ensure each string voltage is in range of inverter operation. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK Connect DC connector with inverter until hearing a slight clicking sound indicating successful connection.

3. Installation 4. Comm. & Monitoring There are 5 communication terminals on the inverters. Copper terminal of cable COM1 is a 4-pin connector reserved for WiFi/Cellular datalogger. flat gasket COM2 - COM3 are used for RS485 communication between inverters. spring washer Both RJ45 and terminal block are provided for use.
4. Comm. & Monitoring 4. Comm. & Monitoring 4.2 Logic interface connection PLC is available for multiple inverter monitoring. Logic interface is required by some local regulations that can be operated by a simple switch or contactor(Not available in South Africa). When the switch is closed the inverter can operated normally.
