6. Start & Stop

6.1 Start the Inverter

To start up the Inverter, it is important that the following steps are strictly followed:
1. Switch the grid supply main Switch (AC) ON first.
2. Switch the DC switch ON. If the voltage of PV arrays are higher than start up voltage,
the inverter will initialize. The red LED power will light.
3. When both the DC and the AC sides supply to the inverter, it will be ready to generate
power. Initially, the inverter will check both its internal parameters and the parameters
of the AC grid, to ensure that they are within the acceptable limits. At the same time,
the green LED will flash and the LCD displays the information of INITIALIZING.
4. After 30-300 seconds (depending on local requirement), the inverter will start to
generate power. The green LED will be on continually and the LCD displays
GENERATING.
WARNING:
Do not touch the surface when the inverter is operating. It may be
hot and cause burns.

6.2 Stop the Inverter

To stop the Inverter, the following steps must be strictly followed:
1. Turn off the ac switch.
2. Put the DC SWITCH on the inverter in the position of "OFF".
