1. Introduction 1.1 Introduction This manual describes solar inverters : R3-4K-DT/R3-5K-DT /R3-6K-DT/R3-8K-DT/R3-10K-DT/R3-12K-DT/R3-15K-DT. These inverters are transformerless based inverter. Please read the safety instructions in this manual first. Throughout the manual it is assumed that the reader is familiar with AC and DC installations and knows the rules and regulations for electrical equipment and for connecting it to the utility AC grid.
The limitation depends mainly on internal and ambient temperatures. The limitation is calculated continuously and always allows the maximum possible amount of energy to be produced. Please use the tool supplied by Renac Power when dimensioning a photovoltaic system.
1.5 Product label The product label provides basic information for the inverter, which is attached to the right side of the inverter. Pay special attention to the type of inverter and other specifications.

3. Installation and startup Warning! Before installation and maintenance, AC and DC side doesn’t carry electricity, but if DC side is just disconnected, capacitance still contains electricity, so please wait for at least 5 minutes to ensure the capacitors completely release the energy and inverter is not electrified.
3.3 Installation position The installation method and mounting location must be suitable for the inverter's weight and dimensions. Mount on a solid surface. Select a well-ventilated place sheltered from direct sun radiation. Figure 3-2 installation position In consideration of heat dissipation and convenient dismantlement, the minimum clearances around the inverter should be no less than the following value.
3.4 Mounting procedure Setp1: Drill 4 Fix Ø11 holes in the wall according to the dimensions. Step2: Fix the wall mounting bracket on the wall with 4 expansion bolts in accessory bag. Setp4: Place the inverter on the wall-mounted bracket and install the fix screw. Figure 3-4 mounting the inverter...
3.5 Electrical connection 3.5.1 Connection to the grid (AC output) Add breaker or fuse to AC side, the specification should be more than 1.25 times of rated AC output current. The PE line of inverter should be connected to the earth, make sure the impedance of neutral wire and earth wire less than 10 ohm.

Figure 3-7 Connect the inverter to the grid Screw waterproof coupling and Screw cap nut tightly onto the cable. 3.5.2 Connection to PV string (DC input) Before connecting PV string, make sure DC switch is turned off . Make sure PV string polarity confirms with DC connector, otherwise, it will cause damage to inverter.

3.5.3 Communication Please make sure the RS485 connecting cables not exceed 1000m. Communication lines must be separated from other power lines to avoid communications interference. For CEI standard, DRM S0 is the DI port, corresponding to PIN5 (GND), PIN6 (DI input port) of RJ45. COM port, PIN3:A, PIN4:B.
3.6 Starting the Inverter Before turn on the inverter, please confirm: Three phase five wires (PE/L1/L2/L3/N) cable correctly connected to the inverter AC side through AC circuit breaker; The DC cable connected correctly to the inverter DC side through DC circuit breaker, please be attention to the cable connected to the two string correctly and it’s polarity;...
4.3 Factory setting Press pushbutton long in order to enter the “Factory setting” menu. Press pushbutton long to enter the “language setting” menu. Press pushbutton less than 1 sec. to the langue menu you want and Press pushbutton long to select. Press pushbutton less than 1 sec.

The inverter will automatically run the test until the screen shows “Test end”, if the test passes, it will show “test ok”, if the test is failed, it will show “test failed”. Auto-Test from Solar Admin: Download and install “Solar Admin” on laptop. Connect inverter to laptop via RS485 port.
5. Warranty The standard warranty period for the inverter is 60 months from the date of installation and no more than 66 months (5.5 years) from the date of shipment from factory. 5.1 Warranty claim procedure Please report defective device with a brief error description and SN code to our service mail or service hotline for registration.
