Should you have no user information regarding this device, refer to LSIS. Ask for the documents to be sent immediately to those responsible for safe operation of the device.
1.3 Risks Involved in Improper Use High electric voltage and high working current! Risk of death or severe personal injury by electric shock! DANGER High electric voltage because of incorrect connection! Risk of death or personal injury by electric shock! WARNING High leakage current! Make absolutely sure you establish connection to ground before con-...
1.4 General Information • Failure to observe these specifications could void your warranty! • The operating and maintenance instructions as well as safety-related guidelines must be read before commissioning. • Proper and correct transport, storage, assembly and installation, as well as care in operation and maintenance, are prerequisites for optimal and safe operation of the device.
High voltage! Risk of death or severe personal injury by electric shock! ⇒ The LSPV inverter may only be installed by qualified specialists. Fur- thermore, the installer must be licensed by responsible power suppliers. ⇒ Only trained and qualified personnel specialized in electrical equipment are allowed to operate, maintain and/or repair the LSPV inverter.
1.7 Protection against Touching Hot Parts Surfaces of the housing can be hot! Risk of injury! Risk of burns! ⇒ Do not touch parts of the housing that are close to heat sources! Risk of burns! ⇒ Let the device cool down for 15 minutes before touching the surface of its housing.
Do not dispose of the SOLARVERT inverter with normal domes- tic waste. Note: The LSPV inverter complies with the RoHS Directive. That means that the device can be delivered to local sites for the disposal of household appliances. LSIS takes the PV inverter completely back. Please contact the Service!
2 Description of LSPV inverter 010K to 020K 2.1 Description of the Device The LSPV inverter is a three-phase solar inverter without a transformer, which has a particularly high efficiency at any operating point and is suitable for the connection of a PV generator with a power of 11kW up to 21.1 kW.

When using the solar inverter without transformer, do not ground the positive or negative pole of the PV generator! WARNING...
2.7 Control Panel The graphical user interface which is integrated on the front of the device and comprises 128 x 64 pixels can be used to display the development of interesting data, such as the feed power. The parameters required are selected and entered on the 8-key control panel. The control panel is illu- minated on pressing a key and turns dark automatically.
3 Installation 3.1 Unpacking the Device The inverters are loaded at their head and packed upside down facilitate transport. You will there- fore see the bottom side of the device (connectors) after having opened the package. Take the device at the two holding grips that are visible on the side and remove it from the packaging. When being unpacked, the device keeps the packaging grid locked in place on its housing.

• Mount the device at an appropriate distance from combustible materials. • We recommend that you mount the device at eye level to ensure optimum user comfort. • Owing to its protection type (IP65), the device can also be mounted in outside areas. Note: To ensure protection class IP65, only use the male and female connectors provided for connecting the LSPV inverter and connect...
40 °C while they are in a de-energized state. If the storage time of two years has been exceeded, please contact the LSIS Service before connecting the LSPV inverter to your system! 3.5 Mounting the LSPV inverter 010K to 020K Mount the inverter by means of the self-centering wall-mounting plate which is included in the scope of delivery.
Any failure to observe these requirements may result in a malfunction of the device or may even cause severe personal injuries through crushing, shearing, cutting, striking, or fire! CAUTION When designing the attachment of the wall-mounting plate, take the weight of the LSPV inverter of 40 kg into account.
3.7 Power Connection Risk of electric shock and fire caused by high leakage current! Before connecting the device to the supply circuit, establish a ground connection by means of the labeled ground stud! CAUTION The power connection has to be connected with a 5 wire cable. For security reasons, protective conductor PE must be connected in any case.
Note: When using wire end ferrules with isolating collar, make sure you do not introduce the insulation of the wire end ferrule into the clamping area of the terminal. Figure 11 Power connection 3.8 Power Supply Line Select the cross-section of the power supply line such that line losses are as low as possible. •...
3.9 Grid line inductance For better efficiency, large line cross-sections and single wire cables are increasingly used for power supply lines, especially if local conditions require long supply lines. The considerable line lengths between LSPV inverter and the transformer station result in a high cable inductance and therefore an increased line impedance.
3.10 Grounding Risk of electric shock! The LSPV inverter must be connected to the ground stud. Otherwise, a voltage gradient may develop, which may result in electric shock! CAUTION The LSPV inverter features a threaded bolt below the power supply port on the connection side for additional grounding.
Live PV strings can be under lethal voltages. ⇒ Before connecting the PV strings, verify that the open circuit voltage does not exceed 50 V. WARNING • The DC connection is effected with MC4-plugs and sockets Ensure that you use DC connectors which are suitable for the particular cable diameter.

6 Maintenance The cooling of the LSPV 010K - 020K is done exclusively through the natural convection. For safe operation according to the environment, the cooling fins on the heat sink should be checked against dirt and if necessary clean up of dust / dirt. The DC switch is designed for a very long life but it is advised to do some simple yearly mainte- nance.
