PV modules in the array. When PV modules in the array are affected by shade, dust, orientation, or any situation in which one module underperforms compared with the other units, the APsystems Microinverter ensures top performance from the array by maximizing the performance of each module within the array.
Offering an unprecedented 375VA peak output power per channel, the YC600B works with 60 and 72-cell PV modules and offers dual, independent MPPT per panel. The YC600B also operates within a wider MPPT voltage range than competing brands for a greater energy harvest.
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. In a similar manner, AC AFCIs have not been evaluated for back feeding and may be damaged if back feed with the output of a PV inverter.
4.3.3 Step 3 - Attach the APsystems Microinverters to the racking a. Mark the location of the Microinverter on the rack, with respect to the PV module junction box or any other obstructions.
Figure 3 4.3.5 Step 5 - Connect the APsystems microinverter to AC bus cable Push the microinverter AC connector into the trunk cable connector until you hear a "click". Try to remove it to check that it is properly locked.
Figure 8 Body Seal 4.3.7 Step 7 - Connect APsystems Microinverters to the PV Modules Figure 9 When plugging in the DC cables, the microinverter should immediately blink green three times. This will happen as soon as the cables are plugged in and will show that the microinverter is functioning correctly.
PV connections. a. Each APsystems Microinverter has removable serial number labels. b. Peel labels off, affix one to the respective location on the APsystems installation map, and fill in 1,2 in the label below,according to the layout on the roof.

Peel the label and affix it to the respective location on the APsystems installation map. The APsystems Installation Map is a diagram of the physical location of each microinverter in your PV installation. Each APsystems microinverter has a removable serial number label located on the mounting plate. Pee l the label Installation Map Template and affix it to the respective location on the APsystems installation map.
Plug in the ECU and follow the instructions according to the manual for the ECU. The APsystems Microinverters will start to send performance data 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.
Always disconnect AC power before disconnecting the PV module wires from the APsystems Microinverter. The APsystems Microinverter is powered by PV module DC power. AFTER disconnecting the DC power, when reconnecting the PV modules to the Microinverter, be sure to watch for the three short LED flashes.
Verify the PV module DC voltage is within the allowable range shown in the Technical Data of this manual. If the problem persists, please call APsystems Customer Support. Do not attempt to repair the APsystems microinverter. If troubleshooting methods fail, please return the microinverter to your distributor for replacement. 6.3 Maintenance No need to Maintenance.
7. Replace a microinverter Follow the procedure to replace a failed APsystems Microinverter A. Disconnect the APsystems Microinverter from the PV Module, in the order shown below: Disconnect the AC by turning off the branch circuit breaker. Disconnect the inverter AC connector from the AC Bus.
APsystems website www.APsystems.com. You must match the DC operating voltage range of the PV module with the allowable input voltage range of the APsystems Microinverter. The maximum open circuit voltage of the PV module must not exceed the specified maximum input voltage of the APsystems.
