1 Safety Instructions User Manual Before operating the product, please check and ensure that tools to be used have been maintained regularly. Electrical Connection Safety Before electrical connections, please make sure that the optimizer is not damaged. Otherwise, it may cause danger! Before electrical connections, please make sure that all switches connected to the optimizer are set to "OFF".
User Manual 1 Safety Instructions Check the positive and negative polarity of the PV strings, and connect the PV con- nectors to corresponding terminals only after ensuring polarity correctness. During the installation and operation of the optimizer, please ensure that the posi- tive or negative polarities of PV strings do not short-circuit to the ground.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not perform any other maintenance opera- tions beyond this manual. If necessary, contact SUNGROW for maintenance. Otherwise, the losses caused are not covered by the warranty. Disposal Safety Please scrap the product in accordance with relevant local regulations and stan- dards to avoid property losses or casualties.
Product Description System Introduction SP600S optimizer is mainly used to adjust the voltage and current of each PV module in real time to track the maximum power point of each module, thus improving the power genera- tion capacity of the PV system. It can also realize module-level shutdown, module-level IV curve scanning and automatic physical positioning.
2 Product Description User Manual figure 2-2 Application to Industrial and Commercial System Working Principle The working principle of the optimizer is shown in the diagram below. Connected to the PV module by its input cable, the optimizer can track the module's maximum power and output the desired voltage through a DC/DC voltage conversion circuit.
2 Product Description User Manual Dimensions figure 2-6 Dimensions Symbol Descriptions Symbol Description Do not dispose of the optimizer as household waste. Read the manual before performing any operation on the optimizer. Comply with CE certification. EU/EEA imports. Comply with RCM certification. Hot surface with a temperature that may exceed 60 ℃.

4 Mechanical Mounting User Manual 4.3.2 Installed on Aluminum Guide Rail step 1 It is recommended to use M8*25 T-head bolt assembly (not included in the scope of deliv- ery). Slide the T-head bolt into the groove in the aluminum guide rail. step 2 Hang the optimizer at the T-bolt through the bolt hole and fix it on the aluminum guide rail using a socket wrench in the order of nut, bolt hole and T-head bolt.
User Manual 4 Mechanical Mounting 4.3.4 Installed on Steel Guide Rail (Bolt Assembly) step 1 It is recommended to use M8*25 bolt assembly (not included in the scope of delivery). Insert the bolt assembly through the guide rail. step 2 Hang the optimizer at the bolt through the bolt hole and fix it on the steel guide rail using a socket wrench in the order of nut, bolt hole, spring washer, flat washer and bolt.
Electrical Connection Safety Precautions The PV string will generate lethal high voltage when exposed to sunlight. • Operators must wear proper personal protective equipment during electrical connections. • Must ensure that cables are voltage-free with a measuring instrument before touching DC cables. •...
User Manual 5 Electrical Connection All electrical connections must comply with local and national/regional electrical standards. • Cables used by the user shall comply with the requirements of local laws and regulations. Comply with the safety instructions related to PV strings and the regulations re- lated to the local grid.
5 Electrical Connection User Manual MC4 Terminal Preparation In the process of connecting optimizers, if the distance between terminals is too long, it is necessary to prepare a pair of extension cables of suitable length with MC4 terminals at each end. The DC connector model of the optimizer is Staubli MC4.
User Manual 5 Electrical Connection step 4 Connect the positive terminals of the PV connector to corresponding negative terminals until there is an audible click. - - End Connecting to PV Module Electric shock! Pay attention! PV arrays will generate lethal high voltage when exposed to sunlight. Ensure all cables are voltage-free before performing electrical operations.
5 Electrical Connection User Manual step 2 Connect the positive probe of a multimeter to OUT+ of the optimizer, and the negative probe of the multimeter to OUT- of the optimizer to check whether the optimizer is faulty. If the measured output voltage is between 0.9 V and 1.1 V, no fault occurs to the optimizer.

User Manual 5 Electrical Connection If each PV module is equipped with an optimizer, the total power of PV modules in a PV input shall not exceed the maximum input power of a single PV input of the inverter.
Commissioning Inspection Before Commissioning Check the following items before starting the optimizer: • All equipment has been reliably installed. • All cables are corrected connected. • Please check the input and output terminals of all optimizers for reversed connection. • All warning signs &...
Optimizer Decommissioning Disconnecting Optimizer Danger of burns! Even if the product is shut down, it may still be hot and cause burns. Wear protec- tive gloves before operating the optimizer after it cools down. step 1 The inverter connected to the optimizer is powered down. step 2 Ensure that the DC cable is current-free via a current clamp.
7 Optimizer Decommissioning User Manual Disposal of Optimizer Users take the responsibility for the disposal of the optimizer. Please scrap the optimizer in accordance with relevant local regulations and stan- dards to avoid property losses or casualties. Some parts of the optimizer may cause environmental pollution. Please dispose of them in accordance with the disposal regulations for electronic waste applicable at the installation site.
