  • Page 8: Introduction

    Preface General information Please read this manual carefully before installation, operation or maintenance. This manual contains important safety instructions that must be followed during installation and maintenance of the system. This manual describes the assembly, installation, electrical connections, commissioning, maintenance and Scope troubleshooting of the 1PH HYD3000-HYD6000-ZSS hybrid inverter.

  • Page 9: Preliminary Safety Instructions

    The 1PH HYD3000-HYD6000-ZSS inverter can operate in automatic mode and in time-of-use charge, charge/discharge mode. In automatic mode, when the energy produced by the PV field is greater than that required by the utilities, the 1PH HYD3000-HYD6000-ZSS inverter charges the battery using the photovoltaic energy in excess, and when the photovoltaic energy is lower than that required, the inverter uses the energy stored in the battery to supply current to the local load.

  • Page 10: Safety Notes

    If necessary, request assistance from an installer of photovoltaic systems or from Zucchetti Centro Sistemi SpA. Transport of the equipment, especially by road, must be carried out with vehicles suitable to protect the components (in particular, electronic components) against violent knocks, humidity, vibrations, etc.
