1. About This Guide This guide only applies to the following inverters:CSI-75K-T40001-E*, CSI-100K-T4001A-E, CSI-100K-T4001B-E, CSI- 110K-T4001A-E, CSI-110K-T4001B-E, CSI-120K-T4001A-E and CSI-120K-T4001B-E. This instruction only provides an overview of the installation of the above-mentioned inverters. Due to product version upgrades or other reasons, this guidance will be updated irregularly. Under no circumstances can this guide replace the user manual and the safety instructions on the product.
3.3 Installation Angle Requirements Install the inverter vertically or at a minimum back tilt of 10°. Forward installation or upside-down installation is prohibited. Vertical Backward Forward Upside down ≥ 10 FIG 3-2 Installation angle 3.4 Installation Clearance Requirements Reserve enough clearance around the inverter to ensure sufficient space for heat dissipation. ( 3-3 The maintenance of the inverter's external fan module requires a larger clearance on the left side).

• The polarities of electric connections are correct on the DC input side. The positive and negative terminals of the PV string are connected to the corresponding positive and negative DC input terminals of the solar inverter. Use the connectors delivered with the solar inverter. If the PV connectors are lost or damaged, purchase the connectors of the same model.
5 Commissioning Inverter 5.1 Electrical Inspection Table 5-1 Inspection before Commissioning Result Inspection Items The inverter DC switch and external circuit breaker are disconnected The inverter should be accessible for operation, maintenance and service. Nothing is left on the top of the inverter. The inverter is correctly connected to the external devices.
