1.2. Operation Mode Definition

Off grid (LEDs off)
When no power has been delivered to the AC grid for more than 10 minutes, the inverter dis-
connects from the grid and shuts down. This is the normal night mode. The user and communi-
cation interfaces are still powered for communication purposes.
Connecting (Green LED flashing)
The inverter starts up when the PV input voltage reaches 250 V. The inverter performs a series
of internal self-tests, including PV auto detection and measurement of the resistance between
the PV arrays and earth. Meanwhile, it also monitors the grid parameters. When the grid pa-
rameters have been within the specifications for the required amount of time (depends on
country settings), the inverter starts to energise the grid.
