Page 8: Scope Of This Manual
2.1. Description of the Product The inverters of the SUNWAY M XS series are full-digital devices that convert DC energy produced by photovoltaic (PV) panels – when radiated by sunlight – into AC energy, which is delivered to the grid.
Page 9: Operating Principle
PV panels as well as the device controlling the operation in parallel to the grid are integrated into the inverter. Therefore, no additional device external to the inverter is required. Not fitted in the Sunway MXS 2200 TL Figure 1: Block diagram of the SUNWAY M XS 2.4. Main Standard Integrated Functions This section contains a brief description of the equipment functions, to allow users who are not familiar with the operation of PV fields to better understand this manual.

INSTALLATION AND SUNWAY M XS 3000TL PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS 4.3.6.2. What to Do When an Alarm trips Read and make a note of the data items displayed for the alarm tripped from the ALARM HISTORY. Those data items are very useful to identify the cause responsible for the alarm and to find possible solutions.
Page 111: Status Menu
Figure 80: Resetting an alarm The SUNWAY M XS inverters implement the Autoreset function; this means that the inverter tries to automatically restart when an alarm trips. The factory setting is four restart attempts. If the alarm persists even after 4 restart attempts occurring during a time interval of 5 minutes, the inverter enters an emergency condition that requires being manually reset by the user.
