For details refer to the section Avoid constant stream of water. Avoid direct sunlight. Ensure adequate air flow.
  • Page 10 3. Installation Illustration 3.1: Safe Distances Observe these distances when installing one or more inverters. One row mounting is recom- mended. Contact the supplier for information on mounting in more rows. Illustration 3.2: Wall Plate Note: Use of the wall plate delivered with the inverter is mandatory. Use screws that can safely carry the weight of the inverter.

    3. Installation 3.3. Removing the Inverter Loosen the locking screws on either side of the inverter. Removal is performed in the reverse order of mounting. With a firm grip at the lower end of the inverter, lift the inverter approximately 20 mm vertically. Pull the inverter slightly away from the wall.
  • Page 14 3. Installation Push the front cover upwards. When a slight resistance is felt, give the front cover a tap on the bottom to snap it into holding posi- tion. It is recommended to use the holding position instead of dismounting the front cover completely.

Installation Illustration 3.11: AC Cable Wire Strip Legend 1 Blue cable - Neutral 2 Yellow/green cable - Earth The illustration shows the stripping of insulation of all 5 wires of the AC cable. The length of the PE wire must be longer than the mains and neutral wires. Illustration 3.12: AC Connection Area Verify the inverter matches the grid-voltage.

    3. Installation Technical All wires must be properly fastened with the correct torque. See the section Data, Torque Specifications for Installation . Close the front cover, and remember to verify that both front screws are applied with the correct torque to obtain PE connection. Close main circuit breaker.

    3. Installation When unmated the MC4 connectors are not IP54. The intrusion of moisture may occur in the following situations: The inverter runs in Master/Slave operation and only one or two PV in- puts are in use. In this case, the other inputs are not connected to PV and they are therefore open to intrusion.

Start-up and Check of Settings Note: Due to the advanced functionalities of the inverter, it may take up to 10 seconds before the display becomes available after power up. Note: For the TLX Pro version the first start-up and check of settings can also be performed via the integrated Web Server.

The clock is 24-hour format. Illustration 4.2: Set Time Note: It is very important to set the time and date accurately as the inverter uses this for logging.
  • Page 21 4. Start-up and Check of Settings Enter the amount of installed PV power for each of the PV inputs. When two or more PV inputs are connected in parallel, each PV in- put in the parallel group must be set to the total amount of PV power installed to that group divided by the number of parallel in- puts.
