1. Introduction 1.1. Introduction This manual describes Trannergy solar inverters PVI1300TL,PVI1800TL ,PVI2300TL, These PVI2700TL,PVI3000TL,PVI3200TL, PVI4000TL, PVI4600TL and PVI5400TL. products are among the most technologically advanced and efficient inverters on the market and are designed to ensure a stable power supply for many years.
Additionally it will lead to the cancelling of all inverter operating approval certificates. The Trannergy inverters in the PVI range are all designed according to the German VDE0126-1-1standard. If non-original spare parts are used, the compliance with CE guidelines in respect of electrical safety, EMC and machine safety is not guaranteed.
1.5. General Safety Rules for Working on Electrical Equipment All persons installing, maintaining or servicing inverters should be trained in and have experience with the general safety rules to be observed when working on electrical equipment. Installation and service personnel should also be familiar with local requirements, rules and regulations as well as safety requirements.
The limitation is calculated continuously and always allows the maximum possible amount of energy to be produced. Please use the tool supplied by Trannergy when dimensioning a photovoltaic system. 1.7. DC-switch On1y trained and authorized personnel familiar with local electrical codes may perform service or maintenance on the inverter.
2. Technical Description of Inverters 2.1. Mechanical design Figure 2-1 shows the outline dimensions of PVI1300/1800/2300/2700/3000TL: Figure 2-1 Figure 2-2 shows the outline dimensions of PVI3200/4000/4600/5400TL: Figure 2-2 User Manual...
Note: The AC output terminal is most length part at the bottom of inverter, so take care of the AC output terminals, do not make it stand on the ground or other materials while moving or lifting the inverters otherwise will make terminal damaged. 2.2.

We recommend a 32A DC Breaker located at the input of the DC input, and a 32A AC Breaker located at the output of the AC part. Notes: When choose the breaker, please call your installer for technique support For the input and output wire selection, we recommend UL1015 wire, please see the following table.
3. Operation Mode Definition The inverter has four standard operation modes. 3.1. Waiting mode In waiting mode, the inverter is ready to switch into connecting mode. As decision variable the input voltage of the PV generator is used. Inverter is waiting to checking when output DC voltage from PV panels is greater than 100V (lowest start-up voltage) but less than 150V (lowest operating voltage).
Page 13
PV over voltage 1. Check the open circuit voltage of the PV generator, see if it is greater than or too close to 450VDC (for PVI1300TL/PVI1800TL) or 500VDC (for PVI2300TL /PVI2700TL /PVI3000TL) 2. If PV voltage is less than 450VDC or 500VDC, and the problem still occurs, please call the service.
The Trannergy inverter may become hot in normal operation. Do not install the Trannergy inverter on easily flammable materials and where flammable materials are stored. Do not install the Trannergy inverter where there is a risk of explosion. Caution! Danger of burns from hot housing components! Install the Trannergy inverter at a proper place where it cannot be touched unintentional.

The area where the Trannergy inverter installed is as dry as possible in order to extend their service life. Ensure good access to the unit for installation or any service work that may later be required. Ensure that equipment out of the children's reach.
The unit has been designed for vertical or tilted backwards by max.15° installation. Do not install the Trannergy inverter forwards. Never install it horizontally. Install at eye level makes it easier to operate and read the display.

Figure 4-5 Attention! Before inserting expansion bolts, measure the depth of every hole and measure the distance between every two holes. If the measures values do not meet installing requirements, re-drill holes in the wall. c) Hung the inverter on the installation board,Fit washers and bolts(double) Fit washers and bolts (double) Figure 4-6 d) Check both sides for correct positioning.

Note! 1) After the inverter has been installed in its fixed position, the electrical connection to the unit can be established. 2) Make sure Max. Open Voltage and short-circuit current of the PV string accord with the Spec. 3) Choose the appropriate cable width for AC/DC wire. 4) To connect the inverter, the AC and DC side must be disconnected from all power.

Strip the jacket of cable(40±1mm) and strip the insulation(7.5±0.5mm), see Figure 4-10. Figure 4-10 Amphenol specified strip tool can be used in this step. Adjust the striper stopper and put the cable in the corresponding notch to strip the length of 7.5mm as male side.
Page 22
When the separation of connector is necessary, use common tool to separate (A word screwdriver). Lay the tooling in the location of snap and press the tool down. Then the male side can be pushed from the female insert by hand, see Figure4-14. Figure 4-14 ...
The breaker should have certain capacity of over current and over voltage. In addition, before cutting off the DC end connection please cut off the AC end connection at first. Type Maximum input voltage[V] Maximum input current[A] 18.4 PVI1300TL 18.4 PVI1800TL 18.4 PVI2300TL User Manual...

PVI3000TL PVI3200TL PVI4000TL PVI4600TL PVI5400TL For the inverter PVI1300TL/1800TL/PVI2300TL/PVI2700TL/PVI3000TL, there is a pair of DC connection and one MPPT tracker. For the inverter PVI3200TL, PVI4000TL, PVI4600TL and PVI5400TL, there are two pair of DC connection and two MPPT trackers. Attention! The open circuit voltage of the PV generator must be measured, which must not exceed the maximum input voltage of the unit.

Strip the cable 7 mm, see Figure4-20. Figure 4-20 Insert striped cable into contact barrel, and insure all conductor strands are captured in the contact barrel. Crimp contact barrel by using a hex crimping die. A specified crimping tool can be used in this step.
4.4. Run the inverter Start inverter after checking all below steps a) Make sure all the DC breaker and AC breaker are disconnected. b) AC cable is connected to grid correctly. c) All PV panels are connected to inverter correctly,DC connectors which are not used should be sealed by cover.

5.5. Power Factor Settings For the VDE-AR-N 4105 standard, customers need to adjust PF. Firstly, confirm that the inverter is set to VDE-AR-N 4105 standard. Then do the following: During connecting state or normal Connecting running state. Pac = xxx.x W Preferably connecting state.
6. Communication and Monitoring 6.1. Communication Interfaces This product has a communication interface RS-232, RS-485 and Wireless (optional). Operating information like output voltage, current, frequency, fault information, etc., can be delivered to PC or hardware storage devices or other monitoring equipment via communication interface. 6.2.
Notes: If your computer doesn’t have the DB9 communication interface, you can use RS232-USB cable to achieve this function. One inverter can only be communicated with one PC at the same time through RS-232 port. Thus this method is generally used for single inverter’s communication, for examples, software updating and serviceman’s testing.
6.2.3. Wireless PVI1300/1800/2300/2700/3000/3200/4000/4600/5400TL can be communicated with wireless. Trannergy can customize the required special device from customers to realize wireless communication. 6.3. Monitoring System monitor PVCS should be configured to realize one PC communicates with multi inverters at the same time. Through PC PVCS could get real time PV plants operating data.
7. Service and repair 7.1. Safety during service and repair In this chapter the term ‘event’ describes all conditions preventing the inverter from operating properly. An event can occur in any part of the system (grid, PV modules, cables and connectors, inverter), and does not automatically indicate an inverter failure.
Page 36
Use this check list first if you experience problems with your PV system: 1) Check the event at the LCD, An event is indicated at the LCD 2) Check that AC grid voltage is within the normal range(see LCD information) 3) If not, check whether the AC isolation switch is connected, and whether the AC grid is available.
