As a solar system operator you expect reliability and high yield from your system. With our SolarMax range we offer inverters that fully meet these requirements. The SolarMax inverter range is characterised by high efficiency and high availability.
(6 x 50 mm) and two wall plugs are included. First install the device from the mains and from the solar generator! the mounting rail on the wall. The SolarMax inverter can then be pushed onto the n Before opening the SolarMax device, the DC and AC feed lines must be mounting rail.

If this is not the case, additional overvoltage-limiting elements (varistors) must be installed at the network connection point. If the SolarMax device is installed inside a building, the space should be well ventilated. The inverter must be mounted on a solid surface.
2.2 Electrical connection Assembly of the AC cable socket Sputnik Engineering supplies the SolarMax inverters prewired and ready for con- SM2000S/ 3000S/4200S/ 6000S: nection. All connections are pluggable. The device therefore does not have to be Rear part of socket opened.
2.3 Overvoltage protection and in accordance with the relevant installation regulations. SolarMax inverters feature integrated surge protectors at the input and output. On General information: the DC side 2 surge arresters (varistors) for the plus and minus terminal to earth When connecting several SolarMax devices, distribute the inverters over the are installed.
2.6 Configurable limit values and operational settings All SolarMax inverters operate fully automatically and maintenance-free. The In the SolarMax S series the following parameters can be set manually via the inter- isolating switches between the solar generator, the inverter and the 230 V mains face with the MaxTalk software.
2.7 Heat sink temperature limit Important: The country must match the location of the inverter in order to For safety reasons the temperature of the heat sink is limited to 80 °C. At ambient ensure that the inverter operates within country-specific limit values. temperatures of more than 45 °C the heat sink temperature may reach 75 °C.
