Page 9: Installation
Installation 4.1 Safety instructions / Consignes de sécurité All electrical installations must be carried out in accordance with the local and national electrical codes ANSI/NFPA 70, NEC. The RADIUS Home - APV inverters are listed to UL1741/IEEE1547 . Do not remove the casing. Inverter contains no user serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Warning! Toute installation électrique doit être faite en accord avec les normes électriqueslocales et nationales ANSI/NFPA 70, NEC. -
Page 10: Selecting The Mounting Location
4.2 Selecting the mounting location Raintight or wet location hubs that comply with the requirements of UL 514B for Conduit, Tubing and Cable Fittings must be used. The unit shall be mounted at least 914 mm (3 feet) above the ground. The installation method and mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the inverter. -
Page 11: Mounting The Inverter On The Wall Mounting Frame
4.4 Mounting the inverter on the wall mounting frame Hang the inverter on the mounting frame. Insert safety-lock screws through the bottom section of the frame to secure the inverter. 4.5 Checking inverter installation Check the upper straps of PV-Inverter and ensure that it fits on the frame. Check that the PV inverter is mounted securely by trying to raise it from the bottom. The PV-Inverter should remain firmly attached. -

Wire Box 5.2 Safety The PV Inverter must be connected to the AC ground from the grid via the Ground Terminal (PE) Warning! 5.3 Connecting to the grid (AC utility) 5.3.1 GRID standards Before wiring the RADIUS Home - APV-...-US inverter, the installer needs to determine the grid configuration that the inverter will be connected to. The RADIUS Home - APV-...-US inverter is factory-set for a 240 Vac split phase connection. -
Page 14: Connection Of The Ac Wiring (Ac Output)
5.3.2 Connection of the AC wiring (AC output) Determine the correct grid (utility) configuration type, if it is not 240 Vac split phase. You should use the LCD to set the correct net model as detailed in sections 5.3.1 and 6.3. Open the breaker or fuse between PV Inverter and the grid. -
Page 15: Commissioning Checks
Before connecting PV panels to DC terminals, please make sure the polarity is correct . Incorrect polarity could permanently damage the unit. Check short-circuit current of the PV string. The total short-circuit current of the PV string should be less than the inverter’s maximum DC current. Connect the positive and negative terminals from the PV panel to positive (+) terminals and negative (-) terminals on the PV inverter. -

Page 19: Operating Modes
Operating modes The inverter has three different operating modes. 7.1 Normal mode In this mode, the inverter works normally. Whenever the supplied power from PV panel is sufficient (voltage>120VDC), the inverter converts power generated by the PV panel to the grid. If the power is insuf- ficient (voltage<120VDC), the inverter enters a “waiting”... -
