This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance. Please read these instructions carefully before use and keep them for future reference 2.1 Safety signs Safety symbols used in this manual, which highlight potential safety risks and important safety information, are listad as follows: Warning: Warning symbol indicates important safety instructions, which if not correctly followed, could result in serious injury or death. Shock Hazard: Caution, risk of electric shock symbol indicates important safety instructions, which if not correctly followed, could result in electric shock. Safety Hint. Note symbol indicates important safety instructions, which if not correctly followed, could result in some damage or the destruction of the inverter. High Temperature Hazard: Caution, hot surface symbol indicates safety instructions, which if not correctly followed, could result in burns. 2.2 Safety instructions Warning: Electrical installation of the inverter must conform to the safety operation rules of the country or local area. Warning: Inverter adopts non-isolated topology structure, hence must insure DC input and AC output are electrical isolated before operating the inverter. Strictly prohibit grounding the positive and negative poles of the PV string Otherwise it will damage the inverter_ Shock Hazard: Prohibit disassembling inverter case, there existing shock hazard, which may cause serious injury or death, please ask qualified person to repair.Shock Hazard: When PV module is exposed to sunlight, the output will generate DC voltage. Prohibit touching to avoid shock hazard. Shock Hazard: While disconnect the input and output of the inverter for maintenance, please waits for at least 5 mins until the inverter discharge the remnant electricity. High Temperature Hazard. Local temperature of inverter may exceed 80 while under operating. Please do not touch the inverter case. 2.3 Notes for using The single phase string power inverter is designed and tested under related safety regulations. It can ensure the personal safety of the user. But as a electric device, it may cause shock or injury by incorrect operation. Please operate the unit under below requirements: 1. Inverter should be installed and maintained by qualified person under local standard regulations. 2. Must disconnect the AC side first, then disconnect DC side while doing installation and maintenance, after that, please wait at least 5 mins to avoid getting shacked 3. Local temperature of the inverter may exceed 80°C while under operating. Do not touch to avoid getting injured. 4. All electrical installation must be in accord with local electrical standards, and after obtaining the permission of the local power supply department, the professionals can connect the inverter to the grid. 5. Please take appropriate anti-static measure. 6. Please install where children can not touch. 7. When starting the inverters, first close the circuit breaker at the grid side, then clase the DC side; when closing the inverters, first disconnect the circuit breaker at the AC side, then disconnect the DC side. 8 Don’t insert or remove AC and DC terminals when the inverter is in normal operation. 9. The DC input voltage of the inverter must not exceed the maximum value of the model3. Operation Interface 3.1 Interface View ec > t a ee a Pic 3.1 Front panel display 3.2 Status Indicator There are four LEI status indicator lights in the front panel of the inverter. Please see table 3.1 for details (___ indicator status Explanation | on Inverter detects DC input off Low DC input voltage on Grid Connected off Grid Unavailable on Under normal operating off Stop operating on Detected faults or report faults off Under normal operating Table 3.1 Status indicator lights3.3 Buttons: There are four keys in the front panel of the Inverter{from left to right): Back, Up, Down and Enter keys. The keypad is used for: © Scrolling through the displayed options (the Up and Down keys); # Access to modify the adjustable settings (the Back and Enter keys) ( £t Back + Up + Down Ly» Enter 3.4 LCD Display The two-line Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is located on the front panel of the Inverter, which shows the following information: © Inverter operation status and data; @ Service messages for operator, © Alarm messages and fault indications.4, Product installation 4.1 Select installation location To select a location for the inverter, the following criteria should be considered: WARNING: Risk of fire © Do not install the inverter in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases © Do not install the inverter in potentially explosive atmospheres. © Do not install in small closed spaces where air can not circulate freely. To avoid overheating, always make sure the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked. © Exposure to direct sunlight will increase the operational temperature of the inverter and may cause output power limiting. It is recommended that inverter installed to avoid direct sunlight or raining. © To avoid overheating ambient air temperature must be considered when choosing the inverter instalation location. It is recommended that using 2 sun shade minimizing direct sunlight when the ambient air temperature around the unit exceeds 100°F/40. Pic 4.1 Recommended installation placeInstall on a wall or strong structure capable of bearing the weight. © Install vertically with a maximum incline of +/-15°. If the mounted inverter is tilted to an angle greater than the maximum noted, heat dissipation can be inhibited, and may result in less than expected output power. © Ifinstall more than one inverter, must leave at least 500mm gap between each inverter. And each inverter must be at least 500mm above and below. And must install the inverter at the place where children cannot touch. Please see picture 4.3. © Consider whether the installation environment is helpful to see the inverter LCD display and indicator status clearly. © Must offer a ventilate environment if inverter installed in the airtight house. Safety Hint: Do not place or store any items next to the inverter.
