fins and cover) is heating. Sometimes it will reach 60℃. Please
don’t touch these parts to avoid scald.

Only qualified electricians are allowed to operate on

the inverter.
Only qualified electricians are allowed to install the
inverter.
Do not carry out any wiring and inspection or changing
components when the power supply is applied. Hazardous
voltages may still be present in the inverter even if the AC
and DC main switches are switched off. Wait at least 5
Installation and Operation Manual 3
 minutes after switching off the inverter. This ensures that
the capacitors are electrically discharged.

This product can cause a d c current in the external

protective earth conductor. Where a residual current-
operated protective (RCD) or monitoring (RCM) device is
strongly recommend to used for protection in a case of direct
or indirect contact, only an RCD or RCM of Type B is
allowed on the supply side of this product;

Must be grounded before operation.

Ensure the proper grounding of the inverter, otherwise, improper

connection or no grounding may cause stop of the inverter.
Ensure reliable installation and electrical connection.
When the photovoltaic generator cells are exposed to light (even
if it is dim), the generator supplies DC voltage to the inverter.

4 Overview
4.1 Introduction of Grid-connected System
Basically Grid-connected system is comprised of 4 portions: PV array,
PV inverter, AC connection unit and Public Grid connection unit.

Once PV arrays receive sun shines, they will generate DC current and
feed into PV inverter which is configured between DC input and
municipal AC grid. Through converting DC into AC, the solar energy is
transmitted into municipal Electrical Grid.

5.2 Installation of Inverter

Please read the following installation instruction before you start your
work so as to achieve best effect of the inverter.

1. In order to keep long life of inverter, the installation site should be

always kept dry.
2. Select suitable location to install the inverter, where is not so easy
for pedestrian to touch, but consider easy installation and easy
maintenance as well.
3. Make sure the inverter should be kept at least 30CM away from
other stuff.
4. Don’t directly expose the inverter under the sun light; high
temperature will affect the inverter’s working efficiency. When the
temperature keeps below 40℃, the inverter will be in best Working
status, the life of inverter will be maximum.
5. Keep good ventilation so as to reduce heat accumulation
6. Once installing inverter in living environment, don’t mount it in
plastics plate or wooden plate to avoid noise, it is better to mount it
on the wall.
7. The inverter generates heat during normal working status; don’t
install it on flammable objects or near the place to store flammable
materials. Don’t install it near potential explosion area.

Installation and Operation Manual 12
 (4mm2) and the outer diameter of Φ13mm of the photovoltaic cable
as the connecting line of the AC output terminal. Cables should
avoid high temperature, flame and rain water whenever possible.
4. During connecting the inverter, make sure no connection among
AC, DC and any power resources. They also can not be connected
when any accident occurs.
5. Identify the polarity of wires and connection ports first, then
connect the inverter with solar arrays and municipal Electrical
Grid.

Only qualified cables under the local electrical safety laws

and regulations are allowed to connect.

Miniature circuit breakers

It is recommended strongly to install circuit breakers or fuses at the DC
input and AC output to ensure safe installation and running.

In order to protect the PCE, user and installer, external DC

and AC circuit breaker shall be equipped at the end-use
application;
The wiring shall be according local electric code. Choose

5.6 Connection Procedure

1. Connection with Municipal Electrical Grid
First disconnect with municipal Grid by breaker, make sure it will
not be connected again even due to accident. Put the terminal of L,
N, and PE into the port which is with mark. Then take the plug to
the inverter
2. Connection with Solar Array
In order to guarantee installation and operation of system
safety, external manual breaker has to be configured at DC side.
The selection of breaker should meet basic current and voltage
capacity. Meanwhile, disconnect AC current first before disconnect
DC units.
Before connect the inverter with solar Arrays, test max series
voltage of solar Arrays, whose value should not be over max input
voltage of inverter. Meanwhile the short current of solar Arrays is
better not to exceed max DC current. Please check the polarity of
solar Arrays before the connection.
The positive of solar Arrays should be connected to positive
port in the inverter and the negative of solar Arrays should be
connected to negative port in the inverter.

Installation and Operation Manual 15

6.1 Trial Operation
The inverter can be activated only after the following inspections are
well executed:
1. Correct connection for AC cables.
2. All solar arrays are connected with the inverter correctly.
3. Tighten all screws.
4. Turn on the breaker between DC and AC.
5. The inverter will automatically get started once PV arrays generate
enough voltage.

6.2 Working Status

Working status is divided into 3 kinds: normal working status, faulty
status, and termination status.
1. Normal Working Status
There are two modes: standby status and running status for this stage.
Under this mode, the system is running in normal status. Meanwhile
tracking all functioning data to keep the system running in its best
status.
Once PV array’s voltage is less than start voltage, the inverter will
be in standby status, at this period the inverter starts to run and all
test functions get ready, but it doesn’t feed power to municipal
Electrical Grid. When PV array’s voltage is higher than start
voltage, the inverter will transfer to running status after self test,
and meanwhile start to feed energy to municipal Grid.

 The following example shows the process when PV voltage is increased
from 120V:

Attention: Before connecting to DC, please make sure

input positive (+) and negative (-) connections are correct,
otherwise the component of inverter will be damaged,
which may cause the inverter in abnormal operation status.

Installation and Operation Manual 17

 2. Fault Status
Inverter is always under intelligent monitoring condition after it
gets started. It will become faulty status when any fault occurs (such
as municipal voltage is overload, frequency is over range) or
components failure. The faulty information can be displayed by
LCD, at that time the red LED is on.

3. Termination Status
When the output voltage from PV array is lower than a certain
threshold, the inverter will be in termination status. All LCD or
LED light will be off, and no energy from inverter fed to
municipal Grid. Meanwhile no energy consumption for inverter
itself, any actions on the keys (buttons) are invalid.

6.3 LED Display

In the front panel, here are 2 LED displays: RED light and GREEN
light. Under normal working condition, GREEN light keeps on. The
display functions of these 2 LED lights are as follows:
Working (GREEN light): it will be on during normal working status.
But it will be off during night time when no current is from solar
Arrays.
Error (RED light): it will be on when fault alarm occurs or
components failure. If you like to realize more error information,
please refer to below chapters.

Under any arrays or any conditions, the system can be rapidly tracked
the max. power from the arrays. When the output power is trending to
be stable, which expresses that the inverter reach its Max power,
meanwhile maximum power will be received and transferred into AC
to feed to municipal electricity Grid by the inverter. When the output
power is displayed as floating, which means, the inverter is adjusting
its own status by tracking maximum power output from Arrays any
time.
