4.2 Mounting the inverter
Mounting procedure:
UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121 17
Risk of injury due to the product falls down
If the depth and distance of the holes is not correct, the
product maybe fall down from the wall.
•Before inserting the wall anchors, measure the depth and
distance of the holes.
2. After cleaning the dust and other objects from the holes, place
3 wall anchors into the holes, then attach the wall bracket to
the wall using the hexagon head screw delivered with the
inverter.
3. Hold the inverter using the handles at the corners, attach the
inverter onto the wall bracket tilted slightly downwards.
18 UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121
4. Check both sides of the outer fin of the inverter to ensure that it
is securely in place.
5. Attach the outer fins of heat sink to both sides of the wall
bracket using M4 screws. (screw driver type: PH2, torque: 1.6
Nm).

5.3 Electrical connection diagram with a separate DC isolator
Local standards or codes may require that a separate DC isolator
should be installed next to the inverter. The separate DC isolator
must disconnect each PV string of the inverter so that the entire
inverter can be removed if the inverter is faulty. We recommend
the following electrical connection:
5.4 AC Connection

D Stripping length of the AC cable’s
Approx.53 mm
outer sheath
The PE insulated conductor must be 2 mm longer than the L
and N conductors
Larger cross-sections should be used for longer leads.
Cable Design
The conductor cross-section should be dimensioned to avoid
power loss in cables exceeding 1% of rated output power.
The required conductor cross-section depends on the inverter
rating, ambient temperature, routing method, cable type, cable
losses, valid installation requirements of installation side.
UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121 23
If an external residual-current protection device is
required, please install a type B residual-current protection
device with a protection limit of not less than 100mA.
Overvoltage category
The inverter can be used in grids of overvoltage category III or
lower in accordance with IEC 60664-1. This means that it can be
permanently connected at the grid-connection point in a building.
In installations involving long outdoor cable routing, additional
measures to reduce overvoltage category IV to overvoltage
category III are required.
AC circuit breaker
In PV systems with multiple inverters, protect each inverter with a
separate circuit breaker. This will prevent residual voltage being
present at the corresponding cable after disconnection.
No consumer load should be applied between AC circuit breaker
and the inverter.
The selection of the AC circuit breaker rating depends on the
wiring design (wire cross-section area), cable type, wiring
method, ambient temperature, inverter current rating, etc.
Derating of the AC circuit breaker rating may be necessary due
to self-heating or if exposed to heat.
The maximum output current and the maximum output
overcurrent protection of the inverters can be found in section 10
"Technical data".
24 UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121
Grounding conductor monitoring
The inverter is equipped with a grounding conductor monitoring
device. This grounding conductor monitoring device detects
when there is no grounding conductor connected and
disconnects the inverter from the utility grid if this is the case.
Depending on the installation site and grid configuration, it may
be advisable to deactivate the grounding conductor monitoring.
This is necessary, for example, in an IT system if there is no
neutral conductor present and you intend to install the inverter
between two line conductors. If you are uncertain about this,
contact your grid operator or AISWEI.
UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121 25
5.4.2 Grid connection
Procedure:
3. Insert the grounding wire (PE), neutral wire (N) and live wire
(L1, L2 and L3) of the crimped European connector into the
corresponding holes of the terminal block as indicated by the
arrows below, and tighten the screws with a 3mm wide Allen
wrench. The torque is 2.0 Nm.
26 UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121
4. Push the holding buckle and the sealing plug into the screw
sleeve body, and then assemble the terminal block, the screw
sleeve body and the tightening nut together. First clamp the
terminal block with a plastic clamp, then screw the screw
sleeve body onto the terminal block, and finally tighten the
tightening nut.
UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121 27
5.4.3 Additional grounding connection
If additional grounding or equipotential bonding is required
locally, you can connect additional grounding to the inverter. This
prevents touch current if the grounding conductor on the AC
connector fails.
Procedure:
1. Align the terminal lug with protective conductor.
2. Insert the screw through the hole located at the housing and
tighten it firmly (screw driver type: PH2, torque: 2.5Nm).

5.5 DC connection
UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121 29
5.5.2 Assembling the DC connectors
Cable requirements:
The cable must be of type PV1-F, UL-ZKLA or USE2 and comply
with the following properties:
External diameter: 5-8mm
Conductor cross-section: 2.5-6mm²
Qty single wires: minimum 7
Nominal voltage: minimum 1100V
Procedure:
1. Strip about 12 mm of the cable insulation.
30 UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121
2. Route the stripped cable all the way into the DC connector.
Ensure that the stripped cable and the DC connector have the
same polarity.
3. Push the swivel nut up to the thread and tighten the swivel
nut. (SW15, Torque: 2.0Nm)
UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121 31
Procedure:
1. Make sure DC power is cut off.
2. Unscrew the swivel nut.
32 UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121
5.5.4 Connecting the PV Array
Procedure:
1. Ensure that the individual AC circuit breaker is switched off
and secure it against reconnection.
2. Ensure that the DC-switch is switched off and secure it against
reconnection.
3. Ensure that there is no ground fault in the PV strings.
4. Check whether the DC connector has the correct polarity. If
the DC connector fits with a DC cable having the wrong
polarity, the DC connector must be reassembled again. The
DC cable must always have the same polarity as the DC
connector.
5. Ensure that the open-circuit voltage of the PV strings does not
exceed the maximum DC input voltage of the inverter.
6. Unplug the sealing plug on the input end of the DC connector
and connect the assembled DC connectors to the inverter until
they audibly snap into place. Do not unplug the sealing plug
from the input end of unused DC connector.
UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121 33
Damage to the inverter due to moisture and dust penetration
Seal the unused DC inputs with sealing plugs so that
moisture and dust cannot penetrate the Inverter.

8.2 LED indicators
The three LED indicators from top to bottom are:
1. SOLAR power indicator
When the inverter is in the standby self-checking state, the
white light flashes. Under normal grid-connected working state,
the light is always on. In “Fault” mode, the light is off.
2. COM communication indicator
When the inverter communicates with other devices normally,
the white light flashes. If communication is abnormal or not
connected, the light is off.
3. Fault indicator
The light is on when the invert is faulty or when external
conditions cannot be grid-connected or when it is working
improperly. When there is no fault, the light is off
UM0005_ASW 8-20K-LT-G2_EN_V03_1121 47
Danger to life due to electric shock when touching exposed
DC conductors or DC plug contacts if the DC connectors are
damaged or loose
The DC connectors can break or become damaged, become
free of the DC cables, or no longer be connected correctly if
the DC connectors are released and disconnected incorrectly.
This can result in the DC conductors or DC plug contacts
being exposed. Touching live DC conductors or DC plug
connectors will result in death or serious injury due to electric
shock.
• Wear insulated gloves and use insulated tools when working
on the DC connectors.
• Ensure that the DC connectors are in perfect condition and
that none of the DC conductors or DC plug contacts are
exposed.
• Carefully release and remove the DC connectors as
described in the following.
