----End
Follow-up Procedure
Before removing the AC connector, ensure that the DC switch at the bottom of the SUN2000
and all the switches connected to the SUN2000 are OFF.
To remove the AC connector from the SUN2000, perform the operations in reverse order.
Before connecting the DC input power cables, ensure that the DC voltage is within the
safe range (lower than 60 V DC) and that the DC switch on the SUN2000 is OFF. Failing
to do so may result in electric shocks.
When the SUN2000 is running, it is not allowed to work on the DC input power cables,
such as connecting or disconnecting a PV string or a PV module in a PV string. Failing to
do so may cause electric shocks.
If no PV string connects to a DC input terminal of the SUN2000, do not remove the
watertight cap from the DC input terminals. Otherwise, the IP rating of the SUN2000 will
be affected.
Ensure that the following conditions are met. Otherwise, the SUN2000 may be damaged, or
even a fire could happen.
The DC input voltage of the SUN2000 shall not exceed maximum input voltage under any
circumstance.
The polarities of electric connections are correct on the DC input side. The positive and
negative terminals of a PV string connect to corresponding positive and negative DC input
terminals of the SUN2000.
If the DC input power cables are reversely connected, do not operate the DC switch as
well as positive and negative connectors immediately. Wait until the night when solar
irradiance declines and the PV string current drops to below 0.5 A. Then set the DC switch
to the OFF position, remove the positive and negative connectors, and correct the
polarities of the DC input power cables.
Since the output of the PV string connected to the SUN2000 cannot be grounded, ensure
that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.
During the installation of PV strings and the SUN2000, the positive or negative terminals
of PV strings may be short-circuited to ground if the power cable is not properly installed
or routed. In this case, an AC or DC short circuit may occur and damage the SUN2000.
The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty or service agreement.
Procedure
Step 1 Assemble a DC connector.
Use the Staubli MC4 positive and negative metal terminals and DC connectors delivered with
the SUN2000. Using incompatible positive and negative metal terminals and DC connectors
may result in serious consequences. The caused device damage is not covered under any
warranty or service agreement.
Keep the DC input PV+ cable and PV– cable close to each other.
Cables with high rigidity, such as armored cables, are not recommended as DC input
power cables, because poor contact may be caused by the bending of the cables.
Before assembling DC connectors, label the cable polarities correctly to ensure correct
cable connections.
After crimping the positive and negative metal terminals, pull the DC input power cables
back to ensure that they are connected securely.
Insert the crimped metal terminals of the positive and negative power cables into the
appropriate positive and negative connectors. Then pull back the DC input power cables to
ensure that they are connected securely.
If the PV string is not configured with an optimizer, use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the
DC position. The multimeter must have a DC voltage range of at least 600 V. If the voltage is a
negative value, the DC input polarity is incorrect and needs correction. If the voltage is greater than
600 V, too many PV modules are configured to the same string. Remove some PV modules.
If the PV string is configured with an optimizer, check the cable polarity by referring to the Smart
PV optimizer quick guide.
Step 2 Insert the positive and negative connectors into corresponding DC input terminals on the
SUN2000.
After the positive and negative connectors snap into place, pull the DC input power cables
back to ensure that they are connected securely.
If the DC input power cable is reversely connected and the DC switch is set to ON, do not
immediately turn off the DC switch or reconnect the positive and negative connectors.
Otherwise, the device may be damaged. The caused device damage is not covered under any
warranty or service agreement. Wait until the night when solar irradiance declines and the PV
string current drops to below 0.5 A. Then set the DC switch to the OFF position, remove the
positive and negative connectors, and correct the polarities of the DC input power cables.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
Before removing the positive and negative connectors, ensure that the DC switch is OFF.
To remove the positive and negative connectors from the SUN2000, insert a disassembly tool
into the notch and press the tool with an appropriate force.
Battery short circuits may cause personal injury. The high transient current generated by a
short circuit may release a surge of power and cause fire.
Do not connect or disconnect the battery cable when the SUN2000 is running. Failing to
do so may cause electric shocks.
Before connecting the battery cables, ensure that the DC switch on the SUN2000 and all
the switches connecting to the SUN2000 are OFF, and the SUN2000 has no residual
electricity. Otherwise, the high voltage of the SUN2000 and battery may result in electric
shocks.
If no battery connects to the SUN2000, do not remove the watertight cap from the battery
terminal. Otherwise, the IP rating of the SUN2000 will be affected. If a battery connects to
the SUN2000, set aside the watertight cap. Reinstall the watertight cap immediately after
removing the connector. The high voltage of the battery terminal may result in electric
shocks.
A battery switch can be configured between the SUN2000 and the battery to ensure that the
SUN2000 can be safely disconnected from the battery.
During the installation of the SUN2000 and battery, the positive or negative terminal of
the battery will be short-circuited to ground if power cables are not installed or routed as
required. In this case, an AC or DC short circuit may occur and damage the SUN2000. The
caused device damage is not covered under any warranty or service agreement.
The cabling distance between the battery and the SUN2000 should be less than or equal to
10 meters, and within 5 meters is recommended.
Procedure
Step 1 Assemble the positive and negative connectors by referring to 5.6 Connecting DC Input
Power Cables.
The battery voltage will result in serious injury. Use dedicated insulation tools to connect
cables.
Ensure that cables are correctly connected between the battery terminal and the battery
switch, and between the battery switch and the SUN2000 battery terminal.
Cables with high rigidity, such as armored cables, are not recommended as battery cables,
because poor contact may be caused by the bending of the cables.
Step 2 Insert the positive and negative connectors into corresponding battery terminals on the
SUN2000.
After the positive and negative connectors snap into place, pull the battery cables back to
ensure that they are connected securely.

The grid codes are subject to change. The listed codes are for reference only.
Set the grid code based on the grid code of the country or region where the inverter is used and the
inverter application scenario.
B Device Commissioning
Step 2 Connect to the solar inverter WLAN and log in to the device commissioning screen as the
installer user.
If the mobile phone is directly connected to the SUN2000, the visible distance between the
SUN2000 and the mobile phone must be less than 3 m when a built-in antenna is used and
less than 50 m when an external antenna is used to ensure the communication quality
between the app and the SUN2000. The distances are for reference only and may vary
with mobile phones and shielding conditions.
When connecting the SUN2000 to the WLAN over a router, ensure that the mobile phone
and SUN2000 are in the WLAN coverage of the router and the SUN2000 is connected to
the router.
The router supports WLAN (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz) and the WLAN signal reaches
the SUN2000.
The WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2 encryption mode is recommended for routers.
Enterprise-level encryption is not supported (for example, public hotspots requiring
authentication such as airport WLAN). WEP and WPA TKIP are not recommended
because these two encryption modes have serious security defects. If the access fails in
WEP mode, log in to the router and change the encryption mode of the router to WPA2 or
WPA/WPA2.
Obtain the initial password for connecting to the solar inverter WLAN from the label on the side of
the solar inverter.
Use the initial password upon first power-on and change it immediately after login. To ensure
account security, change the password periodically and keep the new password in mind. Not
changing the initial password may cause password disclosure. A password left unchanged for a long
period of time may be stolen or cracked. If a password is lost, devices cannot be accessed. In these
cases, the user is liable for any loss caused to the PV plant.
When you access the Device Commissioning screen of the SUN2000 for the first time, you need to
manually set the login password because the SUN2000 does not have an initial login password.

User Manual E Locating Insulation Resistance Faults
If the ground resistance of a PV string connected to a solar inverter is too low, the solar
inverter generates a Low Insulation Resistance alarm.
The possible causes are as follows:
A short circuit occurs between the PV array and the ground.
The ambient air of the PV array is damp and the insulation between the PV array and the
ground is poor.
To locate the fault, connect each PV strings to a solar inverter, power on and check the solar
inverter, and locate the fault based on the alarm information reported by the FusionSolar app.
If a system is not configured with any optimizer, skip the corresponding operations. Perform
the following steps to locate an insulation resistance fault:
Step 1 The AC power supply is connected, and set the DC switch at the bottom of the solar inverter
to OFF. If the solar inverter connects to batteries, turn off the battery switch.
Step 2 Connect each PV string to the solar inverter and set the DC switch to ON.
Step 3 Log in to the FusionSolar app and choose My > Device Commissioning. On the Device
Commissioning screen, connect and log in to the solar inverter, and access the Alarm
management screen. Check whether the Low Insulation Resistance alarm is reported.
If the Low Insulation Resistance alarm is not reported one minute after the DC is
supplied, set the DC switch to OFF and go to Step 2 to connect another PV string to the
solar inverter for a check.
If a Low Insulation Resistance alarm is still reported one minute after the DC is
supplied, check the percentage for possible short-circuit positions on the Alarm details
page and go to Step 4.

User Manual E Locating Insulation Resistance Faults
The positive and negative terminals of a PV string are connected to the PV+ and PV– terminals of
the solar inverter. The PV– terminal represents a possibility of 0% for the short-circuit position and
the PV+ terminal represents a possibility of 100% for the short-circuit position. Other percentages
indicate that the fault occurs on a PV module or cable in the PV string.
Possible fault position = Total number of PV modules in a PV string x Percentage of possible short-
circuit positions. For example, if a PV string consists of 14 PV modules and the percentage of the
possible short-circuit position is 34%, the possible fault position is 4.76 (14 x 34%), indicating that
the fault is located near PV module 4, including the previous and the next PV modules and the
cables of PV module 4. The solar inverter has a detection precision of ±1 PV module.

Step 4 Set the DC switch to OFF and check whether the connector or DC cable between the possible
faulty PV modules and the corresponding optimizers, or those between the adjacent PV
modules and the corresponding optimizers are damaged.
If yes, replace the damaged connector or DC cable, set the DC switch to ON, and view
the alarm information.
− If the Low Insulation Resistance alarm is not reported one minute after the DC is
supplied, the inspection on the PV string is complete. Set the DC switch to OFF. Go
to Step 2 to check other PV strings. Then go to Step 8.
− If the Low Insulation Resistance alarm is still reported one minute after the DC is
supplied, go to Step 5.
If not, go to Step 5.
Step 5 Set the DC switch to OFF, disconnect the possible faulty PV modules and corresponding
optimizers from the PV string, and connect a DC extension cable with an MC4 connector to
the adjacent PV modules or optimizers. Set the DC switch to ON and view the alarm
information.
If the Low Insulation Resistance alarm is not reported one minute after the DC is
supplied, the fault occurs on the disconnected PV module and optimizer. Go to Step 7.
If the Low Insulation Resistance alarm is still reported one minute after the DC is
supplied, the fault does not occur on the disconnected PV module or optimizer. Go to
Step 6.
Step 6 Set the DC switch to OFF, reconnect the removed PV module and optimizer, and repeat Step
5 to check the adjacent PV modules and optimizers.
Step 7 Determine the position of the ground insulation fault.
1. Disconnect the possible faulty PV module from the optimizer.
2. Set the DC switch to OFF.
3. Connect the possible faulty optimizer to the PV string.
4. Set the DC switch to ON. Check whether the Low Insulation Resistance alarm is
reported.
− If the Low Insulation Resistance alarm is not reported one minute after the solar
inverter is powered on, the PV module is faulty.
− If the Low Insulation Resistance alarm is still reported one minute after the solar
inverter is powered on, the optimizer is faulty.
5. Set the DC switch to OFF. Replace the faulty component to rectify the insulation
resistance fault.
Step 8 If the SUN2000 connects to batteries, turn on the battery switch. Set the DC switch to ON.
