3 Installing a Solar Inverter

• This quick guide describes how to install a solar

inverter on a support. For details about wall-
mounted installation, see the user manual.
• The M12x40 bolt assemblies are delivered with the Position for binding the
solar inverter. If the bolt assembly length does not security Torx wrench
meet the installation requirements, prepare M12
bolt assemblies by yourself and use them together
with the delivered M12 nuts.
• Before installing the mounting bracket, remove the
security Torx wrench and set it aside.

2. (Optional) Install screws for locking DC switches.

• According to Australian standards, the screws for DC switches are delivered with solar
inverters. The screws are used to secure DC switches (DC SWITCH 1, DC SWITCH 2, and DC
SWITCH 3) to prevent them from being turned on by mistake.
• For the model used in Australia, perform this step to meet the local standards.

3. Install the solar inverter onto the mounting bracket. 4. Tighten security Torx screws.

 4 Connecting Cables

• Connect cables in accordance with the local installation laws and regulations.
• To prevent poor cable connection due to overstress, leave enough slack before connecting the
cables to the appropriate ports.
4.1 Preparations

• S and Sp are the conductor cross-sectional areas of AC power cables and PE cables respectively.
• The cable diameter must comply with local cable standards.
• The factors that affect cable selection include the rated current, cable type, routing mode,
ambient temperature, and maximum expected line loss.

4.2 Installing a PE Cable

• It is recommended that the Reserved PE point

PE cable of the solar inverter
be connected to a nearby
ground point. Connect the PE
points of all solar inverters in
the same array to ensure
equipotential connections to
PE cables.
• To enhance the corrosion
resistance of a ground
terminal, you are advised to
apply silica gel or paint on it
after connecting the PE cable.

4.3 Opening the Maintenance Compartment Door

• Do not open the panel of the solar inverter.

• Before opening the maintenance compartment door, turn off the downstream AC output
switch and three DC switches at the bottom.
• Do not open the maintenance compartment door in rainy or snowy days. If you have to, take
protective measures to prevent rain or snow from entering the maintenance compartment.
• Do not leave unused screws in the maintenance compartment.

1. Loosen the screws on the 2. Open the maintenance compartment door and

4.4 Removing the Rubber Rings from the Crimping Module
Use scissors to cut off the joints of the rubber rings to remove them. All rubber rings are
removed in the same way.

Remove the corresponding rubber rings strictly according to the cable diameter range, and
ensure that the crimping module is not damaged. Otherwise, the protection level of the solar
inverter will be affected.

4.5 (Optional) Installing the Tracking System Power Cable

• The tracking system should be equipped with an overcurrent protective device or component.
The length of the cable between the power cable terminal and the overcurrent protection
device or component must be less than or equal to 2.5 m.
• The power supply of the tracking system should be an AC three-phase power grid.
• Keep inflammable materials away from the power cable.
• The power cable must be protected with a conduit to prevent short circuits caused by
insulation layer damage.

10
4.6 Installing the AC Output Power Cable

• This section describes how to install an AC output power cable for the 3-pin model.
• The cable outer diameter can be measured using the ruler sticker in the maintenance
compartment.
• Ensure that the AC output power cable is secured. Failure to do so may cause the solar inverter
to malfunction or damage to its terminal block by issues such as overheating.
• Sufficient slack should be provided in the PE cable to ensure that the last cable bearing the
force is the PE cable when the AC output power cable bears pulling force due to force majeure.
• If a screw on the maintenance compartment door is lost, obtain the spare screw from the
fitting bag tied at the bottom of the maintenance compartment.

4.7 Installing DC Input Power Cables
Selecting DC Input Terminals
When the DC inputs are not fully configured, the DC input terminals must meet the following
requirements:
1. Evenly distribute the DC input power cables on the DC input terminals controlled by the three
DC switches. DC SWITCH 1 is preferred.
2. Maximize the number of connected MPPT circuits.

Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.

Installing a DC Input Power Cable

1. Use the positive and negative Amphenol Helios H4 metal contacts and DC connectors
supplied with the solar inverter. Using incompatible positive and negative metal contacts and
DC connectors may result in serious consequences. The caused device damage is not covered
under any warranty.
2. Before connecting the DC input power cables, label the cable polarities to ensure correct
cable connections. Otherwise, the solar inverter may be damaged.
3. Measure the voltage at the DC input end using a multimeter set to the DC position. If the
voltage is a negative value, the DC input polarity is incorrect. Correct the polarity. If the
voltage is greater than 1100 V, too many PV modules are configured to the same string.
Remove some PV modules.
4. If the DC input power cable is reversely connected and the DC switches are set to ON, do not
perform any operation on the switches or the positive and negative connectors. Otherwise,
the device may be damaged. The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty.
Wait until the solar irradiance weakens at night and the PV string current decreases below 0.5
A. Set the three DC switches to OFF, and correct the connection of positive and negative
connectors.
5. Connect the PV string connector to the inverter connector, and then pull back the PV string
connector along the axial direction to check whether the connectors are securely connected.
6. The connector must be securely connected. Damages caused by improper connection are not
covered under the warranty.

4.8 Installing the RS485 Communications Cable
Pin Definitions of Communications Ports

• The solar inverter supports RS485

communication and MBUS communication. If
the MBUS communication mode is used, you
do not need to connect the communications
cable to the RS485-1 port.
• This section describes how to connect three
communications cables.
• When routing communications cables,
separate communications cables from power
cables to prevent communication from being
affected.

6 Powering On the System

When LED2 is steady green (meaning that the inverter is grid-tied), do not turn on any DC
switch. Otherwise, the inverter may be damaged because the insulation resistance is not
detected.

• Before turning on the AC switch between the solar inverter and the power grid, check that
the AC voltage is within the specified range using a multimeter set to the AC position.
• Do not turn the DC switch to the unloaded position .

1. Turn on the AC switch between the solar inverter and the power grid.
2. (Optional) Remove the screws that secure DC SWITCH 1, DC SWITCH 2, and DC SWITCH 3,
and keep the screws properly for the power-off maintenance later.
3. Set DC SWITCH 1 (MAIN SWITCH) at the bottom of the solar inverter chassis to ON. When
you hear a click sound, the switch is ON.
4. Check the status of the PV connection indicator. If it is steady green, set DC SWITCH 2 and
DC SWITCH 3 to ON.
5. Observe the LED indicators to check the operating status of the solar inverter.
