DC input grounding
Grounding of inputs is negative conguration by default.
• Grounding cable a02 is located in the inverter on the main board.
• It is connected in position a03 for negative grounding of the inputs as illustrated below.
• To change the grounding to positive, move the connector installed in position a03 (negative) to position a04 (positive).
• In addition to moving the connector, it is also necessary to reverse the internal DC connection cable positions 4 and 6, found on the DC terminal
block within the switchbox as shown below right.
Negative ground conguration (default)
DC connection cable positions
4 (negative) and 6 (positive)
Positive ground conguration
DC connection cable positions
4 (positive) and 6 (negative)
Ground cable connector a02 and
input positions a03 (negative)
and a04 (positive)
10.
DC input connections
DC input connection depends on the grounding
conguration.
DC input connections are made after connecting an
appropriate raceway to the chassis, pulling the conductors
through the raceway and DC cable openings 18, and
connecting them to the DC terminal block 14.
In the switchbox, connect the DC input cables from the PV
string to the DC input terminal block 14 as follows:
NEGATIVE GROUNDING POSITIVE GROUNDING
Position 4: Negative input
pole of the PV array
Position 5: Positive input
pole of the PV array
Position 4: Positive input

Position 5: Negative input

AC output connections
DC switch 07 disconnects PV array current from the inverter when
switch is in the OFF position. It DOES NOT disconnect AC from the grid.
To disconnect the inverter from the AC grid, an external, customer
supplied AC switch must be used.
• Connect the AC wires on the inverter AC terminal block (positions 1, 2, 3)
based on the utility voltage conguration table below.
• Illustration at right shows the AC connection using AC cable openings 19 and
AC terminal block 16.
• Dotted line indicates where additional wire can be connected if used.

Set the grid/country standard using the two rotary switches found on the main board in the inverter prior to connecting the inverter to the
distribution grid.
Before turning the rotary switches conrm the inverter is switched OFF!
• Refer to selections below for the appropriate choice of grid parameters.
• Default setting 0 / 0 means no grid standard is selected and display language is English.
(“Set Country” message will appear on the inverter display).
• Turn dials of two rotary switches a09 to program the selected grid settings.
• Settings become xed after 24 hours of operation (the inverter does not need to be connected to the
grid, but only needs DC power to count operation time).
• Time remaining can be seen in the menu, and a notice appears on the display if time has expired.
• Contact technical
support with part number
and serial number of
the inverter to change
standard after settings
have been xed for 24
hours.

In order to connect the communication wiring to the inverter it is necessary to
replace the signal plug screw 20 with a 1/2” box connector (thread 14 NPSM) that
matches the wiring method chosen (e.g., conduit, exible conduit, etc.).
• Each cable connected to the communication
and control signals must pass through the
signal conduit 20 and signal wiring duct 17.
• RJ45 connectors a12 - RJ45 connectors
(A) and (B) available for the RS-485
communication are equivalent to each other and can be used interchangeably for input or output of the line to create a daisy chain connection
of the inverters.
• RS-485 connections a14 - If terminal blocks are used, signals RTN, +T/R and –T/R have to be cabled. Use a cable designed for use with
RS-485 communications such as Belden 3106A, which is a data cable wire with one twisted pair, one ground conductor, and a shield with
drain wire (equivalent). Locate mating connectors (provided in hardware bag) for the terminal block. Connect the three RS-485 leads (-RTN,
+T/R, -T/R) to the mating connector corresponding points. Attach the mating connector to line up with correct signals on either upper or lower
row of the terminal block.
• Daisy chain connection - Recommended length of total communication cable line for all inverters in the system is 1,000 meters (1094 yards)
or less. Depending on type of computer used, cable line
adaptor can be RS-485_RS232 or RS-485_USB.
• Termination switch A10 - On last inverter in a daisy
chain, or on a single inverter, activate termination
resistance of communication line by moving switch down
into ON position. All other inverters in daisy chain will
have the switch up in OFF position.
• Addressing each inverter - Default setting for RS-485
address is 2 and termination switch in OFF position.
When multiple inverters are connected in a daisy chain, it is
necessary to assign a different RS-485 address to each unit.
• The address can be changed before or after
commissioning using the display menu, see section 15.
Refer to the technical manual online for connections of signal
wiring a15.
The ±WT (WIND) terminals are not isolated and can
have hazardous voltages present. These terminals
must not be utilized for any purpose (for use with wind
models only).

In order to congure the ADDRESS settings (section 13) prior to grid connection, the inverter display only needs DC power to use the menus.
DO NOT connect the AC power (grid side) at this time! With only the array connected, set the inverter’s DC disconnect switch to ON.
GREEN POWER LED will ash and YELLOW ALARM LED will be steady. The message “Missing Grid” will display in area b10.
Press ESC to open the menus. Use the DOWN key to scroll to SETTINGS, and press ENTER. The SETTINGS menu requires an access password.
Upon selecting SETTINGS the password screen will open; the default password is 0000.
Pressing ENTER four times loads four zeroes on the display and opens the submenu.
• Area b10 has two visible text lines and the UP and DOWN keys are used to scroll through the menu items.
• Arrow > on the left side of the display highlights the current selection.
• Press UP or DOWN keys to move the arrow to the desired selection and press ENTER to open the associated submenu.
• To return to the preceding menu, press the ESC key.
Address: the RS-485 address may need to be changed or assigned.
• Default address is set at 2 for a single inverter.
• Scroll to Address and press ENTER to open the submenu.
• Address values are assigned manually using any value in the range 2 to 63.
• Press UP and DOWN keys to scroll through numbers and press ENTER to select, ESC to cancel.
• Turn DC disconnect switch 07 to OFF in order to save the changes.
The procedure for start up is as follows:
• Turn DC disconnect switch 07 to ON position.
• If there are two separate external disconnect switches (one for DC and the other for AC),
rst close the AC disconnect switch and then the DC disconnect switch. There is no order of priority for opening the disconnect switches.
• When the inverter has power, the rst check performed relates to input voltage:
If DC input voltage is lower than Vstart voltage (voltage required to begin the inverter’s grid connection) icon b14 remains off and the
“Waiting sun” message is displayed in area b10.
If DC input voltage is higher than Vstart voltage icon b14 is displayed and inverter goes to next stage . Voltage levels and input current
are displayed in the b15 and b16 elds.
• The inverter performs a control of grid parameters. Icon b22 represents grid distribution and can display the following states:
not present indicates AC voltage is absent, ashing indicates AC voltage is present but outside the parameters of the country of installation,
steady ON - indicates AC voltage is present and within the parameters of the country of installation; this status starts grid connection sequence.
• If the input voltage and the grid voltage are within the inverter operating intervals, connection to the grid will begin.
• Icon b21 represents an electrical plug that is connected when the inverter is connected to the grid and a disconnected when not connected.
When the connection sequence is complete, the inverter indicates its correct operation by making a sound and by the green LED coming on steady
on the LED panel. If the inverter signals any errors/warnings the messages and their codes will be indicated on the display.
Refer to full technical manual on the website for Error and Warning Codes.
