1.9 INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
Obey the following stipulations during installation:
• The Soladin Web DC Switch is designed for both indoor
and outdoor use, according to protection class IP66;
• Ambient temperature: -20 to 40°C;
1.10 DC CONFIGURATION
The solar or DC side of the system consists of several pho-
tovoltaic (solar) modules, connected as “PV string”. These
strings consist of a plus (+) and a minus (–) connection
which can be connected to the Soladin inverter via the Sola-
din Web DC Switch. The cabling between the DC Switch
and the inverter must be double insulated and suitable for
400 V DC and 15A DC.
1.11 PV INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The PV installation has to meet next specifications:
• The maximum open circuit string voltage at lowest
possible temperature of the string may not exceed 400V;
• Double isolated PV wiring, tted with Amphenol Helios H4
connectors (at the inverter side) must be used;
• The maximum power connected to the switch may not
exceed 400Vdc/ 15Adc for each output.
Do not install the Soladin DC Switch if the solar system does
not comply with the stipulations mentioned above.

2 SAFETY GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS
2.1 WARNINGS AND SYMBOLS
Safety instructions and warnings are marked in this manual
by the following pictograms:
A procedure, circumstance, etc which deserves
extra attention.
CAUTION!
Special information, commands and
prohibitions in order to prevent damage.
WARNING
A WARNING refers to possible injury to the
user or installer or significant material damage
to the Soladin Web DC Switch if the installer /
user does not (carefully) follow the stated
procedures.
2.2 USE FOR INTENDED PURPOSE
Use the Soladin Web DC Switch only in installations that
meet these qualifications:
• in permanent installations;
• the electrical installation must meet the applicable regula-
tions and standards, must be carried out correctly and must
be in a good condition;
• according to the technical specications.
WARNING
Never use the Soladin Web DC Switch in situ-
ations where there is danger of gas or dust
explosion or potentially flammable products!
Use of the Soladin Web DC Switch other than
as mentioned under § 2.2 is not considered to
be consistent with the intended purpose. Mas-
tervolt does not hold itself liable for any damage
resulting from the above.
2.3 ORGANISATIONAL MEASURES
The installer / user must always: have access to this manual;
be familiar with the contents of this manual. This applies
particularly to Chapter 2, Safety Guidelines & Warning.
2.4 INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
WARNING
As high voltages exist, only allow installation,
maintenance and repair of the Soladin Web DC
Switch and changes in your electrical system to
be carried out by qualified electricians. Con-
nections and safety features must be executed
according to the locally applicable regulations.
If such are required, only use original spare
parts
Use the special Amphenol tool when taking the
Amphenol connectors apart.
2.5 WARNING OF SPECIAL DANGERS
The voltages present at both sides of the
Soladin Web DC Switch and inside the
enclosure are not safe to touch. Do not work
on the Soladin Web DC Switch and/or the
electrical installation if it is still connected to
the PV panels or the inverter. Allow time for the
inverter capacitors to de-energize. Verify de-
energizing of all connections using a suitable
metering instrument.Make sure two persons
are present when working on an installation,
at least until the installation has been de-
energized and verified by a suitable metering
instrument.

3 INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
CAUTION!
Until all wiring has been verified to be de-
energized for safety reasons, at least two
persons are required during installation.
Verify that all wiring is disconnected from any
energy source during the entire installation.
Use suitable testing equipment.
Read chapters 2 and 4 prior to installation.
Short circuiting, miswiring or reverse polarity
may lead to damage to the Soladin Web DC
Switch, the inverter, the cabling and/or the
connections.
3.1 THINGS YOU NEED FOR INSTALLATION
Make sure you have all the parts you need to install the Sola-
din Web DC Switch:
• This printed user’s manual (included).
• 2 screws to x the enclosure to the wall.
• Screwdriver to x the Soladin Web Switch to the wall
• Tools to install the optional grounding wiring.
3.2 INSTALLATION STEP BY STEP
1 Fix the Soladin Web DC Switch to the wall, the input
facing downwards. The screw holes are positioned at the
center, 110 mm apart. Use suitable screws and plugs.
2 Mount the optional resistance f
4 Connect wiring from the inverter, check the polarity.
5 Connect the wiring from the PV strings.
6 Check string voltages and polarities.
7 Close the lid securely to prevent moist leaking inside.
Turn the screws clockwise to tighten the lid.
Fix the top screw first, hang the Soladin Web
Switch into position. Then fix the bottom screw.
3.3 COMMISSIONING AFTER INSTALLATION
Move the DC switch to the ON position (vertical).
3.4 DE-COMMISSIONING
If it is necessary to take the Soladin Web DC
Switch out of operation, follow these steps:
1 Turn the switch to the 0 (Off) position
2 Disconnect the PV connectors first
3 Disconnect the Soladin connectors
4 Disconnect the optional grounding
Now the DC Switch can be taken off the wall safely.
3.5 MAINTENANCE
If necessary, use a soft clean cloth to clean the enclosure
of the Soladin Web DC Switch. Never use any liquids, acids
and/or scourers. Examine your electrical installation on a
regular base, at least once a year. Defects such as loose
connections, burnt wiring etc. must be corrected immedi-
ately.
PE PE
Figure 3-1: Grounding by means of a resistor
3.6 PV GROUNDING
Depending on the PV panel type, functional grounding is
required. The Soladin Web DC Switch includes material to
ground either the inverter input plus or minus. See figure 3-1.
Use the 100 k Ohm resistor R to connect 2 or 4 to PE.
Follow these steps, using figure 3-1:
1. Make sure no DC is present, refer to chapter 2.
2. Connect the PE terminal to your PE connection.
3. Connect the 100 k Ohm resistor with the PE terminal.
4. Connect the other side of the resistor to 2 (positive input)
or 4 (minus input).
