1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Prefix
Dear customer, thank you for choosing the AU-1P600/8002G micro inverter from
AUSTA. We hope you will find our products meet your need for renewable
energy. Meantime, we appreciate your feedback regarding our products.
1.2 Grid-tied PV System
Grid-tied PV system consists of PV panels, grid-tied inverter and junction boxes.
The DC output from the PV panels is converted into AC energy and feedback to
the grid through the AU-1P600/8002G. AU-1P600/8002G PV micro inverter
contains isolation transformer with basic insulation between PV input and AC
grid output.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTION
WARNING:
PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLATION. ANY DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT DUE TO NOT
FOLLOWING THIS MANUAL IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTEE.
ALL THE INSTALLATION SHOULD BE DONE BY CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
BESIDES THE CABLE CONNECTORS, NOTHING INSIDE THE INVERTER SHOULD BE MODIFIED.
ALL INSTALLATION SHOULD FOLLOW THE LOCAL ELECTRIC CODES. FURTHER PROTECTION ON THE
AC WIRING FROM THE INVERTERS SHOULD BE PROVIDED AND MAY BE REQUIRED BY LOCAL AND
NATIONAL WIRING REGULATIONS. THIS PROTECTION IS LIKELY TO INCLUDE RESIDUAL CURRENT
DEVICES, EARTH FAULT MONITORS AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS. THIS PRODUCT MAY CAUSE AC
CURRENT WITH A DC COMPONENT. IF A RESIDUAL CURRENT-OPERATED PROTECTIVE DEVICE
(RCD) OR A MONITORING DEVICE (RCM) IS USED FOR PROTECTION IN CASE OF DIRECT OR
INDIRECT CONTACT, ONLY AN RCD OR RCM OF TYPE B IS ALLOWED ON THE AC SIDE OF THIS
PRODUCT.
NEVER DISCONNECT PV MODULE FROM THE MICRO-INVERTER WITHOUT FIRST ISOLATING THE AC
MAINS. ALL PV CONNECTORS AND AC CONNECTORS ARE FORBIDDEN TO BE DISCONNECTED
UNDER LOAD BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER ON THE AC BRANCH.
PLEASE CONTACT AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENTS FOR ANY SERVICE WORK.
AU-1P600/8002G IS A GRID-TIED SOLAR INVERTER. IT MAY REQUIRE APPROVAL FROM LOCAL
UTILITY COMPANY TO CONNECT IT TO THE POWER GRID.
AU-1P600/8002G DOES NOT INCLUDE COMPONENTS THAT CAN BE SERVED BY CUSTOMERS.
WARNING:
WHEN THE PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY IS EXPOSED TO LIGHT, IT SUPPLIES A DC VOLTAGE TO THE
MICRO-INVERTER.
3. FCC COMPLIANCE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
●Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
●Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
●Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
●Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

4. INSTALLATION
WARNING:BE AWARE THAT INSTALLATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT INCLUDES RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK. NORMALLY GROUNDED CONDUCTORS MAY BE UNGROUNDED AND
ENERGIZED WHEN A GROUND FAULT IS INDICATED.
Parts Included
In addition to the micro inverters, PV modules, racking, and associated hardware,
you’ll need the AU-1P600/8002G installation kit. This kit includes the following
items:
●Protective end cap
●Mounting Bracket (adapter plate)
●AC trunk cable, 6 feet length (option)
Other Parts and Tools Required
In addition to your PV array and its associated hardware, you will need the
following parts:
●Junction box
●Sockets, wrenches for mounting hardware
Lightning Surge Suppression
Lightning does not actually need to strike the equipment or building where PV
system is installed to cause damage. Often, a strike nearby will induce voltage
spikes in the electrical grid that can damage equipment. AU-1P600/8002G has
integrated surge protection, greater than most string inverters. However, if the
surge has sufficient energy, the protection built into the AU-1P600/8002G can be
exceeded, and the equipment can be damaged.
Since the AUSTA Limited Warranty does not cover “acts of God” such as lightning
strikes, and since lightning strikes can occur anywhere, it is best practice to install
surge protection as part of any solar installation. Installation of surge protection
devices should follow vendor instructions.
