1.2 Safety Instruction
Installation and maintenance of inverters must be performed by qualified personnel, in accordance with
local electrical standards, wiring regulations and requirements of local power authorities.
The temperature of some parts of the inverter may exceed 60℃ during operation, do not touch the
inverter during operation to avoid being burnt.
Ensure children are kept away from inverters.
Take appropriate measures to avoid electric shock.
Don’t open the front cover of the inverter. Apart from performing work at the wiring terminal,
touching or changing components without authorization may cause injury to people, damage to
inverters and annulment of the warranty.
Ensure the output voltage of the proposed PV array is lower than the maximum rated input voltage of
the inverter; otherwise the inverter may be damaged and the warranty annulled.
When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous high DC voltage. Please operate according
to our instructions, or it will result in danger to life.
Don’t insert or pull the terminals when the inverter is running.
After the inverter is powered off, the remaining electricity and heat may still cause electric shock and
body burns. Do not touch parts of inverter for 10 minutes after disconnection from the power sources.
Danger of high voltage!
Only qualified personnel may perform work on the inverter.
Grounding terminal
Safety Symbol Description

5.1 Grounding
Electrical Connection Electrical Connection
If the positive pole or negative pole of the PV array is required to be grounded,
then the inverter output (to AC grid) must be isolated by transformer in
accordance with IEC63109-1,-2 standards.
Step2.Insert the exposed core wires into the crimping areas of the OT terminal and crimp them
using hydraulic pliers.
Step3.Remove the ground screws from the ground points.
Step1.Remove an appropriate length using a wire Stripper.
According to the EN50178 requirement, the right side of the device has a protective grounding connection.

1. Measure and access the voltage and frequency of the point to ensure that it meets the grid-tied
specifications of the inverter.
2. PE wire (GND) must be well grounded to ensure that impedance between Neutral wire and Earth wire
is less than 10Ω.
3. Disconnect the circuit breaker or fuse from the inverter and grid-connected access point.
4. Use the copper wire.
5. Follow these steps.
Select proper AC cables and OT terminals (5 wires).
Unscrew the nut of the cover and thread the AC cable (5 wires) cross the nut, threaded sleeve and the
the cover. Then crimp the OT terminal and use heat shrink tubing or insulation tape for protection.

5.3 DC Connection
DANGER
PV modules generate electric energy when exposed to sunlight and can create an electrical
shock hazard. Therefore, when connecting the PV modules, shield them with opaque cloth
and ensure that DC switches are OFF.
To avoid electric shock, don’t touch the charge part and connect the terminals carefully.
Before connecting power cables, ensure the AC/DC switches are OFF.
When the inverter is connected to the grid, don’t plug in or plug out the PV strings.Don’t
perform any operation until the inverter is shut down.
WARNING
PV modules connected in series in each PV string must be of the same specifications.
The maximum open-circuit voltage of each PV string must be always lower than or equal
to its permitted range.
The maximum short circuit current of each PV string must be always lower than or equal
to its permitted range.
Ensure that the positive and negative terminals of each PV strings connected to the
inverter correctly.
The positive or negative terminals of PV strings can’t be connected with short circuit.
The total output power of all PV strings can’t exceed the maximum input power of the
inverter.
NOTICE
The positive and negative terminals of PV modules can’t connect to PE wire(GND) ,
otherwise, the inverter will be damaged.
Ensure that the voltage of each PV string doesn’t exceed 1100V under any circumstance.
When the input voltage is 1000V to 1100V, the inverter will enter the standby state. When
the voltage returns to the MPPT operating voltage, namely 160V-1000V, the inverter will
return to the normal state.

DANGER
Wrong maintenance will result in personnel injury or equipment damage!
Before performing any maintenance operations, you must follow these steps:
First, disconnect the AC circuit breaker on the grid side, and then disconnect
the DC switch.
Wait at least 10 minutes after the inverter is powered off,otherwise there will be a
high voltage shock.
Use testing equipment to make sure there is no voltage or current.
8.1 Troubleshooting
NOTICE
Comply with ESD protection specifications and power distribution ESD bracelets.
Avoid unnecessary contact with the circuit board.
Touching printed circuit boards or other electrostatic sensitive components may
cause damage during the process.
If the inverter is break down, the LED indicator will turn to red.
Alarm Information Measures Recommended
A0-Grid over
voltage
1. If the alarm occurs accidentally, possibly the power grid is abnormal accidentally. No extra action is
needed.
2. If the alarm occurs repeatedly, contact the local power station. After receiving approval of the local
power bureau, revise the electrical protection parameter settings on the inverter through APP.
3. If the alarm persists for a long time, please confirm that:
1) The AC circuit breaker is not tripping frequently (generating an instantaneous high voltage);
2) The wiring of AC cable is followed by the guide in user manual, and high cable impedance can
cause a voltage rise on the grid;
3) The voltage of three-phase inverter between the neutral wire and the ground line exceeds 30V; and
please correct the grid wiring if it exceeds;
If the above problems are excluded, please contact customer service to report a repair.
A1-Grid under
voltage
1.If the alarm occurs accidentally, possibly the power grid is abnormal temporarily. No extra action is
needed.
2.If the alarm occurs repeatedly, contact the local power station. After receiving approval of the local
power bureau, revise the electrical protection parameter settings on the inverter through APP.
3.If the alarm persists for a long time, please confirm that:
1) The AC circuit breaker is disconnected;
2) The AC circuit breaker is damaged (under closed status, please check that the voltage of the inlet is
consistent with that of the outlet);
3) The AC terminals are in good contact.
If the actual measuring voltage is within the specified range, please contact customer service to report
a repair.

1) The AC circuit breaker is disconnected;
2) The AC circuit breaker is damaged (under closed status, please check that the voltage of the inlet is
consistent with that of the outlet);
3) The AC terminals are in good contact;
4) Whether the power supply line failure.
If exclude all possibilities, please contact customer service to report a repair.

A6-Grid abnormal
(Only for three-
phase inverter)
1. If the alarm occurs accidentally, possibly the power grid is abnormal temporarily. No extra action is
needed.
2. If the alarm occurs repeatedly, please:
1) Measuring three-phase voltages (L1-N, L2-N,L3-N) and check whether the imbalance is more than
30%. If yes, please contact energy company.
2) Measuring three-phase voltages at input and output sides of AC circuit breaker to check whether
breaker is damaged. If yes, please replace a new breaker.
3) Short circuit input and output ports of neutral wire on AC breaker, then check the alarm status. If it
returns normal, please replace a 3-pole breaker and keep neutral wire shorting. If not, please contact
customer service.

the positive and negative polarity of the PV component are short-circuited to ground. And check if the
component is damaged or the connection cable is broken.
3. If the alarm continues and equipment cannot generate power, please contact customer service to
report a repair.

abnormal
1. If the alarm occurs accidentally but the inverter can generate power, probably the power grid causes. The
inverter can be automatically recovered. No extra action is needed.
2. If the alarm occurs frequently and is accompanied by an insulation impedance alarm. Check for the
abnormal alarm of the insulation.
3. If the alarm continues and the equipment cannot generate electricity, please contact customer
reservice to export a repair.
B4-PV under
voltage
1. If occurs when the light is weak (such as the early morning or evening, rainy weather and dust
storms), the component voltage is lower than normal. No extra action is needed.
2. If not related to light intensity, please check whether the string has a short circuit or open circuit.
B7-PV string
