Communication Statement
The systems
Energy
Monitoring
and
Analysis
(EMA)
software
analyzes
and reports the performance of each module from real-time data collected
through the Energy Collect Device (ECD)
gateway.
The
EMA
promptly detects any performance issues in the array, pinpointing the
location and nature of the problem and providing precise guidance for
maintenance, all within a user-friendly graphic interface.
Communication between inverters and the ECD may be affected by signal “noise”
from nearby electrical equipment, the distance between inverters and the ECD,
the number of inverters supported, and other factors, so sometimes the ECD
experiences loss of signal or data randomly, that is not a problem or a fault.
If the ECD does not communicate with the EMA database at all, contact

Microinverter
System
Introduction
This integrated system improves safety; maximizes solar energy harvest;
increases system reliability, and simplifies solar system design, installation,
maintenance, and management.
Microinverters maximize
PV
energy
production
Each PV module has individual Maximum Peak Power Tracking (MPPT)
controls, which ensures that the maximum power is exported to the utility
grid regardless of the performance of the other PV modules in the array.
When PV modules in the array are affected by shade, dust, orientation,
or any situation in which one module underperforms compared with the
other units, the
Microinverter ensures
top performance
from
the
array
by maximizing
the
performance
of each module within the
array.
More reliable than centralized or string inverters
The distributed
Microinverter
system
ensures that no
single
point
of
system
failure exists across the
PV
system.
Microinverters
are
designe

operate
at
full
power
at ambient outdoor
temperayures
of
up
to
149°F
(65°C).
The inverter
housing
is
designed
for outdoor
installation and complies with the IP65 environmental enclosure rating.
Simple to install
You can install individual PV modules in any combination of
Module quantity, orientation, different type and power rate

Microinverter system operating instructions
To operate the microinverter PV system:
1. Turn ON the AC circuit breaker on each microinverter AC branch
circuit.
2. Turn ON the main utility-grid AC circuit breaker. Your system will
start producing power after a one-minute waiting time.
3. The units should start blinking red one minutes after turning on the AC circuit
breaker.Then blue led blinking. This means they are producing power normally, the faster
blinking of the blue led means more power generated.
4. Plug in the ECD and follow the instructions according to the manual
for the ECD.
5. The Microinverters will start to send performance data over
power line to the ECD. The time required for all the Microinverters in the system to
report to the ECD will vary with the number of Microinverters
in the system. You can verify proper operation of the Microinverters via the ECD. See
the ECD Installation and Operation Manual for more
information.
NOTE: Once AC power is applied, about 0.1A current and 25VA(W)
power for each microinverter may be measured with a meter. This
Current and Power are Reactive. The inverters ARE NOT operating.
After an over 60s waiting time, the inverters will start operation.

Troubleshooting
Qualified personnel can use the following troubleshooting steps if the
PV system does not operate correctly:
Status Indications and Error Reporting
Start up LED
One minute after DC power is first applied to the microinverter,one short red
blinks indicate a successful microinverter startup sequence,be equal or greater
than two short red blinks after DC power is first applied to the microinverter
indicate a failure during microinverter setup.
Operation LED
Flashing Slow Blue - Producing small power
Flashing Fast Blue -
Producing big power
Flashing Red - Not producing power
Red blinking two times-AC low-voltage or high-voltage
Red blinking three times-Grid Malfunction
GFDI Error
A four time red LED indicates the Microinverter has detected a Ground
Fault Detector Interrupter (GFDI) error in the PV system. Unless the
GFDI error has been cleared, the LED will remain four times blinking.
Other Faults
All other faults are reported to the ECD. Refer to the ECD Installation and
Operation Manual for a list of additional faultsand troubleshooting
procedures.
WARNING: Only qualified personnel should directly handle the
APsystems microinverter.
WARNING: Never disconnect the DC wire connectors under
load. Ensure that no current is flowing in the DC wires prior to
disconnecting. An opaque covering may be used to cover the
module prior to disconnecting the module.
WARNING: Always disconnect AC power before disconnecting
the PV module wires from the APsystems microinverter. Either
disconnecting by the appropriate AC circuit breaker or unplugging
the first AC connector of the first Microinverter in a branch circuit
is suitable as a means of disconnection.
WARNING: The APsystems microinverter is powered by PV module
DC power. AFTER disconnecting the DC power, when reconnecting
the PV modules tothe Microinverter, be sure to watch for the three
short LED flashes.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
a
non-operating
Microinverter
There are two possible overall areas of trouble:
A. The Microinverter itself may be having problems.
B. The Microinverter itself is working fine but it is having trouble
communicating with the ECD. The items below refer to Microinverter
issues, not communication issues (addressed in the ECD manual).
A quick way to tell whether the issue is the Microinverter or a
communication problem with the ECD:
1. Diagnosing from the Microinverter: A red light – either blinking
or solid on the Microinverter, or no light at all. No light, or a red light,
means it is definitely a Microinverter problem.
2. Diagnosing from the ECD:
a. No-Data-Display: This is probably a communication issue- not a
Microinverter problem.
b. Problems with erratic display: Data is displayed for some period
and then no data is displayed: most likely a communication issue.
c. 0 watts, or 2 watts:
Possibly a Microinverter problem
d. Erratic data display that is not coordinating with data displays
from other units: most likely a Microinverter problem.
To troubleshoot a non-operating Microinverter, Follow
the steps below in order:
1. Verify the utility voltage and frequency are within ranges shown
in the Technical Data section of this manual.
2. Check the connection to the utility grid. Verify utility power is
present at the inverter in question by removing AC, then DC
power. Never disconnect the DC wires while the microinverter
is producing power. Re-connect the DC module connectors and
watch for three short LED flashes.
3. Check the AC branch circuit interconnection between all the
microinverters. Verify each inverter is energized by the utility grid
as described in the previous step.
4. Make sure that any AC breaker are functioning properly and are
closed.
5. Check the DC connections between the microinverter and the PV
module.
6. Verify the PV module DC voltage is within the allowable range shown
in the Technical Data of this manual.
7. If the problem persists, please call Customer Support.
WARNING: Do not attempt to repair the microinverter.If troubleshooting
methods fail, please call for Technical Support
Maintenance
No need to Maintenance.
