1. Introduction
Dear customer, thank you for purchasing this product. The HYBRID BASIC controller is the first series
produced control system which enable you to control a PV system connected with a Diesel generator
in an intelligent way. With the modern HYBRID BASIC series Diesel - PV controller you can control
your PV system in a way that Diesel load is minimised, and fuel saving is maximized. The modern
controllers offer the following functions:
•Multiple Generator set control
•Prime mover and generator protections
•Engine data measurement (optional trough external bus):
oOperating hours
oRunning hours
oStart attempts
oOil pressure
oCoolant temperature
oBattery voltage
oFuel level measurement
oEngine speed
oService hours
oEtc.
•Generator voltage, current and power measurement
•GRID control and GENERATOR control with one device
•Ethernet based web interface for remote control (optional)
•2x MODBUS RS-485 for engine control and easy expanding
Specializing in products for generators and hybrid power solutions, the HYBRID BASIC offers the
following features standard:
•Wide range power supply input from 85 - 265 VAC (50 - 60 Hz)
•Small footprint.
•Intuitive software.
•Wide temperature range of -25° –+85°.
•Industrial PUR protection coating for extra rugged environment.
•IP-68 on request.

2. Installation
2.1 Safety instructions
Before installing the product in the end-installation, ensure that the device is not damages during
transport and everything looks in a normal way.
All the connecting cables must not be bent or squeezed. This can result in malfunctions, short circuits
and defects in the device and/or sensor connected.
Make sure that cables are not damaged when drilling or bolting in place.
The module may only be commissioned after it has been installed contact-free in a casing. This
product generates high frequency. Never operate it in the vicinity of medical devices (e.g.
pacemakers) and/or medical equipment (e.g. in hospitals). Look for a suitable installation site.
2.1 Device overview
Before wiring the device, be sure that the voltage is switched off.
