2 Safety And Conformity
2.1 Safety Instructions
Danger To Life Due To Lethal Voltages!
Lethal voltages are present within the unit and on the power supply lines.
Therefore, only authorized electricians may install and open the unit. Even when
the unit is disconnected, high contact voltages may still be present within the
unit.
Danger Of Burn Injuries Due To Hot Enclosure Parts!
During operation, the four sides of the enclosure lid and the heat sink may become
hot. Only touch the front enclosure lid during operation.
Grounding The PV Generator
Comply with the local requirements for grounding the PV modules and the PV
generator. We recommend connecting the generator frame and other electrically
conductive surfaces in a manner which ensures continuous conduction with
ground in order to have optimal protection of the system and personnel.
Capacitive Discharge Currents
PV modules with large capacities relative to earth, such as thin-film PV modules
with cells on a metallic substrate, may only be used if their coupling capacity does
not exceed 470nF. During feed-in operation, a leakage current flows from the cells
to earth, the size of which depends on the manner in which the PV modules are
installed (e.g. foil on metal roof ) and on the weather (rain, snow). This "normal"
leakage current may not exceed 30mA due to the fact that the inverter would
otherwise automatically disconnect from the electricity grid as a protective
measure.
DC and AC Breaker
Disconnecting the unit securely from the grid and the PV generators, battery using DC and
AC breaker. DC and AC breaker shall be able to disconnect all non- ground conductors after
installation.
Grounding The PV Modules
This unit is a transformer-less inverter. It has no galvanic separation. Do not earth the DC
circuits of the PV modules to the inverter. Only Earth the mounting frame. If you bond the
PV modules to the inverter you will receive an error message "PV ISO Low".

3.2 Information of the Unit
The unit is bidirectional which applies to the PV system with battery storage. Energy produced
by the PV system is used to optimize self-consumption. Excess energy is used to charge the
batteries, and then fed into the public grid when the PV energy is adequate.
When PV energy output is insufficient to support connected loads, the system automatically
draws energy from the batteries if battery capacity is sufficient. If the battery capacity is
insufficient to meet own consumption requirements, electricity will be drawn from the public
grid.

�Before connecting PV panels to the DC terminals, please make sure the polarity is
correct. Incorrect polarity connection could damage the inverter.
�Check short-circuit current of the PV string. The total short-circuit current of the PV
string should be less than the inverter's maximum DC current.
�Connect the positive and negative terminals from the PV panel to positive ( +) terminals
and negative(-) terminals on the PV-Inverter. Each DC terminal on Inverter can
withstand 11A.
♦For instance, if the positive pole of a string is connected at MPP tracker A and the
string's negative pole at MPP tracker B, this is called a mixed connection, the
inverter no longer fulfils the requirements of the EMC Directive.
♦Only connect strings at one input zone and never mix the input zones A and B.
♦High voltages exist when the PV panel is exposed to the sun. To reduce risk of
electric shock, avoid touching live components and treat connection terminals

5.7 Earth Fault Alarm Connection
If this occurs the inverter will disconnect from the grid stopping power supply. The Inverter
will detect a low insulation resistance level during the preliminary stage of a ground leakage
on the DC side during operation with the grid. It will be visible with the red LED status on the
front of the inverter as well as an error and fault notification on the monitoring portal.
Usually this fault derives from a PV string, array or another DC connection point..
To remedy this issue, first ensure the inverter is fully and safely disconnected. The PV strings
could to be checked for earth faults in the first instance of trouble shooting. To determine
and locate where any earth fault exists, carry out the appropriate measurement tests of the
voltages between the positive / negative poles of each string and the earth potential
(individually and together).
the BMS + / BMS – cables will connect into the inverter.
