7.5 Wireless signal environmental checks
The inverter can be commissioned and monitored using the
wireless communication channel. The WLAN board of the inverter
uses radio waves to transmit and receive data, it is therefore
important to find a new position for the router considering the
different materials which the radio signal will have to pass through:
Material Relative signal reduction
Open field 0% (strength of approximately 40 meters)
Wood / Glass From 0 to 10%
Stone / Plywood From 10 to 40%
Reinforced concrete From 60 to 90%
Metal Up to 100 %
ATTENTION –AFinal installation of the inverter must not
compromise access to any externally located disconnection
devices.
READ THE MANUAL –EPlease refer to the warranty terms
and conditions to evaluate any possible warranty exclusions
due to improper installation.
8. Mounting Instructions
ATTENTION –AThe inverter must be corrrectly installed, in a
suitable location, to operate properly and safely.
ATTENTION –AInstallers must know and understand
applicable NEC requirements and any local codes for
photovoltaic systems.Installers must know and understand
OSHA and other applicable safety requirements, including
lockout/tagout procedures.
ATTENTION –ARemember that when the photovoltaic
panels are exposed to sunlight they provide continuous
DC voltage to the inverter. Before installation may begin,
photovoltaic panels must be shaded or isolated.
ATTENTION –ABefore installation may begin, the inverter
must be disconnected from the grid (power disconnect switch
open and external AC disconnect locked out/tagged out).
ATTENTION –ALimit installation to licensed electricians
experienced in PV plant wiring.
ATTENTION –AObtain approval of the local AHJ before
connecting the inverter to the electrical grid.
ATTENTION –AThe equipment owner must post the PPE
level (per NFPA TDE-2012, Table 13)
8.1 Installations of protection covers for
wiring box openings
ATTENTION –AThe connections can also be made with the
wiring box (02) detached from the power module (01) that
can be connected later for commissioning. When working
with the wiring box (02) detached, pay particular attention to:
- presence of earth connection
- The top of wiring box must always be protected in outdoor
installations with proper protection covers (optional
accessory content in “PVS-175 INSTALLATION KIT”, to
be ordered separately). Refer to the dedicated chapter
“Installation of protection covers for wiring box openings
(long term installation)” for further information about the
installation procedures.
ATTENTION –ANever leave the power module (01) or the
wiring box (02) (without protection covers) disassembled on
the field.
To install the protection covers place them over the wiring box
openings and fix it using the 8 x M5 screws provided with the
accessory kit.
8.2 Bracket assembly
• Assemble the two side bracket pieces together with the central
bracket, by sliding it as shown in the picture and paying attention to
the orientation of the pieces (refer to arrow and “UP” markings on
the brackets): side brackets arrow have to be turned downwards,
central bracket have to be turned upwards.
• Slide the central bracket in order to match the two holes with the
centerning pins of the side brackets.
