3.3 Equipment Installation
3.3.1 Selecting the installation position
The following must be considered when selecting the best
location for an inverter:
`The mount and installation method must be suitable for the
inverter's weight and dimensions.
`The location must be well ventilated and sheltered from
direct sunlight.
`Install vertically or tilted backward by max 15°. The device
cannot be installed with a sideways tilt. The connection area
must point downwards.
Figure 3.3.1-1
`To allow dissipation of heat, and for convenience of
dismantling, clearances around the inverter must be at least:

3.4 Electrical Connection
Connections must be made in compliance with local
regulations and the requirements of local power
authorities/companies.
In accordance with VDE0126-1-1/A1, the inverter incorporates
a Residual Current Monitoring Unit (RCMU) which monitors
residual current from the solar module to the grid side of the
inverter. The inverter can automatically differentiate between
fault current and normal capacitive leakage currents.
3.4.1 Connection to grid (AC side Connection)
ACheck the grid (utility) voltage and frequency at the
connection point of the inverter. It should be 230VAC (or
220VAC), 50/60Hz, and single phase.
BDisconnect the breaker or fuse between the PV-inverter
and the utility.
CConnect the inverter to the grid as follows:
`Switch off the AC breaker.
`Disassemble the female connector of the AC wire
connector and connect the AC wires to the connection
socket as indicated.

`After fastening all screws, reassemble the female
connector of the AC wire connector.
`Connect the female connector of the AC wire
connector to the male connector on the inverter.
DSpecifications of the AC wires:

Depicted Size
A External diameter of the wire 12mm-25mm
B Sectional area of conducting materials Max.6mm2
C Length of bare wire Approx.10mm
E AC output connection
Tighten the screw with a screw driver until the head of the
screw is inside the connector. Otherwise the wire could be
loose.

3.4.2 DC side connection
AMake sure the maximum open circuit voltage (Voc) of
each PV string does not exceed the inverter’s input voltage
Vmax under any condition.
BUse Amphenol or Multi-contact connectors for the PV
array terminals.
CConnect the positive and negative terminals of the PV
panel to corresponding terminals on the inverter. The DC
terminal on each inverter can bear 20A DC current.

If using Amphenol connectors for the PV array terminals,
install as follows.
Female side connector (PV+) Male side connector (PV-)
Connectors must be installed as a pair, and each cable stripped
and installed as shown below.

Compress the two snap-in springs by hand and release
Where the inverter is equipped with a DC switch, ensure the
switch is in the "OFF" position before connecting the inverter
to PV panels. Switch to "ON" after completing the connection.
Caution：
`Before connecting the PV panels, ensure the plug
connectors have the correct polarity. Incorrect polarity could
permanently damage the unit.
`Checks the short-circuit current of the PV string. The total
short-circuit current of must not exceed the inverter’s
maximum DC current.
`High voltage exists when the PV panel is exposed to the sun.
Secure the terminal connection and, to avoid electric shock,
do NOT touch any exposed components.
3.4.3 RS485 Communication
An RS485 interface is used for multipoint communication. The
EzLogger can monitor and communicate with 50 inverters at
the same time; however the cable length should not exceed
1000 m. The diagram below shows a typical inverter
connection through the RS485 interface.

The diagram below shows the inverter connections for
multipoint communication through the RS485 interface.
“EzExplorer” software at the PC end allows 16 EzLoggers to
be monitored simultaneously, in real time.
