SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• This manual contains important instructions for installation and maintenance of the Hoymiles
product models HRSD-1C and the Transmitter.
• Risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover, disassemble, or repair, no user-serviceable parts
inside. If it fails, contact Hoymiles Customer Support. Damaging or opening the product will void
the warranty.
• Before installing or using the Hoymiles HRSD-1C System, please read all instructions and warning
markings on the Hoymiles products, relevant sections of your inverter manual, photovoltaic (PV)
module installation manual, and other available safety guides.
• Failure to adhere to these instructions may result in injury or death, damage to the system or
invalidating the factory warranty.
• Perform all electrical installations in accordance with local codes.
• Do NOT disconnect the PV module from the HRSD-1C without first disconnecting the AC power.
• Installation must be performed by trained professionals only. Hoymiles does not assume liability for
loss or damage resulting from improper handling, installation, or misuse of products
• Do not attempt to install in inclement weather.
• Be aware that the body of the running HRSD-1C is the heat sink and can reach high temperatures.
To reduce the risk of burns, do not touch the body of the HRSD-1C.
• Do not operate the HRSD-1C if they have been physically damaged. Check existing cables and
connectors and ensure they are in good condition and appropriate in rating. Do not operate HRSD-
1C with damaged or substandard wiring or connectors.
• Do not connect or disconnect under load. Turning off the Inverter and/or the HRSD-1C products
may not reduce this risk. Internal capacitors within the inverter can remain charged for several
minutes after disconnecting all power sources. Verify capacitors have discharged by measuring a
voltage across inverter terminals before disconnecting wiring if service is required. Wait 30 seconds
after rapid shutdown activation before disconnecting DC cables or turning off DC disconnect.
• The transmitter control power supply MUST be on the same AC branch circuit as the inverter to
meet rapid shutdown requirements.
