4.1 Work Mode
Normal: In this mode, the microinverter operates normally and converts DC power into AC power to support
the household loads and feeds into the public grid.
Zero Export Control: In this mode, the microinverter’s generation is limited based on the current household
loads, and there is no extra power fed into the public grid.
Standby: There are several circumstances in which the microinverter will be in Standby mode:
• The current condition contradicts with the microinverter operating requirements.
• No household loads or the export control value has been set as “0” on the DTU in the Zero Export Control

6.3 Insulation Resistance Detection
There is a resistance sensor in the microinverter to measure the resistance between the outputs of PV
module and the ground. If there is a problem with PV module insulation, DC wiring or connectors of the
module and so on, the resistance between the outputs of the module and the ground may decrease. If this
resistance drops below a preset threshold, the microinverter will stop producing power and report this
ground fault. This fault will persist until it is cleared on the S-Miles Cloud (Hoymiles Monitoring Platform). This
fault will persist until the microinverter is rebooted.
Please note that this fault cannot be cleared if the cause of the failure is still present. If the fault persists,
contact your installer or Hoymiles for possible replacement.

3Check the AC branch circuit interconnection between all the microinverters. Verify that each
microinverter is energized by the utility grid as described in the previous step.
4 Make sure that any AC breakers are functioning properly and are closed.
5 Check the DC connections between the microinverter and the PV module.
6Verify that the PV module DC voltage is within the allowable range shown in the Technical
Data appendix of this manual.
7 If the problem persists, please call Hoymiles customer support.
Do not try to repair the microinverter. If troubleshooting fails, please return it to the factory
for replacement.
6.5 Routine Maintenance
1. Only authorized personnel are allowed to carry out the maintenance operations, and such personnel are
responsible for reporting any anomalies.
2. Always use the personal protective equipment provided by the employer when carrying out maintenance.
3. During normal operation, check that the environmental and logistical conditions are correct. Make sure
that these conditions have not changed over time and that the equipment is not exposed to adverse
weather conditions and has not been covered with foreign bodies.
4. DO NOT use the equipment if any problems are found, and restore the proper conditions after resolving
the problems.
5. Conduct an annual inspection of the various components, and clean the equipment with a vacuum cleaner
or special brushes.
Do not attempt to dismantle the microinverter or make any internal repairs! In order to preserve the
integrity of safety and insulation, the microinverters are not designed to allow internal repairs!
The AC output wiring harness (AC drop cable on the microinverter) cannot be replaced. If the cord is
damaged, the equipment should be scrapped.
Maintenance operations must be carried out with the equipment disconnected from the grid (grid
power switch on) and the PV modules obscured or isolated, unless otherwise indicated.
For cleaning, do not use rags made of filamentary materials or corrosive products that may corrode
parts of the equipment or generate electrostatic charges.
Avoid temporary repairs. All repairs should be carried out by using only genuine spare parts.
If all microinverters connect to the DTU-Pro, the DTU can limit the output power imbalance of all
microinverters between phases to below 3.68 kW if required. Please refer to the “Hoymiles Technical
Note Limit Phase Balance” for more details.
