Protect Labels
Do not tamper with any warning labels on the inverter enclosure because these labels
contain important information about safe operation.
Do not tamper with the nameplate on the inverter enclosure because it contains important
product information.
Do not remove the warranty label from the inverter enclosure. Otherwise, product
warranty will be voided.
Installation
Ensure that the inverter is not connected to a power supply and is not powered on before
starting installation.
Ensure that there are no objects within 200 mm (7.87 in.), 300 mm (11.81 in.), 500 mm
(19.69 in.), 600 mm (23.62 in.), and 1000 mm (39.37 in.) of the left, right, top, bottom,
and front of the inverter, respectively. This is to allow sufficient space for installation and
heat dissipation. For ease of installation, ensure that the inverter bottom is at most 730
mm (28.74 in.) above the floor. If you have any questions about the distance, consult the
local technical support engineers.
Ensure that the inverter is installed in a well-ventilated environment.
Ensure that the inverter heat sinks are free from blockage.
Open the maintenance compartment door of the chassis before connecting cables. Do not
perform any operation on other components inside the chassis except connecting the PE
cable, AC power cables and communications cables.
Cable Connections
Before connecting cables, ensure that the inverter is secured in position and not damaged in
any way. Otherwise, electric shocks or fire may occur.
Ensure that all electrical connections comply with local electrical standards.
Obtain approval from the local utility company before using the inverter to generate
electricity in grid-tied mode.
Ensure that the cables used in a grid-tied PV system are properly connected and insulated,
meet all specification requirements.
Operation
High voltages may cause electric shocks result in serious injury, death or serious property
damage from inverter in operation. Strictly comply with the safety precautions in this
document and associated documents when operating the inverter.
Do not touch an energized inverter because the heat sink may be over 60ºC (140°F).

Follow local laws and regulations when operating the equipment.
Maintenance and Replacement
High voltages may cause electric shocks result in serious injury, death or serious property
damage from inverter in operation. Prior to maintenance, power off the inverter and strictly
comply with the safety precautions in this document and associated documents to operate the
inverter.
Maintain the inverter with sufficient knowledge of this document and proper tools and
testing equipment.
Before performing maintenance tasks, power off the inverter and wait at least 5 minutes.
Place temporary warning signs or erect fences to prevent unauthorized access to the
maintenance site.
Rectify any faults that may compromise the inverter security performance before
powering on the inverter again.
Observe ESD precautions during the maintenance.

Steady green Local maintenance
succeeds.
If both DC switches are OFF, the PV connection indicator indicates the DC input detection status. If
one or two DC switches are ON, the PV connection indicator indicates the PV string connection
status.
Local maintenance refers to operations performed after a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive,
Bluetooth module, or USB data cable is inserted into the USB port of the SUN2000. For example,
local maintenance includes data import and export using a USB flash drive and connecting to the
SUN2000 app over a Bluetooth module or USB data cable.
If alarming and local maintenance happen concurrently, the alarm/maintenance indicator shows the
local maintenance state first. After the USB flash drive, Bluetooth module, or USB data cable is
removed, the indicator shows the alarm state.

2.4 Working Principle
Conceptual Diagram
The SUN2000 receives inputs from eight PV strings. Then the inputs are grouped into four
MPPT routes inside the SUN2000 to track the maximum power point of the PV strings. The
DC power is then converted into three-phase AC power through an inverter circuit. Surge
protection is supported on both the DC and AC sides. Figure 2-9 shows the SUN2000
conceptual diagram.
Figure 2-9 SUN2000 conceptual diagram
Working Modes
The SUN2000 can work in standby, operating, or shutdown mode. Figure 2-10 shows the
relationship between the three working modes.
