Installing the Inverter
2.2
When drilling holes, avoid the water pipes
and power cables buried in the wall.
1. Install the mounting bracket.
•M6x60 expansion bolts are delivered with the inverter. If the length and number of the bolts
do not meet installation requirements, prepare M6 stainless steel expansion bolts by yourself.
•The expansion bolts delivered with the inverter are used for solid concrete walls. For other
types of walls, prepare bolts by yourself and ensure that the wall meets the load bearing
requirements of the inverter.
•Loosen the nuts, flat washers, and spring washers of the two expansion bolts.

2. (Optional) Install the screw for locking the DC switch.
•The screws for DC switches are delivered with solar inverters. According to Australian
standards, the screws are used to secure DC switches (DC SWITCH) to prevent them from
being turned on by mistake.
•For the model used in Australia, perform this step to meet the local standards.

•Connect cables in accordance with the local installation laws and regulations.
•Before connecting cables, ensure that the DC switch on the inverter and all the switches
connecting to the inverter are set to OFF. Otherwise, the high voltage of the inverter may
result in electric shocks.
Preparing for Installation
3.1
3Electrical Connections
Prepare an anti-theft lock suitable for the lock hole diameter (Ф8 mm) and ensure that the lock
can be installed successfully. An outdoor waterproof lock is recommended.
3. Install the inverter on the mounting bracket. 4. (Optional) Install an anti-theft lock.

5
Installing the PE Cable
3.2
Do not connect the neutral wire to the enclosure as a PE cable. Otherwise, electric shocks may
occur.
•The PE point at the AC output port is used only as a PE equipotential point, and cannot
substitute for the PE point on the enclosure.
•It is recommended that silica gel or paint be used around the ground terminal after the PE
cable is connected.
Installing the AC Output Power Cable
3.3
•Ensure that the protection layer of the AC output power cable is inside the connector, the
core wires are totally inserted into the cable hole, and the cable is connected securely. Failing
to do so may cause device malfunction or damage.
•The hex key is delivered with the inverter and bound to the hanging kit at the bottom of the
inverter.

3. Check the route of the AC output power cable.
•This section describes how to connect a five-core AC output power cable to an AC connector.
•A three-core AC output power cable can be connected similarly. The three-core cable (L1, L2,
and L3) is not connected to the neutral wire or PE wire.
•A four-core or five-core AC output power cable can be connected similarly. The four-core
cable (L1, L2, L3, and PE) is not connected to the N wire, and the four-core cable (L1, L2, L3,
and N) is not connected to the PE wire.

Installing the DC Input Power Cable
3.4
1. Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.
2. Use the Staubli MC4 positive and negative metal terminals and DC connectors supplied with
the solar inverter. Using incompatible positive and negative metal terminals and DC
connectors may result in serious consequences. The caused device damage is not covered
under warranty.
3. The DC input voltage of the SUN2000 shall not exceed 1080 V DC under any circumstance.
4. Before installing the DC input power cable, label the cable polarities to ensure correct cable
connections.
5. If the DC input power cable is reversely connected, do not operate the DC switch as well as
positive and negative connectors immediately. Failing to do so may cause device damage,
which is not covered under any warranty. Wait until the night when solar irradiance declines
and the PV string current drops to below 0.5 A. Then set the DC switch to the OFF position,
remove the positive and negative connectors, and correct the polarities of the DC input
power cable.
1. Assemble DC connectors.

•If your Smart Dongle is not equipped with a SIM card, prepare a standard SIM card (size: 25
mm x 15 mm) with the capacity greater than or equal to 64 KB.
•Install the SIM card in the arrow direction.
•When reinstalling the cover of the Smart Dongle, ensure that the buckle springs back in
place (you can hear a click).

•Not all inverter models are delivered with the signal cable connector.
•When laying out the signal cable, separate it from the power cable and keep it away from
strong interference sources to avoid strong communication interference.
•Ensure that the protection layer of the cable is inside the connector, surplus core wires are cut
off from the protection layer, the exposed core wire is totally inserted into the cable hole, and
that the cable is connected securely.
•If the Smart Dongle is configured, you are advised to install the Smart Dongle before
connecting the signal cable.

11
•In the SmartLogger networking scenario, the Smart Dongle cannot be connected.
•A maximum of 80 devices can connect to a single SmartLogger, such as inverters, Smart
Power sensor, and EMI. You are advised to connect fewer than 30 devices to each RS485 route.
•The Smart Power Sensor is necessary for export limitation. Select the Smart Power Sensor
according to the actual project.
•To ensure the system response speed, the Smart Power Sensor is recommended to be
connected to a COM port separately from inverter COM port.
Smart Dongle Networking Scenario
•In the Smart Dongle networking scenario, the SmartLogger cannot be connected.
•The Smart Power Sensor is necessary for export limitation. Only the DTSU666-H Smart
Power Sensor (provided by Huawei) can be used.

•In areas (such as the UK) where the FusionSolar app is not available, or when a third-party
management system is used, only the SUN2000 app can be used for commissioning. This
document uses the FusionSolar app as an example to describe the commissioning method.
For the SUN2000 app, perform operations as required.
•Search for "SUN2000" in Huawei AppGallery, download the latest installation package, and
install the SUN2000 app by following the instructions. The SUN2000 app version should be
3.2.00.005 (Android) or later.

Search for FusionSolar in Google Play or scan the corresponding QR code, download the latest
installation package.
•The screenshots are for reference only. The actual screens prevail.
•Obtain the initial password for connecting to the solar inverter WLAN from the label on the
side of the solar inverter.
•To ensure account security, change the password periodically and keep the new password in
mind. Not changing the password may cause password disclosure. A password left
unchanged for a long period of time may be stolen or cracked. If a password is lost, devices
cannot be accessed. In these cases, the user is liable for any loss caused to the PV plant.
•Before maintaining the optimizers and PV strings, turn off the AC switch and set the DC
switch to OFF. Otherwise, the PV strings may be energized, resulting in electric shocks.
