■Wire Connections
■ AC(Grid) Wiring
Caution!
For safety purposes, place an independent circuit breaker
between inverter and grid BEFORE all connections. Make sure
inverter will be safely disconnected from the grid in all
circumstances.
It is recommended to use certified 250V/30A circuit breakers.
Note on Cable Selection
It is recommended to use solid cables to ensure steadfastness of
cables on terminal block. If stranded wires are used, apply core-
end materials enclosed in accessory kit for all sakes.
■ RS485 & RJ45 Connections
■ DC (PV) Wiring
Be Sure to SWITCH OFF PV
Direct pull-off of DC plugs can lead to sparks. Be sure to switch
off PV before hand.
2. Use either connector
a. Wieland PST40i1C (Preferred)
b. Multi-Contact MC4
3. Connect to PV, After all the associated cables and connectors have been
prepared
4. Remove sealing plugs as depicted on right
5. Plug in PV cables gently as depicted below

■ Choosing Proper Installation Site
Remind!
1. Using the 600Vdc/20A x 2(trackers) circuit breaker between
PV Module with PV Inverter.
2. Only non-grounding PV module is applicable, user is
suggested to consult with system installer for PV module
type selection.
3. Require PV modules that have IEC 61730 class A rating.

〇Browsing Inverter Web Page（ES-Series）
■ Basics
Inverter has a built-in and multi-functional web page that user can access via LAN/
WLAN. The recommended web browsers are Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.
Follow the steps below to explore the inverter web page.
1. Make sure you have successfully connected inverter to a LAN by either Ethernet
or Wi-Fi.
2. Tap button to switch to “Operation Frame” to read off the inverter’s IP address.
3. Open a web browser on your desktop/laptop, key in the IP address you have
read previously at the address bar
4. Daily graphs will load soon after.
〇Network and Internet（ES-Series）
■ Accessing Inverter via LAN (Local Area Network)
The illustration above demonstrates how to access the inverter via Internet. Similar
to LAN, the inverter can be accessed by web browser. However, there is usually a
firewall that would block direct access of the LAN from the Internet. In order to
overcome this, you will need to set up NAT (Network Address Translation) or Port
Forwarding of the router. For detailed information, please refer to the manual
provided by your router supplier.

■ Address Setup(ES-Series)
To do this setting, use the address rotary switch shown on right. For a
single inverter, set the position to “1”; for multiple inverters, please assign
them different positions with no duplications. Since only 15 positions (1~F)
are available, the maximum number of inverters that can be grouped at a
time in a RS485 bus is 15.
■ Setting the Terminal Resistor
As shown on right, “ON” indicates a resistor is added. ONLY the
terminal-end inverter (last inverter of the row) should have this switch
set to “ON”. Switches of the other inverters should be set as “OFF.”

4. Wait for stronger sunlight.
Error on display
1. Check PV module installation.
2. Check the PV module is damaged or sheltered.
3. Ensure inverter is not in direct sun light.
4. Remove all objects on inverter.
5. Check the setting space of each inverter.
6. Check inverter’s ambient temperature and coiling condition.
Generated power
less than expected
Refer to error table in Error Frame section.
1. Error other than “C#”: Check the error message and take
suitable action.
2. “C#” Error: Switch off the AC breaker then the DC breaker.
Switch on the DC breaker then the AC breaker again.
3. If “C#” error persists, call your local service provider for
assistance.
1. Check AC connection segments such as fuses, breakers and
wires. Be sure AC is connected to inverter properly.
2. Switch AC off and on again.
■ Troubleshooting
In cases where an inverter detects a problem, an error message may be conveyed
by the system. Use the table below to resolve accordingly. If the problem persists,
contact your local service provider for further assistance.
〇Maintenance
Go to http://mypowermanager.net to download the user manual of cloud and
register your user account to set up your inverters for cloud monitoring.
1. Connect T/R+ and T/R- of RS485 converter to the T/R1+ and T/R1- of the data logger
respectively.
2. Between two data loggers, match T/R2+ and T/R2- of this inverter to T/R1+ and T/R1-
of the next inverter.
3. Set terminal resistor switch “ON” of the terminal-end inverter (last data logger of the row)
only. The others’ should be set as “OFF.”
4. Connect data logger and router of RJ45 Cable.
