2 Safety Instructions
2.1 Safety Precautions
1. All work on the Inverter must be carried out by qualified electricians. And ensure that children can
not access to the equipment.
2. The device may only be operated with PV generators. Do not connect any other sources of energy
to the device.
3. This PV generator and inverter must be connected to the ground in order to reach maximum
protection for property and persons.
4. Do not touch cover until 3 minutes after disconnecting all sources of supply. This is because the
charge stored in capacitors may result a risk of electric shock.
5. The enclosure of Inverter can become hot during operation. To reduce the risk of injury, do not

5
touch the cover, heat sink at the back of the PP-lnverter or nearby surfaces while Inverter is
operating.
6. Do not use the equipment for purposes other than those described in this manual.
7. Both the Inverter and associated transport packaging are mainly made of recyclable raw materials.
Please ensure that the used device and any relevant accessories are disposed of in accordance
with applicable regulations.
8. Packed with damping EPE and carton, Rotosol inverter should be placed upwards and handled
with care in delivery. Pay attention to waterproof.
9. Alternative uses, modifications to the inverter not recommended by Rotosol or the installation of
components not sold by Rotosol void the warranty claims.

4 Mounting
4.1 Safety
DANGER!
Danger to life due to potential fire or electric shock.
Do not install the Inverter near any inflammable or explosive items. The inverter will be directly connected
with high voltage power generation device. The installation must be performed by qualified personnel only
in compliance with national or local standards and regulations.
CAUTION!
Danger of burn injuries due to hot enclosure parts.
•Install the Inverter so that it cannot be touched inadvertently. Risk of injury due to the heavy weight
of the Inverter.
• Take the inverter's weight into account for mounting. (Weight of inverter refers to chapter 9.)

9
4.2 Selecting the Appropriate Mounting Location
Consider the following points when selecting where to install:
The mounting method and location must be suitable for the inverter's weight and dimensions.
The inverter must be installed in the solid walls ,such as brick walls or concrete walls in case of
vibration noise or inverter falling off.
The installation site should be clearly visible and can be safely into without aids such as scaffold.
For the convenience of checking the LCD display and possible maintenance activities, please
install the inverter at eye level.
The altitude of installation site should be below 2000m,more than 2000m above the sea level will
cause derating.
The ambient temperature of installation site should be between -20 °C and +55 °C (between -4 °F
and 131 °F).
Install the inverter directly exposing to strong sunshine is not recommended, the excess heating
might lead to power reduction.
Leave enough effective space around the inverter for better ventilation.
• Vertical installation, wiring area must be downside, lateral installation is not allowed; in backward
tilted installation, tilt angle should not exceed 30 degrees; Forward tilted, horizontal or inverted
installation is not allowed.

4.3 Mounting the Inverter with Wall Mounting Bracket
1. Use the wall mounting bracket mark the drilling position and drill the holes for the screws.
3. Hang the inverter to the mounting bracket and ensure the slot is fitted on the bracket.

11
4. Check to ensure the inverter is correctly seated. Make sure to lock it with the security screws. (See
the figure below.)
5 Electrical Connection
Notes:
1. Electrical installation & maintenance shall be conducted by licensed electrician and shall comply
with local Wiring Rules.
2. After the inverter has been installed in its fixed position, the electrical connection to the unit can be
established.
3. Make sure Max. Open Voltage and short-circuit current of the each PV strings accord with the Spec.
4. Choose the appropriate cable width for AC/DC wire. The cross sectional area of DC input conductor
lead should be 4mm2PV wire, that of AC output conductor should also be 4mm2cooper wire, and
that of external ground conductor should be 4mm2cooper wire.
5. On both sides of inverter to the grid and PV array, there must be between circuit breaker and
surge protector, and during inverter electrical connections, circuit breakers on both sides should be
disconnected to prevent electric shock.
6. Before connecting the inverter to PV arrays and public grid, make sure the polarity is correct.

Please note that the sizes of metal connecting tubes are different. The bigger one is for female connector
and the smaller one is for male connector.
Assembly Instructions:
♦Prepare the DC wire to connect the positive and negative DC arrays. Stripping length is 12~15mm,
sectional area is 4 mm2as below.

♦ Insert the DC wire to metal connecting tube. Make sure all line heads are in the connecting tube as
picture blow.
♦ Use crimping pliers to fasten the metal connecting tube and copper wire. Make sure the harness will not
fall off, see picture below.

♦ Insert the assembled cable into male/female connector. A "chick" sound can be heard when
