Mounting Hole Size
Use a 10mm drill bit to drill a hole of 60mm depth.
Diagram Description: Shows dimensions for drilling mounting holes, indicating a 60mm depth and hole spacing.
Bottom of the Inverter
Some models may have a different number of DC inputs. Please refer to the datasheet, nameplate, or the actual product for details.
The bottom typically features:
- DC Switch (optional)
- RS485 communication port
- AC output terminals
- DC input terminals (may include CT/Meter and DRM connections)
If no PV string is connected to the DC input terminals, install the watertight cap onto the empty DC input terminals to guarantee the inverter's ingress protection rating.
Diagram Description: Illustrates the bottom panel of the inverter, showing various connection ports including DC inputs, RS485, and AC output.
Inverter Installation
Ensure the mounting bracket is horizontal. Use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten the expansion bolts.
Lift the inverter and hang it securely on the bracket.
Diagram Description: Depicts the process of mounting the inverter. It shows expansion screws and a bracket being used to secure the inverter unit.
DC Connector Wiring and Assembly
Use a wire crimper to fasten the metal connector to the cable (2.5-4mm² wire gauge). Insert the connector into the top of the MC4 connector. Use the MC4 special tool to fasten the MC4 assembly securely.
Diagram Description: Details the DC connector assembly. It shows preparing the cable, using a crimping plier, inserting the connector into an MC4 plug, and using a special tool for tightening. Polarity [positive terminal (+)] and [negative terminal (-)] are indicated.
Assemble the AC Cable
Strip the insulation sleeve of the cable to approximately 70mm, ensuring the copper-cored connectors have about 9mm exposed.
Lead the cables through the nut and sleeve. Insert the corresponding terminals (L1, L2, L3, N, PE) and tighten with an Allen wrench. The recommended torque value is 1.8-2.0 N.m.
Clip the plastic fixture into the socket element and tighten the adapter. Then, tighten the swivel nut with a torque of 3-4 N.m.
Connect the AC connector to the inverter until a slight clicking sound [click sound indicator] indicates a successful connection.
Diagram Description: Illustrates the assembly of the AC cable. It shows cable preparation, connector terminals (L1, L2, L3, N, PE), and the process of connecting the cable to the inverter, with a note on torque values and a click sound for confirmation.
External Ground Connection
An external ground connection point is provided on the right side of the inverter. Prepare OT terminals (M4 size). Use appropriate tooling to crimp the lug to the terminal.
Diagram Description: Shows the external ground connection point on the inverter, highlighting the use of an M4 terminal and a grounding screw.
Install the Datalogger
Note: Turn off the AC and DC circuits before installation.
- Insert the communication stick into the COM port.
- Rotate the black circle clockwise while pushing the datalogger (do not rotate the datalogger housing directly).
Diagram Description: Two-step process for installing the datalogger: inserting the communication stick and then pushing and rotating the datalogger unit.
Commissioning
- Switch on the AC breaker.
- Switch on the DC switch. If no DC switch is present, wait until the string voltage is higher than the inverter's startup voltage.
Once the string voltage is higher than the startup voltage, the inverter will initialize.
The inverter will perform a self-check, indicated by a flashing green LED.
After the self-check is complete, the inverter will start generating power. The green LED will become constantly on, and the LCD will display "Generating".
Completion
The initial installation is now complete.
You can use the Soliscloud APP to link the datalogger to your local router. Please refer to the datalogger installation manual for detailed configuration instructions.
