3. Overview 4. Installation
3.1 Front Panel Display 4.1 Select a Location for the Inverter
To select a location for the inverter, the following criteria should be considered:
Do not install in small closed spaces where air can not circulate freely. To avoid
overheating, always make sure the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked.
Exposure to direct sunlight will increase the operational temperature of the inverter and
may cause output power limiting. Ginlong recommends inverter installed to avoid
direct sunlight or raining.
Figure 3.1 Front Panel Display To avoid over heating ambient air temperature must be considered when choosing the
inverter installation location. Ginlong recommends using a sun shade minimizing direct

3.3 Keypad
There are four keys in the front panel of the Inverter(from left to right):
ESC, UP, DOWN and ENTER keys. The keypad is used for:
Scrolling through the displayed options (the UP and DOWN keys);
Access to modify the adjustable settings (the ESC and ENTER keys).

4.2 Mounting the Inverter
Dimensions of wall bracket:
Install vertically with a maximum incline of +/- 5°.If the mounted inverter is tilted to an
angle greater than the maximum noted, heat dissipation can be inhibited, and may
result in less than expected output power.
When 1 or more inverters are installed in one location, a minimum 12inchs clearance
should be kept between each inverter or other object. The bottom of the inverter should
be 20inchs clearance to the ground.

If DC inputs are accidently reversely connected or inverter is faulty or not
working properly, it is NOT allowed to turn off the DC switch. Otherwise it may
cause DC arc and damage the inverter or even lead to a fire disaster. The steps to assemble the AC grid terminal connectors are listed as follows:
The correct actions are: 1. Flee the sleeve into the cable.
*Use a clip-on ammeter to measure the DC string current.
*If it is above 0.5A, please wait for the solar irradiance reduces until the
current decreases to below 0.5A.
*Only after the current is below 0.5A, you are allowed to turn off the DC
switches and disconnect the PV strings.
* In order to completely eliminate the possibility of failure, please disconnect
the PV strings after turning off the DC switch to aviod secondary failures due
to continuous PV energy on the next day.
Please note that any damages due to wrong operations are not covered in
the device warranty.
