1. SAFETY
1.1 General
page : 1
Place the Inverter in a room with proper ventilation and safe distance. All
ventilation apertures must be kept free and clean. Refer to manual to Perform
Installation.
2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Receipt of System
When the INVERTER is received, please carry out visual check for any damage
during transport.
Please immediately contact Service person, Dealer or Transport
agency for following conditions occur:
- any damage observed, either external or internal.
- any accessory is missing or damaged.
page : 2
2.3 Electrical Connection
Keep the Battery,Panel,Grid Input & Output MCBs in "OFF" position during
installation.
Connect Grid Input, Array & Battery supply to PCU.
Ensure the correctness of the battery & Solar Panel Array supply polarity.
Ensure proper earthing of the equipment.
Connect load cables.
For Array readily accessible disconnection device (MCB/MCCB) shall be
incorporated in the distribution.
After complete installation to power up system switch ON the Batt. MCB,
for battery voltage ≥96V Press push to ON switch for 10sec to charge the
capacitor before switch on the battery MCB
Switch ON the SPV MCB, after 30 sec. Solar Charging will be start.
Press the Reset Switch to Inverter ON. After switch ON the Output MCB
Load will be run on Inverter Output
After Connecting Mains Supply switch ON the GRID MCB
2.4 STORAGE
When the System is not installed immediately, it must be stored carefully in vertical
position, as indicated on the packing and conserved in a dry and sheltered room.
Cover it with an envelope so that it is protected from dust.
If the period of Inverter installation is over 6 months, be sure to charge batteries for
at least 8 hours before the first use.
