Don't disconnect the DC connector while the inverter is connected to the
grid.
Before turning the inverter on, please make sure the PV/Battery input voltage and current
are within the MPPT limits.
Follow the steps below to turn the inverter on:
1.Gently pull the cables on the PV/AC/Battery side back to ensure that they are securely
connected.
2.Make sure the cable polarity is correct and voltage is less than 1100V.
3.Switch on the built-in DC switch at the bottom of the inverter.
4.Switch on the PV/Battery Array and DC isolator next to your inverter. If the switch is not
available, skip this step.
5.Switch on the Solar AC isolator if the inverter is more than 3 meters away from your
switchboard.
6.Switch on the solar supply main switch in the switch board.
12.1 Powering on the inverter
12.2 Powering off the inverter
Steps to turn off the inverter:
1. Disconnect the AC circuit breaker to secure it against reconnection;
2. Turn off the DC switch;
3. Turn off the BAT input switch;
4. Check the operating status of the inverter;
5. Wait until the LED and OLED display are off, indicating that the inverter is completely
powered off.

11 Maintenance and cleaning
11.1 Checking the heat dissipation
11.2 Checking the inverter
11.3 Checking the DC disconnect
For reduction in power output due to high temperature, you are advised to clean the
heat sink to improve heat dissipation.
Before cleaning a dirty inverter, turn off the AC breaker and the DC switch, and wait
until the inverter completely shuts down. Clean the enclosure lid, the display and the
LED indicators with a cloth moistened with clear water. Do not use any cleaning agents,
such as solvents and abrasives, which may cause damage to the equipment and its
components.
To ensure safe operation of the system, it is recommended to periodically check the DC
disconnect and the cables for any visible damage or discoloration. If any damage or
discoloration is found, please contact your installer.
Ø To extend the service life of the DC disconnect, it is recommended to turn the rotary
switch from the ON position to the OFF position 5 times in a row once a year. This
will clean the contacts of the switch and ensure optimal performance.
Troubleshooting 13
13.1 Error message
