Usage Features
The Solis Hub-200A-US is designed for ease of installation and operation, offering several features that enhance its usability:
Mounting:
- Drill holes: Use the mounting bracket as a template to drill holes for the mounting bracket. Ensure suitable expansion bolts are used to fix the bracket onto the wall.
- Mounting the Hub: Hang the Solis Hub onto the mounting bracket.
- Secure the Hub: Use three screws to fasten the Solis Hub with the mounting bracket.
AC Incoming Supply Connection:
- Remove cover: Remove the AC connection cover at the top of the Solis Hub.
- Insert AC cables: Insert the AC cables into the Solis Hub.
- Connect wiring: Connect Grid L1 / Grid L2 / Neutral wire to the corresponding terminals.
Hybrid Inverter Connection:
- Conduit routing: Use six conduits on the left side of the Solis Hub to run the Solis hybrid inverter's AC Grid Cable and AC Backup Cable into the Solis Hub.
Load Connection:
- Load AC wires: Lead the load AC wires from the conduits on the right side or bottom of the Solis Hub.
- Connect smart load terminals: Connect the corresponding loads to the smart load terminals (Load 1 – Load 4) or the non-backup load terminal (Grid Load). Use a slotted screwdriver and insert the square port on the left side of the terminal, then insert the AC wire to the round port on the right side of the terminal. Release the screwdriver to fasten the wires.
- Connect neutral wire: Connect the load neutral wire to the neutral bar terminal.
Generator Connection:
- Bring AC cables: Bring the AC cables for the generator into the Solis Hub from the right side.
- Strip insulation: Strip 3/8 inch of insulation from the ends of each cable.
- Insert into terminal: Insert a technician screwdriver into the small hole on the wire terminal.
- Fasten terminal: Pull the screwdriver to the right side to fasten the terminal and then release the screwdriver.
- Test connection: Give the wire a gentle tug to ensure it is tight. If the wire feels loose, repeat steps 3-5.
Safety Features:
- Emergency stop switch: Allows for immediate shutdown of the system in case of an emergency.
- Overcurrent protection: Integrated fuses and circuit breakers protect against overcurrent conditions.
- Grounding: Proper grounding ensures electrical safety.
