3.5 Storage of Inverter 

If you want to storage the inverter in your warehouse, you should choose an appropriate location to 
store the inverter. 

 

The unit must be stored in original package and desiccant must be left in the package. 

 

The  storage  temperature  should be  always  between  -25

and  +60

. And the  storage relative 

humidity should be always between 0 and 95%. 

 

If there are lots of inverters need to be stored, the maximum layers for original carton is four. 

 

After  long term  storage,  local  installer or  service  department of  CyberPower  should perform  a 
comprehensive test before installation 

 

 

After long term storage, the Real Time Clock of the inverter maybe 

not  correct,  it  will  cause  the  Energy  produced  today  (E_day)  error, 

you need to  set the time  and date,  refer  to  Fig 6.3.15 or 6.4.3 text 

line.

 

3.6 The advantage of the CPS Mini Central inverters 

The features of CPS Mini Central series inverter are below: 

 

Dual independent MPP trackers 

 

Integrated DC disconnect switch 

 

Wide PV voltage range

300V~1000V 

 

The maximum efficiency is 98% 

 

The Europe efficiency is 97.5% 

 

IP65 environmental protection 

 

Easy to install
