6.1 Commission the Inverter

1 ) Remove all covers from the PV array.

2) Check the PV and AC voltage.

3 ) Plug in the PV input.

4 ) Turn on the DC switch.

                                      

5 ) If  the  inverter  is  connected  with  PV  panel  arrays  and  the  input  voltage  is  higher 
than  250Vdc,  while  the  AC  grid  is  not  connected  yet,  LCD  will  display  messages  in 
order as below:

Company info

 → 

Basic info 

 → 

State info

The LCD will display “ AC V outrange “at State info and the LED turns red.

Please  check  all  information  on  the  LCD,  operate  by  knocks  you  will  see  the 

different parameters.

Single knock to Light the backlight

  →  

State info (single knock) Input info    

  →    

(single knock) Output info   

6)  Turn  on  the  AC  breaker  between  inverter  and  grid,  the  system  will  operate 
automatically.

7)  Under  normal  operating  conditions,  the  LCD  displays  ‘Power:  xx.xx  Kw’  at  State 
info, this is the power feed into grid. The LED turns green.

8) Check the time and date of inverter as follow:

Single knock to Light the backlight 

 → 

State info (Thrice knock) 

 → 

 Inverter info 

(single  knock) 

  →  

System  Time(double  knock),  if  they  are  not  correct,  please  set 

them,  refer  to  refer  to  6.3.4  setting  inverter  time  or  6.4.3  text  line  d

setting  date 

and time.

9) Finish commissioning.

6.2 Operation Modes

Normal Mode

In this mode, the inverter works normally and LED turns green.

Whenever the DC voltage is higher than 300Vdc, inverter converts power to grid as 

generated by the PV panels;

Whenever the DC voltage is lower than 250Vdc, the inverter will work in waiting 

state  and  attempt  to  connect  the  grid.  In  waiting  state  the  inverter  consumes  just 
enough power generated by the PV panel to monitor the internal system.

Notes:  The  inverter  starts  up  automatically  when  DC  power  from  the  PV  panel  is 
sufficient.

Fault Mode

The  internal  intelligent  controller  can  continuously  monitor  and  adjust  the  system 
state.  If  inverter  finds  any  unexpected  conditions  such  as  system  fault  and  inverter 
fault, the fault information will be displayed on the LCD. In fault mode the LED turns 
red.

Notes: a) Detailed fault information refers to Chapter 9.1 ERROR messages displayed 
on LCD.

  b) When PV Isolation error occurred in SAA safety standard, the buzzer will give an 
alarm every fifteen seconds.

Shutdown Mode

Inverters  automatically  stop  running  during  periods  of  little  or  no  sunlight.  In 
shutdown mode the inverters take no power from the grid and panel, and the LCD 
and LED turns off.

Notes: If the PV string DC voltage is too low, the inverter will also turn to Shutdown 
Mode.

Derating mode

When  AC  frequency  is  higher  than  50.3Hz(settable),  the  inverter  will  derate  its 
output power according to the rule. 

When user set the output limit command to the inverter, the inverter will also limit 
the output according to the setting.

In this derating mode, the LCD will show “DERATING”.
