under any condition! Make sure the maximum open circuit voltage (Voc) 
of  each  PV  string  is  less  than  450  VDC  for  Growatt  1000,Sunglod 
1000,The length of input wire must be less than30m.

Use  H4  or  MC4  (Multi-contact)  connectors  for  PV  array  terminals.  Make 
sure DC switch is off before connecting.

Connect the positive negative terminals from the PV panel to positive (+) 
terminals and negative (-) terminals on the PV-Inverter. Each DC terminal 
on Inverter can withstand 20ADC.

Before  connecting  PV  panels  to  DC  terminals,  please  make  sure  the 
polarity  is  correct.    Incorrect  polarity  connection  could  permanently 
damage the unit. Checks short-circuit current of the PV string. The total 
short-circuit  current  of  the  PV  string  should  be  less  than  the  inverter’s 
maximum DC current.

High  voltages  exist  when  the  PV  panel  is  exposed  to  the  sun  .To  reduce 
risk  of  electric  shock,  avoid  touching  live  components  and  treat 
connection terminals carefully.

2.5.1 Country selecting

When  the  PV  panels  are  connected  and  their  output  voltage  is  greater  than  70Vdc 
but the AC grid is not yet connected, inverter will start up automatically. If it is the 
first time to power on the inverter after installation, you may need to select a specific 
country*  .Otherwise,  the  interface  will  stay  at  the  ‘Please  Select’  interface  all  the 
time. There are eleven options to select, as the list below.

Note:

 1.If the country you want to select is not in the above list, please directly select

VDE0126-1-1.

2.The inverter can only be used for single grid-connected in the area where CEI 0-21 
and VDE-AR-N4105 are requested to accord. 

Please finish the country selecting according to the following steps:

The  LCD  will  quickly  switch  to  and  stay  at  the  ‘Please  select’  interface 
after power on, as Fig 2-5-1.

Single  knock  on  the  LCD,  countries  will  vary  from  one  to  another  along 
the  above  list  order.  Fig  2-5-2  acts  as  an  example,  and  Germany  is  the 
second selection.
