Communication

5.1 Communications software instructions

ShineNET  is  a  PC  software  that  communicates  with  Shine  Inverter  to  analyze  the 
inverter work state. It is convenient for you to know the inverter real time working 
state and the history work information.

Spec:

1.

Communicate with inverter by RS232 and Bluetooth.

2.

Construct  net  with  inverter,  GROmonitor  and  ShineNet  by  RS232,  Bluetooth 

and Internet.

3.

Two Interfaces: Multi Inverter Interface and Wave Data Interface.

4.

In Multi Inverter Interface: 9 inverters working data at the same time, you can 

select your own compare inverters and parameters.

5.

In  Wave  Data  Interface:  Query  the  inverter  real  time  and  history  power  wave, 

work data and error information.

6.

Multi  languages:  English,  Simple  Chinese,  French,  German,  Spanish  and  etc.         

Support OS: WinXP / Vista / win7 / 2000/ 2003

5.2 Monitor

After  setting  the  software  the  user  can  monitor  the  inverter.  The  right  side  of  the 
main interface is the detailed information of inverter.

5.3 Detailed information

Detailed setting method and other functions refer to “ShineNET Manual.” in the CD.

Trouble Shooting 

6

In  most  situations,  the  Inverter  requires  very  little  service.  However,  if  Inverter  is  not 
able  to  work  perfectly,  please  refer  to  the  following  instructions  before  calling  your 
local dealer.
Should any problems arise, the LED on the front panel will be red and the LCD displays 
the relevant information. Please refer to the following for a list of potential problems 
and their solutions.

SYSTEM FAULT

Ground I Fault

Isolation Fault

Grid Fault

1. The ground current is too high.
2. Unplug the inputs from the PV generator and check the peripheral AC system.
3. After the cause is cleared, re-plug the PV panel and check PV-Inverter status.
4. If the problem persists please call service.

1. Check the impedance is between PV (+) & PV (-) and the PV-Inverter is earthed. 
The impedance must be greater than 8M.
2. If the problem persists please call service.

1. Wait for 5 minutes, if the grid returns to normal, PV-Inverter automatically restarts.
2. Make sure grid voltage and frequency meet the specifications.
3. If the problem persists please call service.
4. Check grid usability.

No AC connection

1. Grid is not connected.
2. Check grid connection cables.

INVERTER FAILURE

PV Over Voltage

Consistent Fault

1.  Check  the  open  PV  voltage;  see  if  it  is  greater  than  or  too  close  to  500VDC.
2. If PV voltage is less than 500VDC, and the problem still occurs, please call local service.

1. Disconnect PV (+) or PV (-) from the input, restart the PV-Inverter.
2. If it does not work, call service.
If there is no display on the panel, please check PV-input connections. If the voltage is 

higher than 150V, call your local service.

During periods of little or no sunlight, the PV-Inverter may continuously start up and 

shut  down.  This  is  due  to  insufficient  power  generated  to  operate  the  control 

circuits.
