HECK

 

Do a final check whether everything is properly mounted and connected (se

5

 and 

6

 for 

details): 

 

The PV frames are all connected to the same earth as the earth pin of the Ilumen PID Box 
Mini 

 

The PV and inverter DC cables are correctly connected 

 

Unused DC inputs and outputs are terminated with a corresponding sealing plug 

 

The DC side of DC power supply is correctly connected 

If all these points are installed correctly you can start up the Ilumen PID Box Mini.

OLUTION

 

The Ilumen PID Box Mini can only apply the Ilumen PID Solution in an automatic mode. To start 
up the Ilumen PID Box Mini, plug in the DC power supply into a standard EU outlet (This outlet 
must be on at all times). Next see if the LED light on the Ilumen PID Box Mini starts burning. 
After checking the system it will be switched on automatically. 

When the Ilumen PID Box Mini is hooked up correctly to the inverter you will see the following 
status LED readouts.

 

 

 

BLUE: device is switched on, is in standby mode, measures a voltage on the PV 
wires 

 

GREEN: device is switched on, is in standby mode, measures a current on the PV 
wires 

 

CYAN: BLUE & GREEN 

 

RED: device is switched on and cures the PV system 

 

It is normal for the LED to be out at the beginning and at the end of the night 

After start-up you may turn the DC switch of the inverter back on, followed by the AC side of the 
PV plant. 

The config button can be used to reinitialize the PID Solution if needed.
