Installation Manual Ilumen PID Box & Ilumen PID Control Box
Attention:
If you work with inverters with multiple MPPT’s, you cannot mix the PV arrays from
multiple MPPT’s. Standard rule throughout the installation is one Ilumen PID Box for each
MPPT.
Attention:
The maximum current that can passthrough the Ilumen PID Box is 34A. Make sure this is
never exceeded.
Attention:
Make sure the PV arrays are connected to the “PV+” and “PV-“ cables of the Ilumen PID
Box, NEVER to the “+” or “-“ cables.

OX SERIES CONNECTION
Connect the 4-pole male connector of the first Ilumen PID Box to the 4-pole female connector of
the Ilumen PID Control Box. Following you can connect up to 100 Ilumen PID Boxes in total in a
series chain by mating each 4-pole female connector from the last chained to the 4-pole male
connector of the one your adding. The end of the chain must be sealed by you in a non-
conductive and weather resistant manner (e.g. by a terminator plug). Make sure the connections
are screwed properly and tightly to insure the connection and the weather resistance.
