OLUTION

 

Switch off the Ilumen PID Control Box. Disconnect the Ilumen PID Control Box from the AC grid. 
Wait for minimum 20 minutes. Make sure the AC cannot be plugged in again. Disconnect the DC 
switch from the inverter and wait until it is discharged. Disconnect the Ilumen PID Box 
communication line first. Disconnect all DC connectors going to the PV arrays and then 
disconnect the lines going to the inverter. When all electrical connections are disconnected you 
can dismount the Ilumen PID Boxes and the Ilumen PID Control Box. 

The Ilumen PID Control Box may never be moved to another geographic location before 
approval of Ilumen.

 CONNECTION

 

In case of a bad connection with the my.ilumen.be portal you should check following things: 

 

Is the Ilumen PID Control Box properly connected to the AC grid? 

 

Is the power button of the Ilumen PID Control Box switched on? 

 

Has the location of the Ilumen PID Control Box a good GPRS connection (at least 2G GSM 
reception)? 

 

Try to install it on a position with better GPRS connection? 

 

Try to mount the antenna for an optimal connection? 

 

Are there any appliances in the neighborhood that can disturb the signal?

 REGENERATION

 

If the modules are not regenerating or not regenerating fast enough you should check following 
things: 

 

Is the Ilumen PID Control Box is properly connected to the AC grid? 

 

Is the power button of the Ilumen PID Control Box switched on? 

 

Are the Ilumen PID Boxes connected correctly? 

 

Is the communication cable connected correctly? 

 

Let an expert check that the problem you have with the yield is caused by PID? 

 

Control the grounding of the system if necessary you should place additional 
interconnections.
