The Ilumen PID Box is placed between the inverter and the solar array strings. The power of the
strings goes through the PID Box, entering on one side and leaving on the other.One Ilumen PID
Box can only be used for one MPP tracker. If you use multiple Ilumen PID Boxes you must couple
them together in series with the 4-pole connectors. Always terminate the last Ilumen PID Box 4-
pole connector in a non-conductive and weather resistant manner. The number of working
Ilumen PID Boxes can optionally be monitored through the Ilumen portal.
Attention:
If you work with inverters with multiple MPPT’s you cannot mix the PV arrays from
multiple MPPT’s.
Attention:
The maximum current that can pass through the Ilumen PID Box is 34A. Make sure this is
never exceeded.
Attention:
Make sure the PV arrays are connected to the “in” side of the Ilumen PID Box Mini, NEVER
to the “out”side.
