Corrective action 

No leds visible 

Product does not work 

Make sure the DC-power supply is 
plugged into a AC-outlet. Also make 
sure the outlet is under tension. 

No leds visible 

Product does work and 
makes some clicking noises 

This can happen at dusk and dawn. LED 
should light up after a while. If not 
please contact iLumen technical service. 

Led gives other color 
than BLUE, GREEN, 
YELLOW, WHITE, 
CYAN, PURPLE or RED 

Product does not work 

Please contact iLumen technical service. 

No RED, YELLOW or 
PURPLE led during 
nighttime while during 
the day blue or 
cyanleds are burning 

Curing of the panels is not 
working 

This can have 3 reasons: 

 

PID is not present on PV-
modules(however the first night 
of regeneration the led must be 
on). 

 

Earth connection between 
PIDbox mini and the frame of 
the modules is interrupted 

 

PID is present but weather 
conditions do not allow a good 
regeneration. Watch the lights 
during the day. These should be 
blue or cyan. Than everything is 
ok.

 REGENERATION

 

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

 

Check the grounding of the system. If necessary you should place additional 
interconnections between the frames of the modules. 

 

Is the Ilumen PIDbox mini properly connected to the grid? 

 

Is the DC power supply properly connected (is its indication light burning)? 

 

Let an expert check if the problem you’re having with the yield is caused by PID 

 

Is there a surge protection unit installed? Check chapter6.2

ESETTING THE 

PID

BOX MINI

 

The PIDbox mini can simply be reset by unplugging the DC-power cable. Wait 10 seconds and 
connect the DC-power cable back to the PIDbox mini. 
 
If resetting does not help fixing your problem, please consult chapter 10.1 of this manual.
