5. Start & Stop
5.1 Start the Inverter
To start up the Inverter, it is important that the following steps are strictly followed:
1. Switch the Solar Supply Main Switch (AC) ON first.
2. Switch the DC Isolator ON. If the voltage of PV arrays are higher than start up voltage,
the inverter will turn on. The red LED power will light, and the LCD shows the company's
name and the inverter model.

3. When both the DC and the AC grid sides supply to the inverter, it will be ready to
generate power. Initially, the inverter will check both its internal parameters and the
parameters of the AC grid, to ensure that they are within the acceptable limits. At the
same time, the green LED will flash and the LCD displays the information of
INITIALIZING.
4. After 30-180 seconds (depending on local requirement), the inverter will start to
generate power. The green LED will be on continually and the LCD displays
GENERATING.
WARNING:
Do not touch the surface when the inverter is operating. It may be
hot and cause burns.
5.2 Stop the Inverter
To stop the Inverter, the following steps must be strictly followed:
1. Switch the Solar Supply Main Switch (AC) OFF.
2. Wait 30 seconds. Switch the solar panel DC Isolator OFF. All the LEDs of the inverter will
be off in a minute.
