Step 2.
Positioning
The BlackMax is designed to be a freestanding
weatherproof system (suitable for wet locations).
However, we strongly recommend it to be placed close
(300mm) to a wall in a shaded area to reduce the chances
of overheating. It should also be placed as close as
possible to the solar panels and MSB to minimise voltage
drop/power loss (<10m).
Cooling air flow passes up through the base of the system
and then out the top left-hand side.
Do not block the air vents otherwise the system will
overheat and shutdown. Once the system cools down
again it can be restarted. The flow of air is assisted by an
electric fan connected to one of the rear vents. It is
controlled by an adjustable temperature switch set to
30
⁰
C in the factory.
•
Allow 60cm spacing on both sides of the system.
With the help of a hand trolley, you can roll the system into
place and secure it to the floor.
The BlackMax has four holes in the base to allow for
securing. This can be done with dynabolts or material
appropriate screws.
Step 3.
Solar Install
The PV Array should be designed and installed in accordance with AS/NZS
5033 and the latest CEC Installation guidelines. Caution should be taken in
selecting PV panels and wiring method to ensure Open Circuit Voltage (V
OC
)
and Short Circuit Current (I
SC
) is not exceeded.
Installation
BlackMax Minimum Clearance
According to AS/NZS 5139
WARNING: The Solar DC Isolator on the BlackMax must be in the off position
before any solar panels are connected
PV array must be floating (must not be grounded)
Ensure that the array is within the inverter specification and polarity
of the array is correct.
PV modules must have an IEC61730 Class A rating
