6. OPERATION OF PV INVERTER 

 
 

 

6.1. Initialization for Regulation Type Setting 

 

The Inverter provides a 

“Select Safety” function at the first time start-up as a process in which user is able to 

select the intended language displayed and regulation type before starting normal operation. 
The Inverter will not able to operate normally before regulation setting is completed even though it is connected 
correctly at both DC input and AC output. 
 
 

This operation is very delicate, since due to problems of yield, it is possible to run only once. in case 
of error, you must contact Socomec  service center. 

 
 
At first time them, 
 

 

 
 
Will be given the opportunity to choose the country from several European countries,

 

 

 

 
 

Selecting them by using the arrows

” e “

”. Identified the country desired, press the "OK" key after which 

they will be asked to confirm acceptable again by pressing the "OK" key.
