- Connect all the strings included in the design of the system and always check the tightness of the connectors

 

- If some of the string inputs should not be used you must proceed to verify the presence of covers on DC input 

connectors and then install them should they be absent: this operation is necessary for the tightness of the inverter 
and to avoid damaging the free connector that could be used at a later date.

The inverter commissioning procedure is as follows:

 

- Switch the integrated switch

 (version –S) to the ON position or close the external switches: If the input voltage applied to one of the two input channels is 

greater than the minimum starting voltage, the inverter will start up.

- With the inverter in “Missing Grid” status, close the AC switch downstream the inverter so as to supply the grid voltage to the inverter: the inverter performs 

the grid voltage check, measures the photovoltaic generator insulation resistance against earth and carries out other self-diagnosis checks. During the

- If the preliminary checks for parallel connection to the grid are successful, the inverter connects to the grid and begins to export power to the grid. At this 

stage, the display shows the inverter’s parameters in cycles. The green LED stays lit whereas the others are off.
