LECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
When installing the Ilumen PID Box Mini, the AC side of the PV plant must be switched off. Also
the DC switch of the inverter must be switched off. After the installation is done, you can switch
the DC switch back on followed by the AC side of the PV plant.
A standard EU outlet must be available on installation. This outlet should be on at all times. The
ideal solution is to have a single outlet with a single circuit breaker of 16A.

ARTH CONNECTION
To receive the best result, the frames of the solar modules must be connected to the earth
connector of the Ilumen PID Box Mini. For optimal result you must lay a solar cable (6mm
2
) to
the mounting structure of the solar modules (make sure mounting structures and frames of the
solar modules are electrically conducting). It is important that all frames of all solar modules are
at the earth potential, if necessary you have to interconnect the mounting structures with
additional cables.

OLAR ARRAY AND INVERTER
(MPPT)
CONNECTIONS
When installing the Ilumen PID Solution between the PV array and inverter always switch off the
DC switch of the inverter.
Always connect the PV arrays to the Ilumen Solution first. On the Ilumen PID Box Mini the “A in
+” plug should be connected to the positive side of the strings of the 1
st
MPPT and the “A in –“
