2 Safety Precaution

Notice
The inverters are designed and tested strictly complies with related safety rules. Read and follow all the safety instructions and cautions before any operations. Improper operation might cause personal injury or property damage as the inverters are electrical equipment.

General Safety
Notice
· The information in this document is subject to change due to product updates or other reasons. This manual cannot replace the product labels or the safety precaution unless otherwise specified. All descriptions here are for guidance only.
· Before installations, read through the user manual to learn about the product and the precautions.
· All installations should be performed by trained and knowledgeable technicians who are familiar with local standards and safety regulations.
· Use insulating tools and wear personal protective equipment when operating the equipment to ensure personal safety. Wear anti-static gloves, cloths, and wrist strips when touching electron devices to protect the inverter from damage.
· Strictly follow the installation, operation, and configuration instructions in this manual. The manufacturer shall not be liable for equipment damage or personal injury if you do not follow the instructions. For more warranty details, visit www.gesolarinverter.com.
22 DC Side

DANGER
Connect the DC cables using the delivered DC connectors and terminals. The manufacturer shall not be liable for the equipment damage if other connectors or terminals are used.

WARNING
· Ensure the component frames and the bracket system are securely grounded. · Ensure the DC cables are connected tightly and securely. · Measure the DC cable using the multimeter to avoid reverse polarity connection. Also, the
voltage should be under the permissible range. · The PV modules used with the inverter must have an IEC61730 class A rating. · If there are more than 3 PV strings on input side, an additional fuse installation will be
suggested. · When exposed to sunlight, the PV array will generate very high voltage which can cause
electrical shock hazard. Please strictly follow the instruction we provided.

User Manual V1.1-2022-08-01

23 AC Side

521 Moving the Inverter
CAUTION Move the inverter to the site before installation. Follow the instructions below to avoid personal injury or equipment damage. 1. Consider the weight of the equipment before moving it. Assign enough personnel to move
the equipment to avoid personal injury. 2. Wear safety gloves to avoid personal injury. 3. Keep balance when moving the equipment.

522 Installing the Inverter
NOTICE
· Avoid the water pipes and cables buried in the wall when drilling holes. · Wear goggles and a dust mask to prevent the dust from being inhaled or contacting eyes
when drilling holes. · The anti-theft lock of appropriate size should be prepared by customers. Diameter of the
lock hole is 10mm. · Make sure that all the DC input terminals are inside the PV box when installing the box.
Install the box cling to the bottom of the inverter.

Step 1 Put the mounting plate on the wall horizontally and mark positions for drilling holes. Step 2 Drill holes to a depth of 80mm using the hammer drill. The diameter of the drill bit should be 10mm. Step 3 Secure the mounting plate using the expansion bolts. Step 4 Install the inverter on the mounting plate. Step 5 Tighten the nuts to secure the mounting plate and the inverter. Step 6 Install the anti-theft lock. Step 7 (For Australia only) Install the PV box and the PV box mounting plate together using the delivered M5 screws. Step 8 (For Australia only) Drill holes to a depth of 60mm using the hammer drill.

Power Off the Inverter

Product Introduction
· Power off the inverter before operations and maintenance. Otherwise, the inverter may be damaged or electric shocks may occur.
· Delayed discharge. Wait until the components are discharged after power off.

Step 1 (optional) Send shutdown command to the inverter, Step 2 Turn off the AC switch between the inverter and the utility grid. Step 3 Turn off the DC switch of the inverter. Step 4 (optional) Turn off the DC switch between the inverter and the PV string.
92 Removing the Inverter
WARNING · Make sure that the inverter is powered off. · Wear proper PPE before any operations.
Step 1 Disconnect all the cables, including DC cables, AC cables, communication cables, the communication module, and PE cables. Step 2 Remove the inverter from the mounting plate. Step 3 Remove the mounting plate. Step 4 Store the inverter properly. If the inverter needs to be used later, ensure that the storage conditions meet the requirements.
93 Disposing of the Inverter
If the inverter cannot work any more, dispose of it according to the local disposal requirements for electrical equipment waste. Do not dispose of it as household waste.

94 Troubleshooting
Perform troubleshooting according to the following methods. Contact the after- sales service if these methods do not work. Collect the information below before contacting the after-sales service, so tha the problems can be solved quickly. 1. Inverter information like serial number, software version, installation date, fault time, fault
frequency, etc. 2. Installation environment, including weather conditions, whether the PV modules are
sheltered or shadowed, etc. It is recommended to provide some photos and videos to assist in analyzing the problem. 3. Utility grid situation.

Contact after-sales service to upgrade the software.

1. Utility grid power failure.
2. The AC circuit or the AC breaker is disconnected.

1. Check whether other electrical devices under the same grid connection point is working normally and whether the main supply is normal.
2. Make sure that the upstream switches of the inverter are connected.
3. Make sure that the phase sequence of the AC cables are connected correctly, and the neutral wire and PE cable are connected properly and firmly.

The utility grid voltage is out of the allowed range.

1. Make sure that the grid voltage is within the allowed range.
2. Make sure that the phase sequence of the AC cables are connected correctly, and the neutral wire and PE cable are connected properly and firmly.

The utility grid frequency is out of the allowed range.

1. Check whether other electrical devices under the same grid connection point is working normally, and whether the main supply is normal.
2. Make sure that the grid frequency is within the allowed range.
3. Make sure that the phase sequence of the AC cables are connected correctly, and the neutral wire and PE cable are connected properly and firmly.
4. Pay attention to the frequency of the fault. If it happens occasionally, the fault may be caused by the instantaneous utility grid frequency change and does not need to be handled.
