Important Safety Precautions
2.1 Disclaimer:
PROJOY assumes no responsibility for any loss, in particular for circuit
damage, resulting from any violation of the specifications recommended and
referred to in this specification. PROJOY assumes no responsibility for the
damage of the product caused by the maintenance, improper use, wrong
installatio,n or wrong system design of the product by non-designated
personnel.
2.2 Safety instructions:
- PEFS is an electrical product that should be installed by a suitable person who meets local regulations.
- When modifying an existing installation, isolate the inverter from the PV array by turning OFF the DC isolator/switch disconnect or turning OFF the inverter and the AC switch.
- Incorrect connections to the PEFS-24V-CN may cause failure.
2.3 Cautions:
If the inverter and PV module connectors are not compatible with PEFS
connectors, forced connections are unsafe and may cause operational problems.
For the mechanical compatibility of the module/converter and PEFS, use the
same connectors from the same manufacturer on both the PEFS and modules, or
obtain verification that the connectors to be used are compatible.
Introduction
Control Box includes Power Supply
-
PEFS-24V-C60
-
PEFS-24V-C180
Control Box External Power Supply
- PEFS-24V-C480
Installation & Connection
-
Open the box, take out PEFS-24V-CN and parts, read this manual.
-
Prepare materials and tools.
-
The installation modes of PEFS-24V-CN are divided into the following two situations.
Control Box includes Power Supply (Take PEFS-24V-C60 as an example)
a) Align the round hole of the L-shaped clasp with the round hole of the box
and fix them with screws.
b) Mount the control box to the appropriate location through the gourd-shaped hole.
c) Wring.
Control Box External Power Supply (PEFS-24V-C480)
a) Pull out the clasps to both sides.
b) Mount the control box to the appropriate location through the gourd-shaped hole.
c) Wiring
PEFS-24V-C480 does not have a power supply, so an external power supply is
required to power the control box.
Parallel connection of multiple control boxes
