Grid connection

  1. Select the appropriate OT terminal and 70~240 mm² copper cable

  2. Use wire stripper to strip the insulation layer of the AC cable end.

  3. The stripped insulation layer shall be 2-3mm longer than “D” part of OT terminal as shown below.
    Note : The “Delta Grid” in “Setting”-”Grid Protection”- “FunctionChoose” is set as “Enable” in default.
    In this condition, the Neutral wire is not required to be connected.
    Please set “Delta Grid” to “Disable” before connecting the Neutral wire for 40 kW-70 kW / 80 kW-125 kW inverter.

  4. SOLAX-POWER-X3-Forth-Solar-Power-Inverter-image08Pull the heat-shrink tubing over AC cable.

  5. Insert the stripped section into OT terminal and crimp with crimping tool.

  6. Pull the heat-shrink tubing over the crimped section of OT terminal.

  7. Use hot air blower to shrink it so that they are in firm contact with OT terminal.

  8. SOLAX-POWER-X3-Forth-Solar-Power-Inverter-image09Un-install the screws on the cover to open the cover of the wiring box.

  9. Use utility knife to cut out the pagoda type protection ring in accordance with the whole cable size,

  10. Put the AC cable through the pagoda protection ring, and connect it to the AC terminals L1, L2, L3 and N in turn, and tighten it with torque wrench (with the torque of 25-30 N·m).

  11. Re-install the cover of wiring box with the torque of 5~7 N·m.

Monitoring connection

  • Monitoring Cloud is an application that can communicate with the inverter via Wi-Fi/LAN/4G. It can realize alarm query, parameter configuration, daily maintenance and other functions. This is a convenient maintenance platform.

  • Plug Dongle into “USB” port at the bottom of the inverter. After the DC side or AC side is powered on, the APP and inverter can be connected. Please refer to the corresponding manual for details.

  • Wi-Fi connection
    WiFi dongle connects to a local network within 50 m of the installation to enable access to the Monitoring Cloud platform.

  • LAN connection
    If Wi-Fi isn’t suitable, the LAN dongle enables users to connect to the network via an ethernet cable. Ethernet allows for a much more stable connection with less interference.

Monitoring connection

4G connection
4G dongle allows you to use a 4G connection to monitor your system without the option of connecting to a local network. (This product is not available in the UK)

  • Basic setting
    Basic settings can set the time, date and language.

  • Advanced setting
    Advanced settings can set “Safety”, “System Switch”, “PVConnection”, “Active Power Control”, “Export Control”, “Reactive Power Control”, “Grid Voltage Parameters” “Grid Frequency Parameters”, “Grid Through Parameters”, “Check Parameters”, “Reset”, “Communication Parameters” and “New Password”.
