11 3. INST ALLA TION INSTRUCTIONS OPENING THE P ACKAGE After opening the package, please check the contents of the box. It should contain the following: 1. One Protect PV inverter 2. Instruction manual 3. One mounting frame 4. 4 mounting screws 5. 2 safety-lock screws 6. One AC socket assembly for Protect PV 2000 and 2800 BEFORE INST ALLA TION Befo[...]

12 MOUNTING PROTECT PV TO THE WALL 1. Select a wall or solid vertical surface that can support the PV -Inverter . 2. Protect PV requir es adequate cooling space. Allow at least 20cm space above and below the inverter . 3. Using the mounting frame as a template, drill 4 holes as illustrated in the following figures. 4. Fix the mounting frame as the[...]

13 6. Check the installation conditions a) Do not install the PV - Inverter on a slanted surface b) Check the upper straps of PV -Inverter and ensure it fits on to the bracket c) Insert safety-lock screws to the bottom leg to secure the inverter . Check the secure mounting of the PV -Inverter by trying to raise it from the bottom. The PV -Inverter[...]

14 CONNECTING TO THE GRID (AC UTILITY) 1. Measure grid (utility) voltage and frequency . It should be 230VAC or 220V AC), 50/60Hz, and single phase. 2. Switch off by breaker or fuse between PV -Inverter and utility . 3. For Protect PV 2000 and 800, connect AC wires as follows: • Disassemble female socket. • Connect AC wires to connection socket[...]

15 • Connect Phase to pin 1, Neutral to Pin 2 and PE to Pin • Assemble the socket again and attach. • T wist the coupling ring to the PV -Inverters receptacle. Make sure it is correctly matched. T o prevent risk of electric shock, ensur e that PE is properly grounded befor e operating the PV -Inverter . 4. Suggested wire-cr oss section or AC [...]

16 CONNECT TO PV P ANEL (DC INPUT) 1. Make sure the maximum open circuit voltage (V oc) of each PV string is less than 450VDC UNDER ANY CONDITION. W e recommend V oc less than 360VDC with ambient temperature of 25C. 2. Use MC 3 (Multi-contact) connectors for PV array terminals. 3. Connect the positive and negative terminals from the PV panel [...]

17 4. SYSTEM DIAGRAM The typical connection diagram for the entire PV system is shown in the following fi gure. 1. PV -Panel: Provide DC power to Pr otect PV inverter 2. Protect PV PV -Inverter Converts DC (Direct Curr ent) power from PV panel(s) to AC (Alternating Current) power . Because Protect PV is grid-connected it controls the curr ent ampl[...]

18 5. OPERA TING YOUR PV -INVERTER MODES OF OPERA TION There ar e 3 differ ent modes of operation. 1. Normal mode: In this mode, Protect PV works normally . Whenever the supplied power from PV panel is sufcient (voltage>150VDC), Protect PV converts power to the grid as generated by the PV panel. If the power is insufficient, (voltage<120V[...]

19 • Nor mal operation: When PV string DC voltage is greater than 150V , Protect PV operates in the normal state. In this state, it feeds power to the grid. Protect PV automatically stops when the PV power is not enough. a. Press the “Function” key repeatedly until “Contrast” shows in the display . b. Hold the “Function” key down for [...]

20 MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING (MPPT) A good PV inverter must be able to convert the maximum power from any PV panel. Due to its advanced design, Protect PV PV -Inverter can track the maximum power from your PV panel in any condition. When the displayed power on the LCD output does not change dramatically , Protect PV inverter is converting the ma[...]

21 6. INVERTER ST A TUS Protect PV is designed to be user -friendly; therefor e, the status of the Inverter can be easily understood by reading the information shown on the front panel display .

26 8. TROUBLE SHOOTING In most situations, the Protect PV inverter r equires very little service. However , if Protect PV is not able to work perfectly , please refer to the following instructions before calling your local AEG PS dealer . • Should any problems arise, the red (Fault) LED on the fr ont panel turns on and the LCD displays the releva[...]

27 • If there is no display on the panel, please check PV -input connections. If the voltage is higher than 150V , call your local service. • During periods of little or no sunlight, the PV -Inverter may continuously start up and shut down. This is due to insufficient power generated to operate the control cir cuits. Inverter Failure PV over V[...]
