Notice

u This user manual is used to install and maintain GNE

power optimizer models Honeybee 350/400, Honeybee
700/800, PV monitor model Scouter350/450 and data
processing devices.

u No permission to disassemble and repair the products

to ensure the safety of personnel. For services, please
look for trained or qualified professionals.

u Before installing and using the power optimizers,

please familiarize yourself with all the tips and warnings
on the products, as well as the safety instructions and
other applicable safety guidelines in the inver ter
manual and the PV module installation instructions.

u To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install the

power optimizers in strict acco rda nce with loca l
electrical standards and codes.

u Before installing the optimization and monitoring

products, please remove all metal accessories that you
wear to reduce the risk of touching live circuits. It is
strictly forbidden to install and debug in bad weather.

u Do n o t c o nnec t or d isc o n nec t th e GNE powe r

optimizers and montoring products under load. There
is also a risk of electric shock when shutting down the
inverter or the GNE products. After disconnecting all
power supplies, the capacitor inside the inverter can
continue to charge for a few minutes. Before measuring
the line, first measure the voltage at the inverter and
confirm that the capacitor is no longer charged.

u I n s t a l la tion must be perf o r m e d b y a t r a i n e d

professional. GNE is not liable for any loss or damage
caused by improper operation, discomfort or misuse of

services, please make sure that the data aggregation
device Beehive is powered on and the internet is fine,
and optimizers work in power-on status, then check the
current, voltage and power of the PV series.

2. Register MACID of GNE models

①. Plan the installation location of each

power optimizer or PV module
monitor

②. Take the power optimizer or PV module
monitor and write down the 8-digit MACID
number on the pl ant map, or string li st, or
construction drawing. And write down the 8-digit
MACID number of Swarm and Beehive.
