6.2 Op eration Mo des

Normal Mod e

In this mode, the inverter works normally and LED turn s green. Whenever the DC voltage is higher than 200Vdc, inverter converts power to grid Whenever the DC voltage is lower than 180Vdc, the inverter will work in waiting status and attempt to connect the grid. In waiting state the inverter consumes

just power generated by the PV panel to monitor the intern al s ys te m. Notes: The inverter starts up automatically when DC power fro m th e PV p an el i s suffi ci en t.

Fault Mode

The intern al i nt el li ge nt c on troller can continuously monitor and adjust the system status. If inverter finds any unexpected conditions such as system fault and inverter fault, the fault information will be displayed on the LCD. In fault mode the LED tur ns red .

Notes: a) Detailed fault information re fe rs t o Ch ap te r 9 Trou bl e sh oo ti ng . b) When PV Isolation erro r oc cu rr ed i n SA A sa fe ty s ta nd ard, the buzzer will give an alarm every fifteen seconds.
