2.3 Explanation of Symbols

This section gives an explanation of all the symbols shown on the inverter and on the

type label.

2.3.1 Symbols on the Inverter

2.3.2 Symbols on the Type Label

2.3.3 Important Safety Instructions

When using the product, please do remember the below information to avoid the fire,

lightning or other personal injury:

1. Before using the Hosola inverter, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the

Hosola inverter, and all appropriate sections of this guide.

2. Use only attachments recommended or sold by Hosola. Doing otherwise may result in

a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

Danger：

Danger to life due to high voltages in the inverter!

• All work on the inverter may be carried out by qualified personnel only.

• The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they

have been given supervision or instruction.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Caution：

Danger of burn injuries due to hot enclosure parts!

During operation, the upper lid of the enclosure and the enclosure body may

become hot.

• Only touch the lower enclosure lid during operation.

Warning:

Ensure input DC voltage ≤550V. Over voltage may cause

permanent damage to inverter or other losses, which will not be included

in warranty! This chapter contains important safety and operating

instructions. Read and keep this Operation Guide for future reference.

Warning:

Authorized service personnel must disconnect both AC and DC

power from the Hosola inverter before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or

working on any circuits connected to the Hosola inverter.

Caution：

Possible damage to health as a result of the effects of radiation!

• Do not stay closer than 20 cm to the inverter for any length of time.

Note：

Grounding the PV generator

Comply with the local requirements for grounding the PV modules and the PV

generator. Hosola recommends connecting the generator frame and other

electrically conductive surfaces in a manner which ensures continuous conduction

and ground these in order to have optimal protection of the system and personnel.

Symbol Explanation

Danger to life due to high voltages in the inverter!

There is residual voltage in the inverter. The inverter requires 5

minutes to discharge.

Wait 5 minutes before you open the upper lid or the DC lid.

Symbol Explanation

CE mark.

The inverter complies with the requirements of the applicable

CE guidelines.

Beware of hot surface.

The inverter can become hot during operation. Avoid contact

during operation.

3. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that existing wiring is in good

condition and that wire is not undersized. Do not operate the Hosola inverter with

damaged or substandard wiring.

4. Do not disassemble the Hosola inverter. It contains no user-serviceable parts. See

Warranty for instructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the Hosola inverter

yourself may result in a risk of electrical shock or fire and will void your warranty.

5. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, authorized service personnel must disconnect both

AC and DC power from the Hosola inverter before attempting any maintenance or

cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the Hosola inverter. Turning off controls

will not reduce this risk.

6. Keep away from flammable, explosive materials to avoid fire disaster.

7. The installation place should be away from humid or corrosive substance.

8. To avoid electric shock accident, please do not disassemble the inverter because inside

of inverter there are high-voltage capacitances installed. Fatal High-voltage will remain in

the inverter after its disconnection with grid after 5-10 minutes.

9. To reduce the chance of short-circuits, authorized service personnel must use insulated

tools when installing or working with this equipment.

Operation Mode

【Stand-by Mode】

The stand-by mode means that the inverter is ready to but still not connect to the grid.

Under this mode, it will continue check if PV array has enough power to feedback into grid.

When the inverter passes dump load test after startup, it will change from stand-by mode to

checking mode.

【Checking Mode】

If inverter passed dump load test and no error/fault occurs, starts checking to deliver power.

【On-Grid Mode】

Under this mode, inverters convert PV array’s DC into AC and feedback into grid.

CAUTION:

The inverter decreases the output power is normal in the condition of thermal protection,

but if this phenomenon often occurred, you need to check the heatsink, or considering put

the inverter in the place where have better air flow. If output power decreases caused by

electrical, please ask for professional supports.

【MPPT Mode】

The default setting is MPPT mode, the operation mode will return to MPPT after DC&AC

restart. The MPPT voltage range of Hosola Smart series

1000TL/1600TL/2200TL/2500TL/3000TL is 130/175/180/210/230V~500V.

【Fault Mode】

If any fault/error occurred, inverter stopped delivering power until the fault/error is clear.

Some fault/error will auto recover, and some need manually restart.

【Setting Mode】

The user can get into the setting mode by press “Function” key for 6 seconds if DC is exist.

The detail information please refers to operation method in chapter 7.

6 Installation

6.1 Installation

　　Attention:

　　Checking environment where system is installed.

　　Check whether the installation site does not fall into none of the following conditions:

　　　　1. The ambient temperature is outside the range of tolerable ambient temperature

　　　　　( -20°C to +60°C, -4°F to +140°F).

　　　　2. Higher than the altitude of about 2,000 m above sea level.

　　　　3. Prone to damage by sea water.

　　　　4. Close to corrosive gas or liquid (for example, locations where chemicals are 　

　　　　　processed, feed lots or poultry).

　　　　5. Exposed to direct sunlight.

　　　　6. Prone to flooding or high levels of snow pack.

　　　　7. Minimal or no air flow and high humidity.

　　　　8. Condensations.

　　　　9. Exposure to steam, vapor, or water.

　　　　10. Exposure to direct cool air.

　　　　11. Near television antenna or antenna cable.

　　　　12. Ventilation is not enough to cool the inverter, that is to say, outdoors, the 　　

　　　　　　inverter requires. At least 30 cm (see table 2) of clearance between the button

　　　　　　of the unit and the ground, indoors, it is recommended that the same 　　　　

　　　　　　clearance between the button of the unit and the floor be used. Installing the

　　　　　　inverter in the place mentioned above may cause the malfunction of the 　　

　　　　　　system caused by water or high temperature inside the inverter. Please let 　

　　　　　　usersknow that Hosola will not compensate the fault caused by the above 　

　　　　　　situation.

Note(for Hosola Smart series)：

1. The PV modules should have an IEC61730 Class A rating or equivalent. The

resistance between PV positive or negative and ground must be more than 600kohm.

2. This product can cause a dc current in the external protective earthing conductor.

Where a residual current-operated protective (RCD) or monitoring (RCM) device is

used for protection in a case of direct or indirect contact, only an RCD or RCM of Type

B is allowed on the supply side of this product.

3. The installation place should be away from humid or corrosive substance.

4. The Hosola inverters can be used outdoor.

5. Users can check the firmware version via LCD function as shown below.

6. The Isc PV is can be referred as Max. DC current.

7. The AC output inrush current is 20A with duration time 2us.

8. The maximum output fault current of AC output is below 15mA RMS.

9. The maximum output over current protection can be referred as Max. output current.

14 15

Warning:

The open voltage of the PV array must be less than550V.

Over voltage may cause permanent damage to inverter .

Caution!

Installtion shall comply with local regulations and technical rules.

Installtion shall comply with the relevant instructions of EN62109-1/2.

Warning:

A warning that when the photovoltaic array is exposed to light, it supplies a DC.

voltage to the PCE.

Residual current protection:

Residual current detection and monitoring unit integrated inside,an external

residual current breaker is not required.

If an external RCD or residual current breaker is strctly required,you must use a

switch that triggers at a failure current of 100mA or higher.
