If the alarm occurs occasionally, the possible cause
is that the electric grid is abnormal occasionally.
SOFAR inverter automatically returns to normal
operating status when the electric grid’s back to
normal.
If the alarm occurs frequently, check whether the
grid voltage/frequency is within the acceptable
range. If no, contact SOFAR technical support. If
yes, check the AC circuit breaker and AC wiring of
the SOFAR inverter.
If the grid voltage/frequency is within the acceptable
range and AC wiring is correct, while the alarm
occurs repeatedly, contact SOFAR technical support
to change the grid over-voltage, under-voltage, over­frequency, under-frequency protection points after
obtaining approval from the local electrical grid
operator.

Maintenance

Inverters generally do not need any daily or routine maintenance. Heat sink should not

be

blocked by dust,

dirt

or

any other items.

Before the cleaning, make sure

that

the

DC

SWITCH

is

turned

OFF

and the circuit breaker

between

SOFAR

inverter

and

electrical grid

is

turned

OFF.

Wait at least for 5 minutes before

the cleaning.

® Inverter cleaning

Please clean the inverter with an air blower, a dry & soft cloth

or

a soft bristle brush. Do NOT clean the

inverter with water, corrosive chemicals, detergent,

etc.

® Heat sink cleaning

For the long-term proper operation

of

SO FAR inverters, ensure there is enough space around the heat sink for

ventilation, check the heat sink for blockage (dust, snow, etc.) and clean them

if

they exist. Please clean the

heat sink with an

air blower, a dry & soft cloth

or

a soft bristle brush. Do NOT clean the heat sink with water,

corrosive chemicals, detergent,

etc.
