Unplugging under load: PV plug connections must not be unplugged while under
load. They can be placed in a no load state by switching off the DC/AC converter or
breaking the DC circuit interrupter. Plugging and unplugging while under voltage is
permitted.
It is unadvisable to use non-tinned cables of type H07RN-F, since with oxidised
copper wires the contact resistances of the crimp connection may exceed the permitted
limits.
Disconnected connectors should be protected from dirt and water with sealing
caps.
Plugged parts are watertight IP67. They can not be used permanently under
water. Do not lay the MC-PV connectors on the roof surface.
See the MC catalogue 2 Solar line for technical data and assembled parts.

6.5 Communication and Monitoring Device
There are 2 plugs in the bottom side of the Soleos inverter as the following figure:
These 2 plugs are used for multipoint communications, that is, up to 50 Soleos inverters can
be connected one by one through these 2 plugs and the cables, the upper computer can
communicate with these inverters via a single signal cable at the same time, and maximum
length of the cable is 1000m. Through these plugs, the user can get the data from these
inverters, and can also configure parameters of them.

Only perform this operation when the voltage value displayed on Soleos inverter’s LCD
falls between 150V and 450V for 1.5kW/2.0kW inverters or between 150V and 550V for
3.0kW/4.0kW/5.0kW inverters.
Only perform this operation when the accumulative generated electricity is less than 1KWh.
2) Operation steps are as following
a. Power on the inverter with only DC side connected, while disconnecting cables of AC
side.
b. Press the Function button until the LCD displays inverter’s model and hold the button for
5 seconds or more when the LCD displays the current Safety Standard. Change the
standard by pressing the Function button one at a time.
