service life.
The installation location should be 1,500mm above the ground surface. Clearances of at
least 500mm should be reserved around the Logger3000 for ease of maintenance. The
follow figure shows the requirement for minimum clearances.
When there are external devices (such as Meteo Station) connected to the
Logger3000, users should install corresponding communication SPD according
to onsite conditions.

7.1 Safety Instructions
High voltage hazard!
The Logger3000 should be reliably ground. Never touch the AC power supply
port "AC (10~277V)" and PLC communication port "PLC (L1、L2)" when the
device is powered on.
High voltage hazard! Danger will be caused by touching the PLC communication
port immediately after powering down. Wait at least 30s to have the capacitor
discharge completely.
Incorrect wiring will cause device damage or even personal injury.
All cables must be intact, well insulated, appropriately dimensioned, and firmly
connected.

Multiple inverters are connected to the Logger3000 in the RS485 daisy chain manner. If
more than 15 inverters are connected on the RS485 bus, it is recommended to connect
a 120Ω terminal resistor in parallel on the RS485A and RS485B lines at the head or tail
end of the bus.
With an outdoor device connected to the Logger3000, it is recommended to
connect an SPD to protect the device from lightning damage.
• The Logger3000 supports 6 RS485 buses and 200 devices at most. Each RS485
bus supports 60 devices at most.
• Devices of different types must be connected to different RS485 communication
ports of the Logger3000. For example, the transformer and the inverter should be
connected to different RS485 communication ports of the Logger3000.
• The address of each device on the RS485 bus should be within the set address
range (1 to 246) of the Logger3000 without repetition. Otherwise, communication

The built-in PLC module of the Logger3000 supports AC voltage less than 800V.
In case of PLC communication, the distance between the Logger3000 and the
inverter should be no more than 1,000m.
PLC networking is intended for medium voltage grid-connection. If low voltage
grid-connection is desired, observe the following two conditions:
• Never connect a load between the Logger3000 and the PLC slave node.
• The distance between the Logger3000 and the load should be greater than
20m, that is, the LV grid-connection point should be more than 20m away
from the nearest load distribution line. The load includes air conditioners,
machines, motors, etc.
In case of PLC communication, note that:
• Electrical connection between the inverter and its downstream transformer
has been correctly performed.
• Input and output circuit breakers of the Logger, inverter, and transformer are
connected.

The Logger3000 can compare data of the gateway meter with the real-time power
of the inverter, thereby dynamically adjusting the active power or reactive power of
the inverter. For more information. refer to "10.3 EMU Setting"。
• Data upload function
The Logger3000 can upload the running data of the inverter in the PV system to
iSolarCloud.

11 Maintenance
Due to the influence of ambient temperature, humidity, dust and vibration, the inner
components of the Logger3000 will be aging and worn out. To ensure the system safety
and maintain the efficiency of the Logger3000, it is necessary to carry out routine and
periodic maintenance.
All measures, which can help the Logger3000 to keep good working conditions, are
within the maintenance scope.
11.1 Safety Instructions
Only qualified personnel can perform the work described in this chapter.
Do not leave any screws, washers or other metallic parts inside the Logger3000
to avoid device damage.
After the Logger3000 stops, wait at least 5 minutes before performing any work
on it.
FFiivvee SSaaffeettyy RRuulleess
Respect the following five rules throughout the maintenance or service process to
ensure personnel safety.
• Disconnect the Logger3000 from all the external connections and internal power
supplies.
• Ensure that the Logger3000 will not be inadvertently connected.
• Ensure that the Logger3000 is voltage free with a multimeter.
• Connect necessary grounding cables.
• Cover the electrical components with insulation cloth during operation.
