Quick User Manual 1 Safety Instructions
During Installation
Prior to installing the inverter onto the wall, it is crucial to make certain that
the inverter is not electrically connected.
System performance loss due to bad ventilation!
The device requires good quality ventilation during operation. It is essential
to keep the unit upright and nothing covering the heat sink in order to
ensure that the device interior is well cooled down.
During Electrical Connection
PV arrays will produce electrical energy when exposed to sunlight and thus
can create an electrical shock hazard.
Wiring of the PV arrays should be performed only by qualified personnel.
All electrical connections must be in accordance with local and national
standards.
Only with the permission of the local energy sector, the inverter can be
connected into the utility grid.
All cables must be firmly attached, undamaged, properly insulated and
adequately dimensioned.

During Inverter Operation
Do not open the enclosure when the inverter is under voltage. There is an unlikely
but possible risk of explosion in very specific cases of malfunction. The enclosure
will protect persons and property from such an explosion, only if it is correctly
sealed.
There is a risk of inverter damage or personal injury!
DO NOT disconnect DC connectors while the inverter is under AC load! First
de-energize the device from dual power sources and then verify that there is
no voltage present.
There is a risk of burn!
DO NOT touch the device hot parts (such as heat sink) during operation.
Only LCD display panel and DC switch can be touched during inverter
operation.
Maintenance and Service
Before any service work, you should obey the following procedures.
Disconnect inverter from the utility grid first and then PV arrays;
Wait at least 10 minutes until the inner capacitors discharge completely;
Verify that no voltage or current is present with appropriate testing
device.
Keep non-related persons away!
A temporary warning sign and barrier must be posted to keep non-related
persons away in any period while performing electrical connection and
service work.

undertaken in the absence of proper tools, test equipments or more
recent revision of the manual which is clearly and thoroughly
understood.
There is a risk of inverter damage if it is improperly serviced.
Use only accessories and spare parts approved by the inverter
manufacturer. Never modify the inverter or its components. Otherwise it
will cause loss of any or all warranty rights.
Others
The selected country settings can be changed only by qualified personnel!
Unauthorized modification to country settings should be prohibited.

2 Product Introduction
The inverters, which are 3-phase string inverters without transformer, are crucial
units between the PV strings and utility grid in the small-scaled PV power system.
The intended usage of the inverter is illustrated in Fig.2-1.
By setting the upper limit of feed power, the inverter will run with power derating
once the meter detects that the output power is greater than the set value.
Any other or additional usage is not permitted except the intended usage.
Where the positive or negative terminal of PV strings needs to be grounded,
inverter cannot be connected to PV modules.

Connecting Inverter to AC Grid
Danger to human life due to high voltage inside the inverter!
Make sure that all the DC and AC cables to the inverter are not live before
the electrical work.
Do not turn on the AC circuit breaker until all inverter electrical connections
have completed.
1. Unscrew the water-proof terminal in the
following direction.
2. Insert appropriate size AC cables into the
water-proof terminal.
3. Strip off insulation layer of all AC cables.
The length of strip insulation is
approximately 10 mm.

4.4 DC Connection
4.4.1 PV Mode Configuration
The two PV inputs can be configured in independent mode or parallel mode. Refer
to the user manual for an appropriate mode selection.
In independent mode, when there is only one PV input, the other input may
produce induced voltage. DO NOT touch the unused DC terminals.
Independent Mode
For independent mode, the two PV inputs work independently, each with its own
MPPT. Therefore the two PV inputs can be different from each other in PV module
types, numbers of PV panels in PV string, tilt angles and orientation angles of PV
modules.
SG12KTL-EC is set in parallel mode by default. If you want to configure it to
independent mode, please remove copper bars between the two terminal blocks
and tighten the PV input parallel lid back to the inverter. Meanwhile refer to “5.2
Commissioning Procedure” to modify the configuration mode.
Keep the copper bars in a convenient place for future use.
Parallel Mode
For parallel mode, all PV strings with the same type, the same number, identical tilt
and identical orientation in series can be connected to each single input area. Two
trackers are configured in parallel by Y-type cable connector terminal to handle
power and/or current levels higher than those a single tracker can handle.
15
Page 22
4 Electrical Connection Quick User Manual
For SG8KTL-EC and SG10KTL-EC, the default configuration mode of the LCD screen is
independent mode. If you want to configure it to parallel mode, please refer to “5.2
Commissioning Procedure” to modify the configuration mode.
4.4.2 DC Cables Connection
1. Assemble the DC plug-in connectors and connect them to the bottom
terminals.
2. Check the polarity of the PV input before PV input connection and that the
open-circuit voltage does not exceed the inverter input limit 1000 V, even
under the lowest operating temperature. Refer to module specification
supplied by module manufacturer for detailed information.
480.0
+
-
The inverter will not function properly if the DC polarities are reversed.
Check the positive and negative polarity of the PV cells. After confirmation,
you can insert the DC connectors into the input terminals on the bottom of the
inverter.
For the same MPPT, reverse connection of a single string is prohibited. A
permanent failure of the system or inverter may follow if otherwise.
3. Plug the positive and negative DC connectors into PV terminals underneath
the connection cabinet until there is an audible sound.

4. One pair of DC terminals in DC1 input and DC2 input must be short-circuited
by Y-type cable connector terminal. (For SG8KTL-EC and SG10KTL-EC)
5. Seal the unused DC terminals with the terminal caps.
4.5 Second Protective Earth Terminal
The inverter is equipped with second protective earth terminal as specified in EN

4.6.1 Interfaces Overview
All communication terminals are located on the bottom of the inverter.
4.6.2 RS485 Communication Connection
Where there is more than one inverter, all inverters can be connected in a “daisy
chain”. The very first and last inverters in the chain must be terminated with a
resistor of 120 Ω. The shielding layer of network cable should be single-point
grounded.
For RJ45 Connection the pins definitions are shown below:
18
Page 25
Quick User Manual 4 Electrical Connection
The following figure shows the RS485 connection to the three-phase smart energy
meter.
The length of insulation to be stripped off is 5 mm~7 mm.
The wires 3 and 6 are connected to terminals A and B respectively.
4.6.3 Ethernet Communication Connection
The Ethernet communication can be connected either in single, daisy chain or star
topology.
Fig. 4-1 Single inverter network connection
Fig. 4-2 Inverters network connection in daisy chain topology
The network communication of the daisy chain is done via the inverter in-built
switching chip. Therefore, when the inverter is damaged or enters the low power
consumption status, the switching chip cannot work normally and the daisy chain
communication will be interrupted.

The star topology network connection is recommended for optimal operation.
The maximum number of inverters connected depends on switch, router and other
factors. Please refer to switch’s or router’s manual to obtain the limit.
The Network cable should be less than 100 m.
4.6.4 Power Control Configuration
There are two terminals located on the bottom of the inverter for power control
configuration: DI and DO.
Power Control Settings
The inputs of DI can be used to connect a ripple control receiver for active power
control.
The inverters then can be linked via Ethernet/RS485 so that the inverter connected
to the ripple control receiver can transmit the information received to the other
inverters.
In the Ethernet communication connection, only one inverter can be
set as master inverter, others shall be set as slave inverters.
