5.2 Mounting Instructions
•
Z10 series inverter is designed for both indoor and outdoor installations. Zeus
Appollo Solar recommends installing the inverter in a basement or garage where
there is no direct exposure to sunlight or rain.
•
Do not install in rooms where people live or where the prolonged presence of people
or animals is expected due to the level of noise that the inverter may make during
operation.
•
Please mount the inverter in the direction as illustrated above.
•
Installing the inverter in the vertical direction is recommended, with a max.15
degrees backwards tilt.
•
For the convenience of checking the LCD display and possible maintenance
activities, please install the inverter at eye level.
•
Ensure that the wall selected for installation is strong enough for the mounting
screws and can bear the weight of the inverter.
•
Ensure the inverter is properly fixed to the wall.
•
It is not recommended that the inverter be exposed to strong sunshine. The excess
heat may lead to power reductions.
•
The ambient temperature of the installation sites should be between -20 °C and
+60 °C (between -4 °F and 140 °F).
•
Ensure the installation location is well ventilated. Insufficient ventilation may reduce
the performance of the electronic components inside the inverter and shorten the
lifespan of the inverter.

2. Where the wall is marked, drill 4 holes and then insert the four expansion tubes into the
holes using a rubber hammer. Next insert the 4 screws through the mounting holes in
the bracket and then tighten the screws into the expansion tubes. The bracket is now
installed.
21
3. Check the 4 holes at the rear of the inverter and lift the inverter carefully, aligning the 4
holes in the inverter into the 4 hooks on the bracket. Once align, attach the inverter
gently onto the bracket.

The Z10 series inverter is equipped with an integrated RCD (Residual Current
Protective Device) and RCM (Residual Current Operated Monitor). The current sensor
will detect the volume of the leakage current and compare it with the pre-set value, if the
leakage current exceeds the permitted range, the RCD will disconnect the inverter from
the AC load.

3) Finally push the straight plug to the AC terminal on the inverter，then rotate the
locker according to the direction instructed by the marks on the locker.
4) If you need to separate the connectors, please use a screwdriver to press the lock
tongue, rotate the locker according to the direction instructed by the marks on the
locker, and then pull down the plug.

MC4 Assembly instructions
If, during self assembly, parts and tools other than those stated by MC are used
or if the preparation and assembly instructions described here are disregarded then
neither safety nor compliance with the technical data can be guaranteed.
For protection against electric shock, PV-connectors must be isolated from the
power supply while being assembled or disassembled.
The end product must provide protection from electric shock.
The use of PVC cables is not recommended.
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 inadvisable to use non-tinned cables of type H07RN-F, since with oxidized
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 cannot be used permanently under
water. Do not lay the MC-PV connectors on the roof surface.
See the MC catalogue 2 solar lines for technical data and assembled parts.

located, the white mark on the test pin must still be visible.
(ill. 17)
Screw up the cable gland hand-tight with the tools PV-MS
or tighten the cable gland with the tools PV-WZ-AD/GWD
and PV-SSE-AD4.
In both cases: The tightening torque must be appropriate
for the solar cables used. Typical values are between 2,5
Nm and 3 Nm.
(ill. 18)
Plug the parts of the cable coupler together until they click
in place. Check that they have engaged properly by pulling
on the cable coupler.

6.4 Communication and Monitoring Device
There are 2 RJ45 ports on the bottom side of the Z10 series inverter as shown in the
following figure:
The 2x RJ45 ports are used for multipoint communications. Up to 50 Z10 series
inverters can be connected via these 2 ports. The upper computer can communicate
with these inverters via a single signal cable at the same time with support for a
maximum cable length of 1000m. Data and inverter configuration parameters are set
through the ports.

8. Troubleshooting
LCD display Possible actions
Correctable Fault
Isolation Fault
1. Check the impedance between PV (+) & PV (-) and the
inverter is earthed. The impedance must be greater than
2MΩ.
2. Check whether the AC-side has contacts with earth.
Current Fault
1. The ground current is too high.
2. After cut off the AC side connection, unplug the inputs
from the PV generator and check the peripheral AC
system.
3. After the cause is cleared, re-plug the PV panel and AC
connection, and check PV-Inverter status.
Master Grid Freq Fault
Master Grid Volt Fault
1. Wait for a moment, if the grid returns to normal, PVInverter automatically restarts.
2. Make sure grid voltage and frequency meet the
specifications.
No Utility
1. Grid is not connected.
2. Check grid connection cables.
3. Check grid usability.
4. If grid is ok, and the problem persists, maybe the fuse in
the inverter is open, please call service.
Over Temp Fault
1. The internal temperature is higher than specified normal
value.
2. Find a way to reduce the ambient temperature.
3. Or move the inverter to a cooler environment.
PV Voltage Fault
1. Check the open PV voltage; see if it is greater than or too
close to 500VDC (for Z10I1K, Z10I1K5, Z10I2K, Z10I2K5
or Z10I3K).
2. If PV voltage is less than 500VDC, and the problem still
occurs, please call local service.
Permanent Fault
ENS Grid Voltage Fault
ENS Grid Freq Fault
Disconnect PV (+) or PV (-) from the input, restart the
inverter.
Relay1 Fault
Relay2 Fault
1. Disconnect ALL PV (+) or PV (-).
2. Wait for a few seconds.
3. After the LCD switches off, reconnect and check again.
4. If the problems remain please call local service.
