1. Introduction 1 1. Introduction 1.1. Introduction This manual provides information on functionality and maintenance of the Protect PV solar inverter. Illustration 1.1: Protect PV 10 kW, Protect PV 12.5 kW, Protect PV 15 kW CE marking - This certifies the conformity of the equipment with the regulations which apply in accordance with the directives 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC. The Protect PV inverter series comprises: Protect PV Protect PV easy 1.2.
1. Introduction On grid (Green LED on) The inverter is connected to the grid and energises the grid. The inverter disconnects if: It detects abnormal grid conditions (depending on country settings), if an internal event occurs or if no PV power is available (no power is supplied to the grid for 10 minutes). It then goes into connecting mode or off grid mode.
2. Display 2. Display 2 2.1. Display Note: Due to the advanced functionalities of the inverter, it may take up to 10 seconds before the display becomes available after power up. The integrated display on the inverter front gives the user access to all information about the PV system and the inverter. The display has two modes: Normal Power saving The display is in use After 10 min. of no display activity the back light of the display turns off to save power.

3. Web Server Quick Guide 3. Web Server Quick Guide 3.1. Introduction 3 These instructions describe the Protect PV Web Server, which facilitates remote access to the inverter. Refer to the download area at www.aegps.com/solarinverters for the newest instructions. 3.2.
3. Web Server Quick Guide 3 Illustration 3.1: Product Label 6. The Web Server logon dialog opens. 7. Type 'admin' in the user and password fields, and click [Log in]. 8. At initial logon the inverter runs a setup wizard. Ensure pop-ups are enabled before the wizard starts. 3.3.2. Setup Wizard Step 1 of 7: Master setting To set up a master inverter, click on [Set this inverter as master]. • A scan runs to identify inverters in the network.
3. Web Server Quick Guide 3 Illustration 3.3: Step 2 of 7: Display Language To change the language setting later, refer to Setup, Setup Details. Step 3 of 7: Time and date Enter • time in 24-hour format • date • time zone Accuracy is important, because date and time are used for logging purposes. Adjustment for daylight savings is automatic. Illustration 3.4: Step 3 of 7: Time and Date To change these settings later, refer to Setup, Inverter details, Set Date and Time.
3. Web Server Quick Guide Incorrect setting can have serious consequences for production efficiency. 3 Illustration 3.5: Step 4 of 7: Installed Power To change the installed power, refer to Setup, Calibration, PV Array. Step 5 of 7: Country setting Select the country setting to match the installation. To meet medium voltage grid requirements select a country option ending in MV. • The default setting is [undefined]. Select the country setting again, to confirm. • The setting is activated immediately.
3.

4. Troubleshooting 4. Troubleshooting 4.1. Troubleshooting Only trained and authorised personnel familiar with electrical systems and safety issues may work on inverters and electrical installations. 4 Should the inverter not supply energy as expected, go through the checklist before calling service. 1. Check that the grid is properly connected to the inverter and that the mains switch is not switched off. 2. Check that there is sufficient solar radiation to generate power. UPV >250 V 3.
5. Maintenance 5. Maintenance 5.1. Maintenance Normally, the inverter needs no maintenance or calibration. Ensure the heatsink at the rear of the inverter is not covered. 5 Clean the contacts of the PV load switch once per year. Perform cleaning by cycling the switch to on and off positions ten times.The PV load switch is located at the base of the inverter. 5.1.1.
