Installation 【MPPT Mode】 The default setting is MPPT mode, the operation mode will return to MPPT after DC&AC restart. 【Fault Mode】 If any fault/error occurs, inverter will stop delivering power until the fault/error is rectified. Some fault/ error will recover automatically, and others may need manual restart. 【Setting Mode】 Press “Function” key for 5 seconds to get into the Setting mode if DC power exists. Please refer to chapter 7 of the Manual more information. 6 6.

If the inverter is powered the capacitors will be charged if after the inverter is turned off, hence it is to wait for 5 minutes to ensure that the capacitors are discharged.
Installation ● ● Not exposed to direct cool air. Not close to television antenna or antenna cable. Inverter needs at least 30cm (see table 2) clearance. If this is not observed, inverter is likely to malfunction high temperature inside the inverter. Samil Power will not cover any damage due to this condition. Position Min. clearance Side 30cm Top 30cm Bottom 30cm Front 10cm Table 2 Minimum clearance needed 6.3 Preparation Following tools are needed for installation.
Installation Step2: Clean all dust outside/inside the hole and ensure the distances between hole are as per requirement. Insert expansion pipes into the holes vertically, use rubber hammer to tap the pipes into the wall completely. Insert the bracket into expansion pipes and use expansion screws to fasten the bracket.
Installation Step3: Use the bracket to install the inverter onto the narrow vertical panel (or wall). Ensure the upper corner of inverter is attached onto the bracket. Step4: Make sure the bracket and the inverter’s right side screw hole are in line and matching well, fix the screw into the hole and screw into the inverter tightly. Step5: If necessary lock the inverter and the bracket with padlock (not included) for safety. 6.
Installation Note！ Need not connect the input terminal to optimizer. ● AC Output SolarRiver series inverters are designed for single phase grid. Operating AC voltage range from 180V to 260V (200V-270V for Australia) and the typical frequency is 50Hz. Other operating parameters should comply with local public grid regulations.

Communication and Monitoring 8 8.1 Communication and Monitoring Communication Interface SolarRiver inverters have communication interface RS485 and /or RS232 depending on model. Output voltage, current, frequency, fault information, etc., can be delivered to a PC or other monitoring equipment via the RS485/RS232. 8.2 Communication types SolarRiver inverters come with one or both of the following types communication facility depending on model.
Communication and Monitoring server Router Figure 24 SolarLog Monitoring Diagram Two types of cable must be prepared when using SolarLog for monitoring multipleinverters. Inverter wiring Find a Ethernet cable with appropriate length. At one end of the cable, strip off about 2 inches of the Ethernet cable sheath. Choose 4 wires (brown，brown white, orange , orange white), and press the 4 wires into pin1 to pin4 of the RJ11 crystal head as below.
Troubleshooting 9 9.1 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This section contains information and procedures for solving possible problems on SolarRiver series inverters, and provides troubleshooting tips to identify and solve most problems. This section will help narrow down the source of any problems which you may encounter. Please read the following troubleshooting steps. ● Check the warning or fault messages on the System Control Panel or Fault codes on the inverter information panel.
Troubleshooting Continued： Fan Fault 9.2 - Check the fan for any block. - Check fan cables. - If fault persists, contact Samil Power for assistance. Relay Failure - Disconnect PV +ve and –ve input, and re-connect after a short break. - If fault persists, contact Samil Power for assistance. Ground I Fault - Leakage current is too high. - Disconnect DC and AC connector, check equipment on the AC side for concerns and rectify any faults found. - Reconnect the DC input and check operation..
Decommissioning & Contacting Samil Power 10 Decommissioning 10.1 Dismantling the Inverter ● Disconnect the inverter from DC Input and AC output. ● Remove all connection cables from the inverter. ● Remove the inverter from the bracket. 10.2 Packaging If possible, pack the inverter in the original packaging.
