Don't touch, hot surface! of the local power suppliers, companies and related authorities. • If the GEP inverter is unpacked but not put into use immediately, please put it back to the original package with the desiccant bag and seal it with tape.
3 Product Introduction To ensure IP65 protection is maintained, please make sure that the inverter is rigorously packed and its components are sealed properly. GE strongly suggests to install the 3.1 Inverter Overview inverter at most one day after it has been unpacked. If this is not the case and the GEP inverter illustration.
4 Installation 3.2 Package The unit is thoroughly tested and strictly inspected before delivery. Damage may still occur during 4.1 Mounting Instructions shipping. 1. In order to achieve optimal performance, the ambient temperature should be lower than 45℃. 1. Check the package for any visible damage upon receiving. 2.
4.3 Electrical Connection 4. To guarantee the enough space for heat dissipation and facilitate the installation and removal, the spacing around the inverter should meet the requirements as demonstrated in the following 4.3.1 AC Side Connection illustration. 1. When connecting the inverter, please make sure both the voltage and the frequencey of the inverter installed are complied with grid regulations and the inverter’s specification.

5. Red wire represents positive, black wire represents negative. 6. For the GE series the minimum insulation resistance to the ground of the PV panels must exceed 20kΩ(R=600/30mA). There is risk of electric shock if this minimum resistance requirement is not met.
Wi-Fi communication option is only applicable to Wi-Fi version inverter and Wi-Fi communication module is required. Please refer to "Wi-Fi Configuration Instruction" in the accessory box for detailed instruction. The Wi-Fi module installation of the GEP inverter is shown as below: L2 = L1 + (1~2mm) Step 2 Insert the stripped wire into the terminal and compress it tightly by crimping pliers.
