This manual describes the installation, electrical connections, maintenance and troubleshooting of the following inverters: 3PH HYD5000 ZSS / 3PH HYD6000 ZSS / 3PH HYD8000 ZSS 3PH HYD10000 ZSS / 3PH HYD15000 ZSS / 3PH HYD20000 ZSS...
1. Introduction The 3PH HYD5000-HYD20000-ZSS hybrid inverter is used in photovoltaic systems with battery storage. The system can be combined with WeCo or Pylontech batteries supplied in kit form by ZCS Azzurro. The basic operating scheme is shown in Figure 1, the inverter has direct access to the photovoltaic production and to the management of the batteries, so that they can be charged and discharged according to the current production needs and conditions and to the actual consumption.
Figure 1 - Diagram of a system with 3PH HYD5000-HYD20000-ZSS hybrid inverter 2. Preliminary safety instructions Before installation, please read this manual carefully and make sure you fully understand its contents. The 3PH HYD5000-HYD20000-ZSS inverter strictly complies with the safety regulations if it is installed, connected and serviced according to the instructions in this manual.
2.1. Safety Notes Electrical installation and maintenance of the 3PH HYD5000-HYD20000-ZSS inverter must be carried out by competent persons in accordance with the local guidelines; qualified electricians and professionals must be duly certified and authorised. According to national requirements, before connecting to the electricity grid, permission must be obtained from the local energy provider.
Remove watches, rings and other metal objects; b) Only use tools with insulated handles; Wear rubber gloves and shoes; d) Do not place tools or metal objects on top of the battery; Turn off the inverter and batteries before connecting/disconnecting the battery terminals; Both the positive and negative polarities must be isolated from the ground.

Read this manual before installing the 3PH HYD5000-HYD20000-ZSS inverter This value indicates the degree of protection of the equipment in accordance with the IEC 70-1 (EN 60529 June 1997) standard. Positive and negative polarities of DC voltage (Photovoltaic and Battery) This side up.
Carefully check the packaging and product fittings before installation. Caution Figure 3 - Installation process The 3PH HYD5000-HYD20000-ZSS inverter can operate in automatic mode and in time-of-use charge, charge/discharge mode. In automatic mode, when the energy produced by the PV field is greater than that required by the utilities, the 3PH HYD5000-HYD20000-ZSS inverter charges the battery using the photovoltaic energy in excess, and when the photovoltaic energy is lower than that required, the inverter uses the energy stored in the battery to supply current to the local load.

3.5. Wall installation position The inverter must be placed in a dry and clean place for proper functioning. The area must be tidy and convenient for installation, and well-ventilated to prevent overheating. DO NOT place it near flammable or explosive materials. The AC overvoltage of the 3PH HYD5000-HYD20000-ZSS inverter belongs to Category III.
3.6. Assembly instructions To remove the inverter, open the packaging, insert your hands into the slots on both sides of the inverter and grasp the handles; lift the inverter out of the packaging and move it to the installation position. The inverter is quite heavy, so make sure to keep your balance while moving it.
4. Electrical connections Before making any electrical connections, make sure that the DC circuit breaker is switched off. The stored electrical charge remains in the capacitor after the DC circuit breaker has been switched off, for safety reasons, wait 5 minutes for the capacitor to discharge completely. The PV modules generate electricity when exposed to sunlight, and can create electric shocks.

2. Use of metre and CT sensors. In this case, both the current probes offered by ZCS and other types of probes can be connected to the metre, which must be correctly set on the metre. The first method can be applied in all cases where the distance between the hybrid inverter and the sensor insertion point is less than 50 meters.
Page 59
④ ⑤ Figure 64 - CT interface Take care to correctly identify the three phases as they are connected to the inverter on the grid connector. The sensors of each phase must match. Position the sensors according to the direction on the sensor (arrow). Figure 65 - Reference to sensor direction If it is necessary to extend the sensor connection cables, use UTP network cables or FTP grid cables, if there is electrical/electronic noise near the wire that could cause interference.
5.4.2. Connecting the Meter Due to the stability of the RS485 signal, for distances greater than 50 metres between the inverter and measuring point, it is necessary to use the Meter in addition to the sensors, as shown in the figure.
Page 61
Connect the Meter and sensors according to the diagram shown in the figure below. Connect PIN 10 of the Meter to the neutral cable (N), connect PINs 2, 5 and 8 to phases R, S and T respectively. As regards the connections with the CT sensors, the terminals of the R-phase sensor must be connected to PIN 1 (red wire) and PIN 3 (black wire).

5.4.3. Measuring the photovoltaic production If there is already one or more photovoltaic inverters in the system, it is possible to have the hybrid system display not only the photovoltaic contribution of the panels connected to its inputs but also the power produced by external photovoltaic panels. This is achieved by connecting a second Meter in a suitable position that allows reading the entire production of the photovoltaic system (excluding that of the hybrid three-phase inverter).

10. Uninstalling 10.1. Uninstallation steps Disconnect the inverter from the AC grid. Disconnect the DC switch (located on the battery or installed on the wall) Wait 5 minutes. Remove the DC connectors from the inverter. Remove the connectors for communication with the batteries and current sensors.
11. Monitoring systems 11.1. External Wi-Fi adapter 11.1.1. Installation Unlike the internal Wi-Fi card, the external adapter must be installed for all compatible inverters. However, the procedure is quicker and easier as there is no need to open the front cover of the inverter.
Figure 85 – Inserting and securing the external Wi-Fi adapter 4) Switch on the inverter by following the procedure described in the manual. 11.1.2. Configuration Configuration of the Wi-Fi adapter requires the presence of a Wi-Fi network near the inverter in order to achieve stable transmission of data from the inverter adapter to the Wi-Fi modem.

10) Click “OK”. Figure 97 – Final configuration screen (4) 11) At this point, if the configuration of the adapter is successful, the last configuration screen will appear, and the telephone or PC will unpair from the inverter’s Wi-Fi network. 12) Manually close the web page with the Close key on the PC por remove it from the background of the telephone.
11.1.3. Verification Wait two minutes after configuring the adapter and then go back to the Wi-Fi network selection screen to verify that the AP_******* network is no longer present. The absence of the Wi-Fi network in the list will confirm the successful configuration of the Wi-Fi adapter. Figure 99 –...

Press the Reset button for 10 seconds and release After a few seconds, the LEDs will turn off and READY will start to flash quickly The adapter has now returned to its initial state. At this point, the configuration procedure can be repeated again. The adapter can only be reset when the inverter is switched on.

is set to 01 (and in any case, other than 00). If the value is not 01, go to “Settings” (basic settings for hybrid inverters) and enter the Modbus Address menu where the 01 value can be set. Check that the Wi-Fi adapter is correctly and securely connected to the inverter, making sure to tighten the two cross-head screws provided.

Figure 108 - Configuration of an iOS smartphone as a hotspot router At this point, it is necessary to re-configure the Wi-Fi adapter using a PC or smartphone other than the one used as a modem. During this procedure, when asked to select the Wi-Fi network, choose the one activated by the smartphone and then enter the password associated with it (which can be changed from the personal hotspot settings).
11.2. Ethernet adapter 11.2.1. Installation Installation must be carried out for all inverters compatible with the adapter. However, the procedure is quicker and easier as there is no need to open the front cover of the inverter. Proper operation of the device requires the presence of a modem correctly connected to the network and in operation in order to achieve stable data transmission from the inverter to the server.
