Do not use the equipment if any operating anomalies are found. Avoid temporary repairs. All repairs should be carried out using only approved spare parts, which must be installed in accordance with their intended use and by a licensed contractor or authorized Energizer Solar service representative.
PV array, cables or inverter (DC). The RCD in the Energizer Solar inverter can detect leakage on the DC side. There are 2 trip thresholds for the RCD as required by the DIN VDE 0126-1-1 standard. A low threshold is used to protect against rapid changes in leakage typical of direct contact by people.
of 30mA may actually trip at a leakage as 15mA (according to IEC 61008). High quality RCDs will typically trip at a value closer to their rating. 2. Configure the trip current of the inverter’ internal RCD to a lower value than the trip current of the external RCD.

Step 1: Fix the bracket on the wall Choose the place you want to install the inverter. Place the bracket on the wall and mark the position of the 5 holes from bracket. Drill holes with electric drill, make sure the holes are at least 50mm deep, and then tighten the expansion tubes.
Step 2: Match the inverter with wall bracket Hang the inverter over the bracket, slightly lower the inverter, and make sure the 2 grooves on the back are fixed with the 2 mounting bars from bracket properly. Fixing inverter with the supplied M5 screw. 6.
Step 2: PV Wiring • Turn off the DC switch. • Choose 12 AWG wire to connect the PV module. • Trim 6mm of insulation from the wire end. • Separate the DC connector (PV) as below. • Insert striped cable into pin contact and ensure all conductor strands are captured in the pin contact. •...
• Separate the DC connector (battery) as below. Plug Pin contact cable nut • Insert striped cable into pin contact and ensure all conductor strands are captured in the pin contact. • Crimp pin contact by using a crimping plier. Put the pin contact with striped cable into the corresponding crimping pliers and crimp the contact.

Note: If you don't use the EPS function, the wiring conduct core section can refer to the parameters of table 1. If you use the EPS function, the wiring conduct core section can refer to the parameters of table 2. A micro-breaker for max output overcurrent protection device shall be installed between inverter and grid, and the current of the protection device is referred to the table above, any load SHOULD NOT be connected with the inverter directly.

Wiring diagram for solution Meter1+CT2: Caution: Please do the wiring strictly according to the diagram below, do not exchange Meter1 and Meter2 location in following dual-meter wiring solution, or may lead to unpredictable malfunction in data-recording. You can discern Meter1 or Meter2 from the package of the Meter. Default Modbus address for Meter1 is 1, default Modbus address for Meter2 is 2.

Note! For a precise reading and control of power, a meter can be used instead of a CT. If the CT is fitted in the wrong orientation, anti-backflow function will fail. - RS485 RS485 is a standard communication interface which can transmit the real time data from inverter to PC or other monitoring devices.
