Heat Sign Burn hazard, if not follow instruction may be

burned. Use extreme caution and follow instructions

carefully.

Safety Instructions：

 Be aware that the body of the Microinverters is the heat sink and can reach
a temperature of 80 ℃ under extreme conditions. To reduce risk of burns,
do not touch.

Please install the inverter where children can not reach to reduce risk of

shock and burns. Minors and mental patients prohibition use of this
products.

 Perform all electrical installations in accordance with all local electrical codes.
 Be aware that only qualified personnel should install and/or replace Microinverters.
 Connect the Microinverter to the electrical utility grid only after receiving prior approval from the utility
company，and only qualified electrical engineer can perform the operation.
 Non-professionals do not disassemble or repair the inverter. If the inverter fails, please contact your
dealer or manufacturer.
 Before installing or using the Microinverter, please read all instructions and cautionary markings in the
technical description and on the Microinverter system and the PV-array.
 Please install the inverter in ventilated place and away from flammable materials.
 Do NOT disconnect the PV module from the Microinverter before removing AC power.
 The inverter transform solar photovoltaic (PV) DC power into AC power and fed into the power grid. Do
not use this product for other purposes, for any damage and loss resulting from non-intended use, the
manufacturer / supplier disclaims all responsibility.

Description：Connect 4PCS of solar panel to 1pc of MaySun1200W Microinverter. The inverter use
MPPT function to absorb the maximum energy from solar panels, then use high efficiency inverter
conversion to transform the DC to AC, and then use the synchronous high-frequency modulation
and 0 phase offsets technology to achieve delivery the energy input to the utility grid.

3. Installation
3.1 Notes before installation
3.1.1 Check the product and the parts if complete, the list as below:

Product or parts name Quantity

MaySun-1200W Microinverter 1

User Manual 1

Screws 1

Auxiliary support 1

AC cable 1

3.1.2 Check the installation Ambient if as requested：

 Local ambient temperature is -20℃~60℃；
 No easy corrosive gas or liquid nearby；
 Not be installed in easily flooded or snow-covered areas；
 Not be installed in an enclosed or non-ventilated place；
 Prohibition install it near flammable materials；
 Not be installed in direct sunlight；
 Install the Microinverter in the place where children can not touch.

3.1.3 Solar panel if as requested：

 Recommend to use 60cells or 72cells solar panel，the Voc must be in the range of the
inverter’s operation voltage range. If you use 36cells solar panel, you can connect 2pcs
in series then connect to Micoinverter, and the total power can’t over 350W.
 There have 4 input ports of the MaySun-1200W，we recommend to use 4pcs of solar
panel to connect with the Microinverte.
 MaySun-1200W input port use standard MC4 connector, please check if there have

 LED stable green ：Microinverter work，MPPT locked.
 LED flicker green：Microinverter work，MPPT is been tracking.
3、 LED in red：
 LED stable red：protection statue， check ○ 1 DC voltage if low（below 10.5V）or high（above

50V）○Utility grid power off or the utility voltage is not match the Microinverter ○
2 3 Short circuit

of AC terminal.
 Red Green Flashing：○ 1 Microinverter start to work；○ 2 input voltage or current not stable, pls

check if there have enough current from the solar panel.

4. Steps for replace fault Microinverter：

1、 Use opaque object to cover the solar panels which connect to the fault Microinverter；
2、 Disconnect the fault Microinverter and utility grid；
3、 Disconnect the fault Microinverter and AC cable；
4、 Disconnect the fault Microinverter and solar panel；
