⚫ The product itself is intact without any damage.
⚫ The product itself and all internal equipment are intact without any
damage.

5.3 Installation Environment Requirements

5.3.1 Location Requirements

⚫ When selecting the installation site, the climatic environment and geological
conditions (such as stress wave emission and groundwater level) of the
installation site shall be fully considered.

⚫ The surrounding environment is dry and well ventilated.

⚫ Ensure that there are no trees around the installation location to prevent the
product door or air inlet from being blocked by branches or leaves blown off by
strong wind.

⚫ Keep away from areas where toxic and harmful gases are concentrated.

⚫ Keep away from flammable, explosive and corrosive materials.

⚫ To avoid noise, the product should be installed far away from residential areas.

⚫ The inverter is installed outdoors, and sunshade is recommended in high


temperature areas.

5.3.2 Foundation Requirements

⚫ The soil on the installation site needs to have a certain compactness. It is

23 /
User Manual
recommended that the relative density of the soil at the installation site should be
≥ 98%. If the soil is loose, be sure to take measures to ensure that the foundation
is stable.
⚫ The bottom of foundation pit for foundation construction must be tamped and
leveled to provide sufficient and effective support for products.
⚫ The foundation shall be higher than the level ground to prevent rainwater from
eroding the product base and interior.
⚫ The cross-sectional area and height of the foundation shall meet the requirements.
⚫ Cable wiring shall be considered when constructing the foundation.
⚫ The threading pipe shall be embedded at the ground base according to the position
of the product inlet hole.
⚫ A drainage system shall be built to prevent the product bottom or internal products

When the inverter fails to output as expected or the power generation changes
abnormally, please pay attention to the following items before consulting TBEA Xi'an
Electric Technology Co., Ltd.:
⚫ Open circuit voltage of photovoltaic array
⚫ Whether the emergency stop button is pressed
⚫ Whether the inverter limits the output of active power
With the help of this manual, if you still cannot solve the problem or still have
questions, please contact TBEA Xi'an Electric Technology Co., Ltd. In order to provide
more efficient services, it is recommended to provide the following information
synchronously when calling:
⚫ Model and serial number of inverter and internal equipment
⚫ Manufacturer, model and other information of PV modules connected to the
inverter and the previous stage combiner
⚫ Communication connection scheme of inverter

9.1.2 Troubleshooting method

The fault level of inverter is divided into the following:


⚫ Important fault: the inverter will be shut down after fault, and the grid-connected
power generation will be stopped.
⚫ General fault: some parts of the inverter fail, but still can be connected to the grid
for power generation.
⚫ Prompt fault: the inverter functions normally, because its output power decreases
due to external factors.

10.1 Maintenance precautions

DANGER!

⚫ Improper maintenance operation may cause personal injury or equipment


damage!
⚫ Before maintenance, the switch between the product and all power
supplies must be disconnected.
⚫ The maintenance operation needs to be carried out by professional
personnel wearing protective equipment 30 minutes after the inverter is
powered off, using detection equipment to ensure that there is no voltage
and current.

DANGER!

⚫ If the switch between the product and all power supplies is not
disconnected and the internal switch of the DC side combiner box is not
disconnected (to ensure that the DC cable is in a dead state) for
maintenance, there is a risk of personal injury or equipment damage, and
TBEA Xi'an Electric Technology Co., Ltd. will not bear any responsibility
for the resulting losses.

DANGER!

⚫ There is high voltage in the equipment in the inverter, and accidental


contact may cause fatal electric shock!

95 /
User Manual
⚫ When conducting live measurement, it is required that professional
personnel familiar with the photovoltaic system do a good job of
protection (such as wearing insulating gloves, etc.).
⚫ During live measurement, the operator must be accompanied by others to
ensure personal safety.

DANGER!

Damaged equipment or system failure may cause electric shock or fire!


⚫ Conduct preliminary visual inspection for equipment damage or other
hazards before operation.
⚫ Check whether other external equipment or circuit connections are safe.
⚫ Confirm that the equipment is in a safe state before operation.

WARNING!

⚫ During operation and maintenance, if equipment replacement is involved,


please contact TBEA Xi'an Electric Technology Co., Ltd.
⚫ Do not maintain the product in rainy, wet or windy weather, otherwise,
TBEA Xi'an Electric Technology Co., Ltd. will not bear any responsibility
for the possible consequences.
⚫ For products with long downtime, before power-on, the products must be
thoroughly and carefully inspected. First, ensure that the products and
internal equipment are intact, and then ask professional personnel to
check and test before power-on and continue to put into use.

WARNING!

⚫ Do not open the door for maintenance in rainy, wet or windy weather.
TBEA Xi'an Electric Technology Co., Ltd. will not be responsible for any
loss caused by failure to avoid it.

DANGER!

After maintenance, do not leave screws, washers and other metal parts in the
inverter, otherwise the product may be damaged! TBEA Xi'an Electric
Technology Co., Ltd. will not bear any responsibility for the losses caused
thereby.

ATTENTION!

⚫ In order to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not carry out other
maintenance items beyond this manual. If necessary, contact TBEA Xi'an
Electric Technology Co., Ltd. for maintenance, otherwise the loss caused
will not be covered by the warranty.

WARNING!

⚫ In order to prevent irrelevant personnel from approaching equipment


misoperation or accident. Place eye-catching warning signs or safety
warning tapes around the equipment to prevent accidents caused by
misoperation.

ATTENTION!

The table is only the recommended product routine maintenance cycle. The
actual maintenance cycle should be reasonably determined in combination with
the specific installation environment of the product.
The scale, location and site environment of the power station will affect the
maintenance cycle of the product. If the operating environment is windy or
dusty, it is very necessary to shorten the maintenance period and increase the
maintenance frequency.

plate of the AC cabinet (pink area B in Figure 10-1 and Figure 10-2). Clean the air
inlet as follows:
⚫ Unscrew the screws around the air inlet.
⚫ Replace the dustproof cotton or clean the dust on the dust cotton.

WARNING!

The density of the dust-proof cotton used in the inverter unit is 30ppi. Please
replace the same dust-proof cotton. Otherwise, the inverter may overheat or
reduce the protection level of the inverter and reduce the reliability of the
inverter. TBEA Xi'an Electric Technology Co., Ltd. will not bear any
responsibility for the losses caused thereby.

⚫ Fix the air inlet with screws again.
