1.1 Removing SUN2000-(8KTL–12KTL)

• Before removing the original SUN2000, ensure that the DC switch on the SUN2000 and all
the switches connected to the SUN2000 are set to OFF. Otherwise, the high voltage of the
SUN2000 may result in electric shocks.
• After the SUN2000 is powered off, the remaining electricity and heat may still cause electric
shocks and body burns. Therefore, put on protective gloves and begin operating the SUN2000
five minutes after the power-off.

Removing Cables from SUN2000-(8KTL–12KTL) for Future Use

1. Power off the SUN2000 to be replaced.
2. Remove the AC connector and remove the AC output power cable from the mating socket for
future use.

Before connecting cables, ensure that the DC switch on the SUN2000 and all the switches
connected to the SUN2000 are set to OFF. Otherwise, the high voltage of the SUN2000 may
result in electric shocks.

It is recommended that silica gel or paint be applied around the ground terminal after the PE
cable is connected.

1.4 Installing the AC Output Power Cable to SUN2000-(8KTL–20KTL)-M2

• Ensure that the protective layer of the AC output power cable is inside the connector, that
the core wires are totally inserted into the cable hole, and that the cable is connected
securely. Failing to do so may cause the device malfunction or damage.

1.5 Installing DC Input Power Cables for SUN2000-(8KTL–20KTL)-M2

1. Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.

2. Use the positive and negative Staubli MC4 metal terminals and DC connectors supplied with
the SUN2000. Using incompatible positive and negative metal terminals and DC connectors
may result in serious consequences. The caused device damage is not covered under warranty.
3. The DC input voltage of the SUN2000 shall not exceed 1080 V DC under any circumstance.
4. Before installing DC input power cables, label the cable polarities to ensure correct cable
connections.
5. If the polarity of the DC input power cables is reversed, do not operate the DC switch as well
as positive and negative connectors immediately. Failing to do so may cause device damage,
which is not covered under warranty. Wait until the night when solar irradiance declines and
the PV string current drops to below 0.5 A. Then set the DC switch to OFF, remove the positive
and negative connectors, and correct the polarity of the DC input power cables.

1. Assemble DC connectors.
