5.1 Safety Instruction

5.
Electrical connection must only be operated by professional technicians. Please keep in mind that the inverter
is a bi-power supply equipment. Before connection, necessary protective equipment must be employed by
technicians, including insulating gloves, insulating shoes and safety helmet.

DANGER
Dangerous to life due to potential fire or electricity shock.
· The PV panel string will produce lethal high voltage when exposed to sunlight.
· Disconnect DC and AC circuit breakers before starting electrical connections.
· Ensure all the cables have no voltage before conducting cable connection

WARNING
· Any improper operations during cable connection can cause device damage or personal injury.
· All cables must be undamaged, firmly attached, properly insulated and adequately dimensioned.

NOTICE
· When power-on, the equipment should be in conformity with national rules and regulations.
· The direct connection between the inverter and high voltage power systems must be operated by qualified technicians in
accordance with local and national power grid standards and regulations.

5.8 AFCI (Optional)

The inverter is equipped with arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI). With AFCI protection, when there is an arc
signal on the DC side due to aging of the cable or loose contact, R6 series can quickly detect and cut off the
power to prevent fire, making the PV system run more safely.

6.4.1 APP Setting The steps of running Self-test are as followed:

Step 1: Connect a communication module (Wi-Fi/ 4G/ Ethernet) with

inverter (connection procedure can refer to eSolar Module Quick
Installation Manual)

Step 2: Select Italy for Country and choose your corresponding Grid
Code from Initial Setting.

Step 3: Start Self-test

You can choose self-test item required. Individual self-test time is

approx. 5 minutes. All self-test time is approx. 40 minutes. After the
self-test is completed, you can save the test report. If self-test is failed, please contact with SAJ or your
inverter supplier.

There are two methods to control the export limit, the two methods are alternative to each other.

Method 1: Export limitation setting is to control the export electricity to the grid.

Method 2: Generation limit is to control the electricity generated by the inverter.

6.5 Self-test (For Italy)

talian Standard CEI0-21 requires a self-test function for all inverter that connected to utility grid. During the
self-testing time, inverter will check the reaction time for over frequency, under frequency, overvoltage and
undervoltage. This self-test is to ensure the inverter is able to disconnect from grid when required. If the
self-test fails, the inverter will not able to feed into the grid.
