Installation and wiring

Installation
The PV combiner box needs to use the U-shaped clamp inside the accessory, pass through the mounting bracket
on the back of the box, and fix it on the solar panel bracket with the flat pad and the locknut M10.

DC lightning indicator turns red DC SPD damaged Replace DC SPD

Overhaul the load and close air-switch

Replace the relay

Replace DC SPD
The DC SPD is mainly used to absorb and suppress lightning surge when lightning comes to protect back-end
circuit. When the window color of DC SPD turns from green to red, the SPD has failed and must be replaced.

Previous preparations:
1) Prepared tools and materials: anti-static wrist strap / gloves, Phillips screwdriver, slotted screwdriver, wire
cutter, cable ties and anti-static box / bag.
2) Confirmed the DC SPD model to be replaced and prepare a new DC SPD.

Operation steps
Step one: Wear anti-static wrist strap or anti-static gloves.
Step two: Disconnect power supply.

The DC SPD must be replaced in case of power failure to avoid personal injury.

Step three: Remove the cables form DC SPD in turn, insulate and label them during removing.
Pull out the DC SPD and then remove it as shown.

Remove DC SPD

Step four: Place the new SPD on corresponding fixed rail and push it to ensure that the SPD is installed securely.
Step five: Wire cables back to the DC SPD in accordance with the labels.
Step six: Switch on the power and confirm that the DC SPD alarm disappears.
Step seven: Determine whether the SPD is working normally in accordance with the window color of which.
Normally, the SPD window is green
Step eight: Remove your anti-static wrist strap or anti-static gloves and put away the tools.
