7. Maintenance

7.Maintenance

Canadian Solar Mini Single Phase 4G Inverter does not require any regular maintenance.

However, cleaning the dust on heat-sink will help the inverter to dissipate the heat and increase its life time. The dust can be removed with a soft brush.

CAUTION:

Do not touch the inverter's surface when it is operating. Some parts of the inverter may be hot and cause burns. Turn off the inverter (refer to Section 5.2) and wait for a cool-down period before before any maintenance or cleaning operation.

The LCD and the LED status indicator lights can be cleaned with a damp cloth if they are too dirty to be read.

NOTE:

Never use any solvents, abrasives or corrosive materials to clean the inverter.

8. Troubleshooting

The inverter is designed in accordance with the most important international grid-tied standards and safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Before delivering to the customer, the inverter has been subjected to several tests to ensure its optimal operation and reliability.

In case of failure, the LCD screen will display an alarm message. In this case, the inverter may stop feeding into the grid. The failure descriptions and their corresponding alarm messages are listed in Table 8.1:

CSI-xx-KTL-G I :

1. Switch the grid supply main Switch (AC) ON f irst.

2. Switch the DC switch ON. If the voltages of PV arrays are higher than start up voltage, the inverter will turn on. The red LED power will be continuously lit.

3. When both the DC and the AC sides supply to the inverter, it will be ready to generate power. Initially, the inverter will check both its internal parameters and the parameters of the AC grid, to ensure that they are within the acceptable limits. At the same time, the green

LED will lash and the LCD displays the information of INITIALIZING.
