4.3.1 Environment Requirements
Basic Requirements
 The SUN2000 is protected to IP65 and can be installed indoors or outdoors.
 Do not install the SUN2000 in a place where personnel are easy to come into contact
with its enclosure and heat sinks, because these parts are extremely hot during operation.
 Do not install the SUN2000 in areas with flammable or explosive materials.
 Do not install the SUN2000 at a place within children's reach.
 Do not install the SUN2000 outdoors in salt areas because it will be corroded there and
may cause fire. A salt area refers to the region within 500 meters from the coast or prone
to sea breeze. The regions prone to sea breeze vary depending on weather conditions
(such as typhoons and monsoons) or terrains (such as dams and hills).
 The SUN2000 must be installed in a well-ventilated environment to ensure good heat

5.2 Connecting the PE cable


Precautions

 Ensure that the PE cable is properly connected. If it is disconnected or loose, electric


shocks may occur.
 Do not connect the neutral wire to the enclosure as a PE cable. Otherwise, electric shocks
may occur.

 The PE point at the AC output port is used only as a PE equipotential point, and cannot substitute for
the PE point on the enclosure.
 After the ground cable is installed, it is recommended that the silica gel or paint be applied to the
ground terminal for protection.

Additional Information
The SUN2000 has the grounding detection function. This function detects whether the
SUN2000 is grounded properly before its startup, or whether the ground cable is disconnected
when the SUN2000 is running. This function works under limited conditions. To ensure the
safe operation of the SUN2000, ground the SUN2000 properly according to the connection
requirements of the PGND cable. For some power grid types, if the output side of the inverter
is connected to an isolation transformer, ensure that the inverter is properly grounded and set
isolation settings to Input not grounded, with a transformer to enable the inverter to run
properly.

SUN2000-(12KTL, 15KTL, 17KTL, 20KTL)-M0
User Manual 5 Electrical Connections

 According to IEC62109, to ensure safe application in case of the ground cable is


damaged or disconnected, connect the PE cable properly before the grounding detection
function is disabled. Ensure that the PE cable meets at least one of the following
requirements.
− The PE cable is a single-core outdoor copper cable with a conductor cross-sectional
area of at least 10 mm 2.
− Use cables that have the same diameter as the AC output cable, and ground the PE
terminal on the AC connector and the ground screw on the enclosure respectively.
 In some countries and regions, additional ground cables are required for the SUN2000.
In this case, use cables that have the same diameter as the AC output cable, and ground
the PE terminal on the AC connector and the ground screw on the enclosure respectively.

Procedure
Step 1 Crimp the OT terminal.

 Pay attention not to damage the core wire when stripping a cable.
 The cavity formed after crimping the conductor strip of the OT terminal needs to wrap the
core wire completely. The core wire needs to contact the OT terminal closely.
 Wrap the wire crimping area with the heat shrink tubing or the PVC insulation tape. The
following figure uses the heat shrink tubing as an example.
 When using the heat gun, protect devices from being scorched.

 The protection layer of the cable is in the connector. Cut off surplus core wires from the
protection layer. Ensure that the core wires are completely inserted into the cable holes,
and that the cable is securely connected.

6.2 Powering On the System


Precautions

Before turning on the AC switch between the SUN2000 and the power grid, use a multimeter
set to the AC position to check that the AC voltage is within the specified range.

Procedure
Step 1 Turn on the AC switch between the SUN2000 and the power grid.

If the DC is on and the AC is off, the SUN2000 reports a Grid Failure alarm. The SUN2000
starts normally only after the fault is automatically rectified.

Step 2 If there is a DC switch between the PV string and the inverter, turn on the DC switch.
Step 3 Set the DC SWITCH at the bottom of the SUN2000 to the ON position.
Step 4 Wait for about 1 minute, and then observe the LED indicators of the inverter to check the
running status.

Step 2 Connect to the inverter WLAN. Log in as installer, and perform Quick settings.

 When the inverter is directly connected to the mobile phone using the built-in antenna, the distance
between the inverter and mobile phone must be less than 5 m without obstructions in between to
ensure the communication quality between the FusionSolar app and inverter. The distance is for
reference only and may vary depending on mobile phones and whether there are obstructions
between the inverter and the mobile phone.
 When connecting the SUN2000L to the FusionSolar app over a router, ensure that the mobile phone
and inverter are in the WiFi coverage of the router and the SUN2000L is connected to the router.
 The router supports WiFi (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz) and the WiFi signal reaches the inverter.
 The WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2 encryption mode is recommended for routers. Enterprise-level
encryption is not supported (for example, public hotspots requiring authentication such as airport
WiFi). WEP and WPA TKIP are not recommended because these two encryption modes have serious
security defects. If the inverter cannot be connected using WEP, log in to the router and change the
encryption mode to WPA2 or WPA/WPA2. If the inverter cannot be connected using WEP, log in to
the router and change the encryption mode to WPA2 or WPA/WPA2.
