5.3.2 External connections of the control cabinet DANGER! Life-threatening danger from missing overload / lightning protection. No lightning / overvoltage protection is installed for the communication lines. If the lines should leave the building in which the HSI500 / HSI640 / HSI1000 / HSI1250 is located, appropriate lightning protection must be installed by an authorized electrician. NOTICE! Material damage from improper routeing of cable. Use the available wiring conduit to route the cable within the control cabinet.
The supply, feedback and communication lines are connected to the control cabinet as external connections. 1. There are two different possibilities for connecting the external voltage supply. Both possibilities are achieve through the terminal strip X9 (6, see page 47). The inverter is supplied directly from the 270 / 300 V IT network. For this purpose, the connection takes place at terminals 1 and 2 of the terminal strip X9. The voltage is converted to 230 V TN using the auxiliary transformer -T1 (5, see page 47). The inverter is operated directly with a supply voltage of 230 V TN. Connect the supply to the terminals 6 to 8 of the terminal strip X9 (6, see page 47).
49
Installation
2. The data communication between the inverter and the monitoring system takes place through the Ethernet interface of the control cabinet (HSI500 / HSI640 each have one and the HSI1000 / HSI1250 each have two Ethernet connections). Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet connection (1, see page 47). For further information about the monitoring system, the latest version is available for download at www.helios-systems.net. 3. Every inverter has zero potential signal and control contacts which can be used as necessary. "Inverter ready" changeover contact, connection X2A, terminals 1 to 3.

Operating states
7 Operating states
After commissioning, the central inverter runs through operating states described below. The parameters that cause the central inverter to change to a certain operating state are prescribed.
7.1 Standby
If the solar generator voltage is below Umpp min, the central inverter switches to "Standby" mode. The central inverter is connected to the grid via the grid contactor K1.
7.2 Start up
If the solar generator voltage increases to 50 V above Umpp min, infeed mode is started. If the solar generator current falls below the minimum value, infeed mode switches off for 30 seconds. If the solar generator voltage increases to 50 V above Umpp min, infeed mode is switched on again. If the solar generator current is continuously above the minimum value, the central inverter is in normal mode and infeed is continuous. Start-up can require various attempts; if necessary, a pause of a few minutes must be observed after several attempts.
7.4 Shutdown
If the solar generator current drops below the minimum value, initially only the infeed operation is switched off. If the solar generator voltage drops below Umpp min, the central inverter is disconnected from the grid by opening the grid contactor K1.
54
Operating states
7.5 Stop
Fault monitoring is active in each operating state. If a fault occurs, all functions of the central inverter will be stopped automatically. An error message will be shown on the display. If the cause of the fault is eliminated, the central inverter returns to "Standby" mode after a wait time.
