Resolution:
CAUTION!
These instructions are intended for use by authorized service personnel who have training, knowledge, and experience in:
• Installing electrical equipment and PV power systems (up to 1000 V)
• Applying all applicable installation codes
• Analyzing and reducing the hazards involved in performing electrical work
• Selecting and using personal protective equipment
Perform LOTO to make sure all energy in the inverter is zero.
-
Wearing appropriate PPE, remove the lock‑out and tag‑out devices from the AC auxiliary supply.
- If your system’s auxiliary is supplied from the AC mains, remove the LOTO devices from the main AC circuit breaker.
- Energize only AC power—all PV/DC inputs must remain off and locked out.
-
Turn ON the AC auxiliary supply (or AC mains) and verify that ST1 powers up.
- The inverter ON/OFF switch must be in the ON position.
-
Upon powering up, ST1 initializes and then shows its settings.
- Follow the instructions supplied with ST1 to check and, if necessary, change the following settings.
- (See the attached PDF for how to navigate the ST1 settings.)
