4. Instalazioa eta konfigurazioa

4.1 Horman muntatzea

The inverter is designed for wall mounting. Choose a location that is dry, well-ventilated, and protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure sufficient clearance around the unit for proper airflow and heat dissipation. Use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall type.

4.2 Sistemaren konexio-diagrama

4.3 Kableatutako konexioak

Follow the diagram above and the labels on the inverter for correct wiring. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated. It is highly recommended that a qualified electrician performs all wiring.

• Eguzki-panelaren konexioa: Connect your solar panels to the designated PV input terminals. Observe correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). The maximum DC input voltage 120 VDC da.
• Bateria konexioa: Connect the 24V battery bank to the battery terminals. Ensure correct polarity. The inverter supports AGM, lead-acid, gel, and flooded lithium-ion batteries.
• Korronte alternoko sarrera (sarea/sorgailua): Connect the AC utility grid or a generator to the AC input terminals. This provides backup power and can charge batteries.
• Korronte alternoko irteera (kargak): Konektatu etxeko kargak korronte alternoko irteerako terminaletara.

4.4 Hasierako piztea

After all connections are made and verified:

1. Turn on the battery breaker.
2. Turn on the solar panel breaker (if applicable).
3. Turn on the AC input breaker (if connected to grid/generator).
4. Turn on the inverter's power switch.
5. Observe the display for status indicators and initial readings.

5. Funtzionamendu moduak

The PNI GreenHouse SC1800C PRO offers intelligent energy management with several configurable operating modes:

• Solar Priority Mode (SBU): In this mode, the inverter prioritizes power consumption from solar energy. If solar power is insufficient, it will draw from batteries. The utility grid acts as a backup.
• Bateria lehentasunezko modua: The inverter prioritizes drawing power from the batteries. Solar energy will charge the batteries. The utility grid is used only when battery voltage ezarritako atalase baten azpitik jaisten da.
• Utility Priority Mode (UPS): This mode prioritizes power from the utility grid. Solar energy will charge the batteries. The inverter switches to battery power only when the grid is unavailable, functioning as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

These modes can be configured via the inverter's multifunction display and dedicated menu for advanced settings.

5.1 Jarraipena

The inverter supports monitoring through:

• PC Software (USB): Connect the inverter to a PC using the provided USB cable and dedicated software for detailed monitoring and analysis of parameters.
• Remote Monitoring (WiFi - Optional): With the optional PNI Smart Dongle-WLAN, you can monitor the inverter remotely via a mobile application or web interfazea.

6. Mantentzea

Mantentze-lan erregularrak zure inbertsorearen errendimendu optimoa eta iraupena bermatzen ditu. Deskonektatu beti energia-iturri guztiak edozein mantentze-lan egin aurretik.

• Garbiketa: Aldian-aldian garbitu inbertsorearen kanpoaldea oihal lehor batekin. Ziurtatu aireztapen-irekiduretatik hautsik eta hondakinik gabe daudela. Ez erabili garbitzaile likidorik.
• Konexioaren egiaztapenak: Annually inspect all wiring connections (solar, battery, AC input/output) for tightness and signs of corrosion. Tighten any loose connections.
• Bateriaren ikuskapena: If using lead-acid batteries, check electrolyte levels and terminal condition as per battery manufacturer guidelines.
• Ingurumen-kontrola: Ziurtatu instalazio-ingurunea tenperatura eta hezetasun-tarte jakin batzuen barruan mantentzen dela.
