2.2 Installation Space

For ease of installing the SUN2000

on the mounting bracket, connecting
cables to the bottom of the
SUN2000, and maintaining the
SUN2000 in future, it is
recommended that the bottom
clearance be between 600 mm and
730 mm.

3 Installing the SUN2000

The M12x40 bolt assemblies are delivered with

the SUN2000. If the bolt assembly length does
not meet the installation requirements, prepare
M12 bolt assemblies by yourself and use them
together with the delivered M12 nuts. Position for saving a
Before installing the mounting bracket, remove security torx
the security Torx wrench from the mounting wrench
bracket and save it for later use.
This document introduces how to install the
SUN2000 on a support as an example. For
details about wall-mounted installation, see the
user manual.

1. Install the mounting bracket.

2. Unpack the inverter and move it to the specified position.

Handles are packed in a fitting bag and are not delivered with the SUN2000

3. Adjust the installation positions of the handles, and install the SUN2000 on the mounting
bracket.

4 Installing Cables
4.1 Installation Preparations

If outdoor copper-core cables are used, select copper wiring terminals. For details about the
requirements for cables and terminals of other materials, see the user manual.

Note a: The value is valid only if the conductors of the PE cable and AC power cable use the same
material. If the materials are different, ensure that the conductor cross-sectional area of the PE
cable produces a conductance equivalent to that of the area S/2.
Note b: You are advised to use a soft cable to prevent poor terminal contact due to the bending
stress of the cable.

4.2 Installing the PE Cable

It is recommended that the PE cable

be connected to a nearby PE point.
Connect the PE points of all
SUN2000s in the same PV array to
ensure equipotential connections to PE
cables.
To enhance the corrosion resistance of
a ground terminal, you are advised to
apply silica gel or paint on it after
connecting the PE cable.

4.3 Opening the Maintenance Compartment Door

Do not open the host panel of the SUN2000.

Before opening the SUN2000 maintenance compartment door, turn off the downstream AC
output switch and three DC switches at the bottom.
Do not open the maintenance compartment door in rainy or snowy days. If you must, take
protective measures to prevent rain or snow from entering the maintenance compartment.
Do not leave unused screws in the maintenance compartment.

1. Loosen the screws on the maintenance 2. Open the maintenance compartment door

3. Remove the crimping modules and three-hole rubber plug that are bound in the maintenance
compartment for future use.

4.4 (Optional) Replacing the Crimping Module

If the AC output power cable has a single core, replace the crimping module.

8
4.5 Removing the Rubber Rings from the Crimping Module

Use scissors to cut off the joints of the rubber rings to remove them. All rubber rings are removed in
the same way.

4.6 (Optional) Installing the Solar Tracker Power Cable

1. A switch-disconnector-fuse or fuse-switch-disconnector with a voltage of no less than 800 V,

current of 16 A, and protection type of gM needs to be installed between the SUN2000 and the
tracker controller for protection.
2. The cable between the wiring terminal on the power cable and the switch-disconnector-fuse or
fuse-switch-disconnector should be less than or equal to 2.5 meters.

9
4.7 Installing AC Output Power Cables

Remove the corresponding rubber rings in strict accordance with the cable diameter, and ensure
that the crimping module is not damaged. Otherwise the protection level of the solar inverter will
be affected.
Ensure that AC terminations provide firm and solid electrical connections. Failing to do so may
cause SUN2000 malfunction and damage to its terminal block, even starting thermal events.
If the AC output power cables are subject to a pulling force because the inverter is not installed
stably, ensure that the last cable that bears the stress is the PE cable.

4.9 Installing DC Input Power Cables

Wiring Description of Y-branch Connectors

When connecting cables using Y-branch connectors, ensure that all connectors are of the
same model provided by the same vendor.
If connectors of different vendors are connected to each other or different types of connectors
of the same vendor are connected to each other without permission, the contact resistance of
the connectors will exceed the allowed value. As a result, the connectors will be heated and
oxidized continuously, which is prone to faults.
Wiring rules:
1. A maximum of one set of Y-branch connectors can be used for each MPPT.
2. The PV+ on the inverter side must be connected to the PV+ on the PV string side, and the PV
on the inverter side must be connected to the PV on the string side.

Selecting DC Input Terminals

The SUN2000 has three DC switches (DC SWITCH 1, DC SWITCH 2, and DC SWITCH3).
DC SWITCH 1 controls routes 1 6 of DC input terminals, DC SWITCH 2 routes 7 12, and DC
SWITCH 3 routes 13 18.

Select DC input terminals according to the following rules:

1. Evenly distribute the DC input power cables to the DC input terminals controlled by the three DC
switches. DC SWITCH 1 is preferred.
2. Maximize the number of connected MPPT circuits.
3. The even-numbered DC input terminals are preferred.

Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.

1. Use the MC4 EVO2 PV connectors delivered with the SUN2000. If the PV connectors are lost or
damaged, purchase the connectors of the same model. The device damage caused by
incompatible PV connectors is beyond the warranty scope.
2. Before connecting DC input power cables, label the cable polarities to ensure correct cable
connections. If the cables are connected incorrectly, the SUN2000 may be damaged.
3. Measure the voltage at the DC input end using a multimeter. If the voltage is a negative value,
the DC input polarity is incorrect. Correct the polarity. If the voltage is greater than 1500 V, too
many PV modules are configured to the same string. Remove some PV modules.
4. If polarity of the DC input power cable is reversed and the DC switch is ON, do not turn off the
DC switch immediately or unplug positive and negative connectors. The device may be
damaged if you do not follow the instruction. The caused equipment damage is beyond the
warranty scope. Wait until the solar irradiance declines and the PV string current reduces to
below 0.5 A, and then turn off the three DC switches and remove the positive and negative
connectors. Correct the string polarity before reconnecting the string to the SUN2000.

Communication Port Pin Definition

1. The RS485 and MBUS communication modes

are mutually exclusive.
2. When routing communications cables, separate
communications cables from power cables to
prevent communication from being affected.

6 Powering On the System

Before turning on the AC switch between the SUN2000 and the power grid, use a multimeter to
check that the AC voltage is within the specified range.
1. Turn on the AC switch between the SUN2000 and the power grid.
2. Set DC SWITCH 1 (MAIN SWITCH) at the bottom of the SUN2000 chassis to ON.
3. Check the status of LED 1. If it is steady green, set DC SWITCH 2 and DC SWITCH 3 to
ON.
4. Observe the LED indicators to check the SUN2000 operating status.
