2. Shut down manually, disconnect AC side circuit breaker first, if multiple
inverters are connected, disconnect the minor circuit breaker prior to
disconnection of main circuit breaker. Disconnect the DC switch after
inverter has reported grid connection lost alarm.

5.7 Self-test (Italy only)

Italian Standard CEI0-21 requires a self-test function for all inverter that
connected to utility grid. During the self-testing time, inverter will check the
reaction time for over frequency, under frequency, overvoltage and
undervoltage. This self-test is to ensure the inverter is able to disconnect
from grid when required. If the self-test fails, the inverter will not able to feed
into the grid.

The steps of running Self-test are as followed:

Step 1:
Connect a communication module (Wi-Fi/ 4G/ Ethernet) with inverter
(connection procedure can refer to eSolar Module Quick Installation Manual)

Step 2:
Select Italy for Country and choose your corresponding Grid Code from
Initial Setting.
