Definitions

Inverter For the purposes of this manual, Inverter specifically means MIL-Solar Eclipse

Inverter. The Inverter is a device used to convert DC power from photovoltaic solar

cells to AC power for injection into a power grid.

AC Mains or Grid The public AC Mains network of electricity lines or Grid to which all categories of

consumers are connected and as operated by a supply or distribution company.

When solar Inverters are installed on a domestic or commercial site, they are

connected to this AC Mains Grid for the purpose of supplying electrical energy back

into the Grid.

Front view and Connections

Status LED Indicators

The MIL-Solar Eclipse Inverter has three LED indicators for displaying information about the current state of

operation. These indicators have different colours associated with their function.

For further details see Inverter Operation on page 23 for standard operation, communications, alerts and

alarms details.

Serial Number

Every Eclipse Inverter has a unique serial number displayed on its serial label located on the lower left hand

side of the Inverter. This serial number is required for registering your equipment for electrical installation

and for any warranty or service claims.

INSTALLING THE ECLIPSE INVERTER

Safety Considerations

Selecting the Mounting Location

When selecting installation location of your Eclipse Inverter, you must consider and address all of the following

points:

Air circulation

The Inverter generates some heat when operating. It must only be installed in

an area with adequate natural free flowing ventilation.

Vertical orientation

The Inverter must be mounted in a vertical orientation to ensure proper cooling.

The end of the housing with the connection points must always point

downwards.

Do not mount tilted at an angle to the vertical. Do not mount horizontally.

Direct sunlight

To avoid power reduction due to excessive heating do not expose the Inverter to

direct sunlight. Optimal operating performance is achieved when the ambient

temperature is below 40o C.

Shielded location

The Inverter can be located on a building in an outdoor location but should be

mounted in a position that is sheltered from direct rain.

Wall mounting

requirements

The mounting method and location must be suitable for the Inverter's weight and

dimensions and it must be mounted on a solid surface.

(Refer to section Mounting on page 9 for mounting instructions)

Access

Access to the Inverter, and especially any associated isolating switches, must

be in accordance with the specific requirements of the relevant AUS/NZ

standards.

The mounting location must at all times be clear and have safe access without

the use of additional aids such as ladders or lifting platforms.

User visibility

Mount the Inverter at a height, and in such a position that visibility cannot be

blocked to allow the operating status LEDs to be seen at all times.

Noise

The Inverter can make noises when in use, which may be perceived as a

nuisance in a living or sleeping area.

Do not mount the unit on plasterboard walls or similar to avoid audible

vibrations.

Location regards

other equipment

The minimum horizontal clearance distances to walls and other objects to

ensure sufficient air circulation for cooling is 100 mm.

Special consideration must be given where multiple Inverters are installed in the

same area. As a minimum, all clearance distances are additive.

DO NOT mount Inverters above each other or other heat generating equipment.

DANGER

Danger to life and property.

Breach of Government legislation.

Voiding of Warranty.

All electrical installation and commissioning work undertaken on the Inverter, and the

related connections to isolators, photovoltaic panels, optional accessories and house wiring

systems must only be carried out by suitably qualified and licensed personnel.

CAUTION

Failure to install or operate the Inverter in the manner as specified by these Installation

instructions may impair, or render inoperable, the protection systems provided by the

equipment.

HOT SURFACES

Parts of the enclosure can become hot in normal operation. In high ambient temperatures the

body and upper surface of the enclosure may become hot to touch.

CAUTION - Electromagnetic Radiation

Do not install the Inverter in a location where people may be closer than 20 cm distance for any

length of time.

Page 8of 52 MIL-Solar Eclipse series Installation and Operation Manual PNo 6569 Rev 5

Mounting Location Dimension

When selecting where to install your Eclipse Inverter, ensure the Inverter meets minimum clearances with

respect to the selected load bearing mounting points.

WiFi Access

If the Eclipse Inverter’s WiFi connection is to be used continually by the customer, then consideration must

be given to any metal structures near or around the Inverter which can affect the WiFi signal.

Mounting

The Eclipse Inverter must be attached to a flat surface such as timber, masonry or a dedicated pole

assembly. The mounting bracket contains eight pre-drilled 8mm holes for attaching it to the wall.

Mark and drill at least four mounting holes, using the bracket as a template and attach the mounting bracket

securely to the wall.

All cables must have sufficient length and bend radius before entry into conduit so that strain is not placed on

the plugs or sockets where they connect to the inverter.

Weight Bearing

The wall structure on which the Inverter is to be mounted must adequately support its weight of 23 kg.

A minimum of four M6 fasteners must be used to securely install the mounting bracket onto the supporting

structure. Always use correct fasteners for the structure being fixed to.

CAUTION –Wall mounting strength

DO NOT mount on plasterboard, thin sheet cladding or sheetmetal unless you can

absolutely ensure that all mounting points are fixed into suitably supporting structural

members such as timber or metal studs.

CAUTION –Dissimilar metals

DO NOT mount directly onto galvanised steel.

WARRANTY

Installing the Inverter incorrectly will invalidate the warranty.

Please see Eclipse Inverter Australian Warranty on page 52 for terms and conditions.

Page 10 of 52 MIL-Solar Eclipse series Installation and Operation Manual PNo 6569 Rev 5

Install Inverter on mounting bracket

Lift and place the top of the Eclipse Inverter over the mounting bracket and lower it until the Inverter weight is

borne by the bracket.

Slide slightly from side to side to ensure that it has dropped into its fully seated position.

Secure the Inverter to the bracket

Before undertaking any wiring or connections, the Inverter must be secured to the

mounting bracket using the M5 fastener provided.

CAUTION –Manual Handling

The Inverter weighs over 23 kg

Care must be taken when lifting and placing the Inverter on mounting bracket.
