Definitions

Inverter For the purposes of this manual, Inverter specifically means a grid connected

Solar Inverter. The Inverter is a device used to convert DC power from photo

voltaic solar cells to AC power for injection into a power grid.

Mains or Grid The public mains network of electricity lines 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 mains grid for the purpose of supplying electrical energy back

into the grid.

Symbols

Special symbols used throughout this manual.

NOTICE

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or

moderate injury and/or damage or failure of the Inverter.

DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or

serious injury or potential fire risk.

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 20 for standard operation, communications, alerts and

alarms details.

Serial Number

Your Eclipse Inverter has been given a unique serial number at time of manufacture. This serial number is

required for registering your equipment for electrical installation and for any warranty or service claims.

The serial number is displayed on a label located on the lower left hand side of the Inverter near the mains

connection.

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

Solar Inverters generate heat when operating. They must only be installed in areas 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 is

belowtemperature 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 weather such as rain and hail.

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 8 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 heat dissipation 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 and house wiring systems must only be

carried out by suitably qualified and licensed personnel.

WARNING

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.

CAUTION –High temperature

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

the body and upper surface and 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.

MIL-Solar Eclipse series Manual V2 Page 7of 48

Mounting Location

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.

514mm

512mm

Page 8of 48 MIL-Solar Eclipse series Manual V2

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.

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.

WARANTY

Installing the Inverter incorrectly will invalidate the warranty.

Please see section “Warranty” on page 47 for terms and conditions.

MIL-Solar Eclipse series Manual V2 Page 9of 48

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.

WIRING

Overall System Wiring Diagram

This diagram shows the full wiring diagram of an Eclipse Inverter including the optional power meter.

The Export Limit and “MyPower” features of the Inverter require the installation of the power meter in

the overall supply to the installation. As shown below, this sensor must be installed such that it

measures the total site power at the point of connection to the Grid supply.

Mains connection

Recommended AC circuit breaker

The breaker must be rated for bidirectional power flow at 32A. Sizing of all AC wiring for the Inverter

must comply with AS/NZS electrical standards in accordance with the AC breaker and Isolator

employed.

Wire Size

Wire size is critical as undersized wiring can lead to significant power losses and a reduction

in system efficiency.

AC Isolator

The AC connection must comply with Section 4 of AS/NZS 4777.1. The AC wiring scheme to the

Inverter must include an isolating device in compliance with this standard and be capable of safely

disconnecting under conditions of the maximum ratings as specified above.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY STANDARDS - QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY

All wiring must be in strict accordance with all local electrical and safety regulations, and in

full compliance with all applicable standards as required by AS/NZS3000. All wiring and

electrical works must carried out by suitably qualified and licensed electricians.

CAUTION

Using undersized wiring can result in a serious safety and fire risk to equipment and

property.
