Installation Manual Ilumen PIDbox Mini v1.5

7 COMMISSIONING

7.1 CHECK

Do a final check whether everything is properly mounted and connected (see chapter 5 and 6 for

details):

 The PV frames are all connected to the same earth as the earth pin of the Ilumen PIDbox

mini

 The PV and inverter DC cables are correctly connected

 Unused DC inputs and outputs are terminated with a corresponding sealing plug

 The DC side of DC power supply is correctly connected

If all these points are installed correctly you can start up the Ilumen PIDbox mini.

7.2 STARTING UP THE ILUMEN PID SOLUTION

The Ilumen PIDbox mini can only work in an automatic mode. To start up the Ilumen PIDbox

mini, plug in the DC power supply into a standard AC outlet (This outlet must be on at all times).

Next see if the LED light on the Ilumen PIDbox mini starts burning. After checking the system it

will be switched on automatically.

When the Ilumen PIDbox mini is hooked up correctly to the inverter you will see the following

status LED readouts.

 BLUE: device is switched on, is in standby mode, measures a voltage on

the PV wires

 GREEN: device is switched on, is in standby mode, measures a current

on the PV wires

 CYAN: BLUE & GREEN combined mode, so voltage and current is

measured.

 RED: device is switched on and cures the PV system

 It is normal for the LED to be out at the beginning and at the end of the night

After start-up you may turn the DC switch of the inverter back on, followed by the AC side of the

PV plant.

8 INSTALLATION SUMMARY

1) Take the necessary safety precautions (AC side of the PV plant off and DC switch of the

inverter off).

2) Mount the Ilumen PIDbox mini on a flat surface or if not available mount it correctly to a

wall using the wall bracket.

3) Connect the Ilumen PIDbox mini earth pin to the frames of the PV modules and check the

interconnections between the PV casings.

4) Disconnect the PV array cables from the inverter.
