Installation
Connect the Power Wires
WARNING: Shock Hazard
The solar PV array can produce open-circuit voltages in excess of 500 Vdc when
in sunlight. Verify that the solar input breaker or disconnect has been opened
(disconnected) before installing the system wires.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de décharge électrique
Le réseau PV solaire peut produire des tensions de circuit ouvert supérieures à 500 V cc
à la lumière du soleil. Vériez que le coupe-circuit ou l’interrupteur d’entrée solaire a été
ouvert (déconnexion) avant d’installer les câbles du système.
Using the following steps, connect the power conductors corresponding to the lettered
references shown in Figures 3-10 and 3-11 on pages 30-31.
NOTE: Refer to GFPD-600V manual for all product details and specications.
A. Open the main solar and battery disconnects, and GFPD breaker (down). Open all solar
disconnect switches and battery breakers / switches before connecting the power wires to the
controller.
B. Pull the PV and battery wires into the TS-MPPT-600V-TR. The Remote Temperature
Sensor (RTS) and Battery Sense wires can be routed inside conduit along with the battery
power conductors if required. The RTS and Battery Sense wires CANNOT be routed in the
same conduit with the high voltage solar conductors. It is easier to pull the RTS and Battery
Voltage Sense wires before the power cables.
C. Only route high voltage solar circuit conductors in the high voltage wiring zone and low
voltage battery and network conductors within the low voltage zone. Refer to section 3.2 for
more information.
WARNING: Risk of Damage
The grid-tie inveter should be OFF during the next step. Be very certain that the grid-tie
connections are made with correct polarity.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d’endommagement
La grille-cravate inveter devrait être OFF au cours de cette étape. Être très certain que les
connexions réseau sont faites en respectant la polarité.
NOTE: Tighten all new screw terminal connections to specified torque values
REMARQUE : Serrer toutes les nouvelles connexions terminal vis au couple spécifié
de valeurs
D. IMPORTANT: Re-tighten all factory pre-wired screw terminal connections to specified
torque values.
E. Connect grid-tie switch outgoing (+) and (-) wires to the grid-tie inverter solar (+) and (-)
input terminals
WARNING: Risk of Damage
Be very certain that the solar connections are made with correct polarity. Turn on the solar array breaker
/disconnect and measure the voltage on the open wires BEFORE connecting to the TS-MPPT-600V-TR.
Disconnect the solar breaker/disconnect before wiring to the controller.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d’endommagement
Assurez-vous que les connexions solaire sont effectuée avec la polarité correcte. Activez le coupe-
circuit/interrupteur de réseau solaire et mesure la tension sur les câbles ouverts AVANT la connexion au
TS-MPPT-600V-TR. Déconnectez le coupe-circuit/interrupteur solaire avant le câblage sur le contrôleur.
F. Connect one or two sets of (+) and (-) solar array wires to the (+) and (-) solar array input
terminal blocks.
WARNING: Risk of Damage
Be very certain that the battery connection is made with correct polarity. Turn on the battery
breaker/disconnect and measure the voltage on the open battery wires BEFORE connecting
to the TS-MPPT-600V-TR. Disconnect the battery breaker/disconnect before wiring to the
controller.
AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d’endommagement
Assurez-vous que la connexion a la batterie est effectuée avec la polarité correcte.
Activez le coupe-circuit/interrupteur de la batterie et mesure la tension sur les câbles
ouverts AVANT la connexion au TS-MPPT-600V-TR. Déconnectez le coupe-circuit/
interrupteur de la batterie avant le câblage sur le contrôleur.
CONNECT WIRES TO (+) AND (-) BATTERY BANK POSTS (not shown).
G. Extend and connect the (+) and (-) battery wires to the (+) and (-) battery terminals on the
battery termination blocks of the TS-MPPT-600V-TR.
H. The TS-MPPT-600V-TR (option without GFPD) is shipped with unconnected
transfer switch solar battery charging wires. As shown in Figure 3-10 on page 30, connect
these (+) and (-) wires to either the controller's (+) and (-) solar terminal lugs, or route through a
GFPD-600V, and then connect the GFPD return wires to the controller's (+) and (-) solar
terminal lugs.
I. Use copper wire to connect all unit grounding terminal blocks, equipment cases, and any other
metallic system components e.g. PV panel frames, wind turbine, to earth ground. Refer to Step
10 - Grounding and Ground-Fault Interruption for details.
