Photo of electrical area pre-install (this is where you intend to put the sub board and add any miscallenous items such as henley blocks etc)
-
Photo of intended location of battery & inverter (See Job Pack as to where that is – and ensure customer is happy with this location)
-
Photo(s) of of intended DC cable run (take multiple photos and annotate to show the run)
-

-
Is the number of panels greater than 12?
-
If number of panels are greater than 12 please LIMIT the inverter to 3.68 upon commissioning
Inverter checklist
-
Make sure ALL covers are off when commissioning. Apply covers when finished
-
Are all the DIP switches UP
-
Use the pre made RJ45 cable supplied by GivEnergy in the inverter box. Plug the RJ45 cable in the BMS port of the inverter.
-
The battery cables on the other end of the cable need to be as below. White is Positive and Brown is Negative
-
The data cable running between the grid meter and the inverter needs to be wired as such ( make sure the RJ45 is the right way)
On the inverter side (A RJ45 needs to be made here)
Blue - 6
Blue / white - 7
on the grid meter side:
Blue - 10
Blue / white - 9 -
The CT clamp is wired:
White -1
Black – 2
The arrow should be pointing TOWARDS load -
Is their more than 1 battery
-
Are the batteries 9.5Kwh
-
Make sure the DIP switches are configured as such
-
Look at the wiring diagram for adding more than 1 battery. Make sure the data connections go in the correct ports and make sure the DIP switches are configured properly
-
When connecting the dongle the objective is to make the dongle solid blue(therefore make sure the cover is off). If you are struggling to connect the dongle when following the instructions :
1. Try doing the process on another device
2. Reset the dongle by pressing the black button near the DIP switches
3. Check the customer WIFI to make sure it is dual band and 2.4GHz
