Routine maintenance
Scheduled maintenance operations are not mandatory, but are recom-
mended to preserve the efciency of the PV plant.
We recommend that maintenance operations be carried out by qualied personnel or by the
personnel of ABB (as set forth in a maintenance contract).
The periodicity of the maintenance operations may vary in accordance with local environmen-
tal conditions and the installation
Table: routine maintenance
Annual visual inspection
• Check that the inverter is operating correctly, and that no fault alarms are present
• Ensure all the labels and safety symbols are visible
• Test the integrity of the cables, connectors, and plugs external to the inverter
• Check that the environmental conditions have not changed drastically since
the installation of the system
Annual operations • Check that cable glands and connection block screws are tight
• Check that the wiring box cover is properly closed
• If no monitoring system is present, check the history log of alarms and errors
using the instructions given in the manual in order to look for recent malfunction
warnings
Annual cleaning • Clean the equipment; in particular the bottom grille of the wiring box and the
heat sink
Troubleshooting

Alarm Messages
The equipment is able to indicate errors/warnings on the display only if
the input voltage is higher than the Vdcmin voltage (POWER LED ash-
ing or on; see operation chapter).
The messages and their codes are indicated on the display.
The following table gives the complete list of errors/warnings relating to string inverters. Some
error/warning codes may not be used depending on the inverter model installed.
