3 - Safety and accident prevention
Safety instructions and general information
The equipment has been manufactured in accordance with the strictest
accident-prevention regulations and supplied with safety devices
suitable for the protection of components and operators.
For obvious reasons, it is not possible to anticipate the great number of installations
and environments in which the equipment will be installed; it is therefore necessary
for the customer to appropriately inform the manufacturer about particular installation
conditions.
Power-one accepts no liability for failure to comply with the instructions
for correct installation are cannot be held responsible for the systems
upstream or downstream of the equipment it has supplied.
It is essential to provide operators with correct information. They must therefore read
and comply with the technical information given in the manual and in the attached
documentation.
TRAINING
The instructions given in the manual do not replace the safety devices
and technical data for installation and operation stuck on the product,
and they certainly do not replace the safety regulations in force in the
country of installation and common sense rules.
The manufacturer is willing to train staff, at its premises or on site, in
accordance with conditions to be set out in the contract.

General conditions
Some recommendation apply only to large size product or multiple small size packings.
Lifting
Power-One usually stores and protects individual components by
suitable means to make their transport and subsequent handling easier,
but as a rule it is necessary to turn to the experience of specialized staff
in change of loading and unloading the components.
Where indicated and/or where there is a provision, eyebolts or handles,
which can be used as anchorage points, are inserted and/or can be
inserted.
The ropes and means used for lifting must be suitable for bearing
the weight of the equipment.
Do not lift several units or or parts of the equipment at the same time,
unless otherwise indicated.

5 - Installation
General conditions
Installation of the equipment is carried out based on the system and the place in which
the equipment is installed; therefore, its performance depends on the correctness of
the connections.
Staff authorised to carry out the installation must be specialised and
experienced in this job; they must also have received suitable training
on equipment of this type.

Installation
Connect all the units to the RS485 chain according to the daisy-chain
scheme observing the correspondence between signals (refer to product manual)
In the last unit of the chain, activate the ending resistance of the communication line through the switching of the dip-switch dedicated
Set on each inverter of the chain an RS485 exclusive address (a different address for each inverter)
The communication line must not exceed 1000m length

Installation
Inside the inverters the connection to the RS485 line can be made indifferently through the couple of connector RJ12/RJ45 (one for the input
and one for the output of the RS485 line) or through the terminal board.
In case of terminal board it must be used RTN, +T/R and -T/R terminals.
In case of RJ12/RJ45 connector the plugs you have to use must be wired accroding to the scheme in following table:

The connection of the RS485 serial line to the converter PVI-USBRS232_485 is made on the terminal board with 4 poles:
To the terminal D- must be connected the terminal -T/R coming from
