IBC SOLAR ServeMaster 1600 MV Manuel D'utilisateur page 6

The test works by activating the input one by one. The test takes 1-2 minutes and the inverter
continues to produce energy meanwhile. In menu B the result of the test can be read in the display
menu called PV configuration.
Upon test completion the display will automatically show the PV configuration detected; however,
only if the buttons on the display have not been used in the past 3 minutes.
For ServeMaster 4600, 2 out of 3 DC modules must be powered for the test to run. If not enough
PV power is available to power 2 modules, the test is postponed until sufficient PV power is avail-
able for the second DC module to run.
Notice that the inverter continues to produce energy in the meantime.

The status field may show the following:
Display Text Description
IDLE PV configuration test has not yet been run. Shown before the inverter connects to
grid.
OFF PV configuration test is disabled. Applicable to ServeMaster 1650 and to inverters
where the test is otherwise disabled.
WAITING The PV configuration test is ready to run, but only solar radiation for one PV input
is available. (Applicable to ServeMaster 4600, the inverter can only determine the
configuration of all three modules, when two are running)
PV-AUTODETECTING The PV configuration test is running. No result yet.
INDIVIDUAL The PV modules are connected in individual string configuration
PARALLEL 1-2* The PV configuration has ended, concluding that inputs 1 and 2 are connected in
parallel string configuration.
PARALLEL 1-3* The PV configuration has ended, concluding that inputs 1 and 3 are connected in
parallel string configuration.
PARALLEL 2-3* The PV configuration has ended, concluding that inputs 2 and 3 are connected in
parallel string configuration.
PARALLEL 1-2-3 The PV configuration has ended, concluding that inputs 1, 2 and 3 are connected
in parallel string configuration.

*) The "PARALLEL 1-2" is only allowed for the ServeMaster 2750 / 3300 inverter. The "PARALLEL
1-2", "PARALLEL 1-3", and "PARALLEL 2-3" is not allowed for the ServeMaster 4600 inverter.
The display readout shows the status of the
test. The first line shows that this concerns the
