1 Introduction

This manual is suitable for the PowerRouter Solar Battery types: PR30SB (3000W), PR37SB (3700W) and PR50SB (5000W).
The manual is intended for certified installers to mount, wire and commission the PowerRouter unit.
The PowerRouter is a DC to AC grid-tied utility unit for use with Photovoltaics (PV) and battery backup storage. The PowerRouter can be
used for feed-in purposes. The optional AC local output of the PowerRouter supplies a no-break supply to the connected load in the event
of a grid failure. For more information visit: www.PowerRouter.com.

2 Safety

!
Before installing or using the PowerRouter, read all of the instructions, cautions, and warnings on the PowerRouter, the solar array and
battery bank and in this installation manual. Before connecting the PowerRouter to the electric grid, contact the local utility company. Solar
arrays produce electrical energy when exposed to light and can thus create an electric shock hazard. Wiring of the solar arrays should only be
WARNINg
performed by qualified personnel. To prevent short circuiting of the battery, an isolated box wrench should be used.
The PowerRouter contains no user-serviceable parts. For all repairs and maintenance, contact your installer/dealer.
Anti-islanding protection
The PowerRouter has a built-in anti-islanding protection functionality in compliance with local regulations.
During a utility failure, the PowerRouter unit will disconnect from the grid. With the optional "Local Out" you may continue supplying your
loads in this event.
Solar Series fusing
Serial fusing may be required depending on the type of PV module and configuration used in the system.
CE Compliance
The PowerRouter is compliant according to CE Directive.

3 Mounting

This chapter provides guidelines to help select the best mounting location, provides suggestions to ensure optimum performance, cautions
and warnings that you should follow in order to avoid injury and equipment damage. Also included are step-by-step instructions for
mounting the PowerRouter.
3�1 Choosing a mounting location
Take into account the following guidelines, cautions, and warnings when choosing a mounting location for the PowerRouter:
• The PowerRouter is designed for indoor installations (IP21)
• Do not install the PowerRouter in direct sunlight
• Do not install the PowerRouter on flammable construction materials
• Do not install the PowerRouter in areas where highly flammable materials are stored
• Do not install the PowerRouter in potentially explosive areas!
• Do not install the PowerRouter during periods of precipitation or high humidity (>95%); moisture trapped within the location may cause
corrosion and damage to the electronic components
• Provide adequate ventilation when using batteries, and also read the warning label on the bottom of the PowerRouter
• Install the PowerRouter in a location that maintains an ambient air temperature that is less than 40 °C; this is to maintain a safe internal
component temperature, the PowerRouter reduces power if the ambient air temperature exceeds 40 °C
• The PowerRouter should be installed in a location that is not accessible for children
• The PowerRouter emits a slight vibrating noise when operating. This noise is normal and has no effect on performance, but it can
be disturbing if the unit is mounted on a wall in a living area, on the outside of a wall that is near a living area, or on certain types of
materials, such as thin wood panelling or sheet metal
• The slope of the wall should be within ± 5°
• The PowerRouter weighs 20.5 kg; ensure that the mounting surface is strong enough to hold the weight of the PowerRouter
• The bottom of the PowerRouter is provided with a label showing the ratings; the PowerRouter must be mounted in such a manner that

If you are installing the PowerRouter in a cabinet, closet or other relatively small enclosed area, sufficient air circulation must be provided
in order to dissipate the heat generated by the unit. To prevent electric shock or other injury, check for existing electrical or plumbing
installations in the walls before drilling mounting holes for the PowerRouter.
