Mounting¶
Mount the inverter vertically on a solid wall in a shaded location. Avoid direct sunlight on the enclosure.
Clearance requirements:
Top: ≥ 300 mm
Bottom: ≥ 300 mm
Sides: ≥ 200 mm
Front: ≥ 700 mm (service access)
Heat dissipation
Never install inside a sealed cabinet. The inverter requires airflow for cooling.
Wiring¶
Panel String 1+ ──→ DC+ Input 1
Panel String 1- ──→ DC- Input 1
Panel String 2+ ──→ DC+ Input 2
Panel String 2- ──→ DC- Input 2
Before wiring
Ensure the AC breaker and DC disconnect are OFF before making any connections.
| Inverter Terminal | Connect to |
|---|---|
| L (Line) | Phase from DB |
| N (Neutral) | Neutral from DB |
| PE (Ground) | Earth from DB |
Monitoring¶
After wiring, connect to the inverter's WiFi hotspot (SE-PRO5K-XXXX) using the Elephantronics app to configure your home WiFi credentials.
Once connected, the dashboard shows:
- Real-time power output (W)
- Daily / monthly / yearly energy yield (kWh)
- Grid export / import values
- Fault code history
Troubleshooting¶
| Error Code | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
E001 | Grid voltage out of range | Check utility voltage; may be a grid issue |
E003 | Isolation fault | Inspect panel wiring for ground fault |
E012 | Over temperature | Check ventilation clearances |
E025 | Communication lost | Check WiFi credentials and router |
Factory Reset
Hold the reset button for 10 seconds to restore factory settings. WiFi credentials will need to be re-entered.
