3 Safety
3.1 Safety in general
Please read the following safety information and instructions before you put the
GridManager with FEED-IN function into operation for the first time, in order to avoid
personal injuries and/or property damage. These instructions must be complied with
at all times.
If you are not able to understand the language used in this documentation sufficiently,
please contact and inform the supplier of the situation.
Do not try to attempt to install or put the GridManager with FEED-IN function into
service until you have read through all the documentation supplied thoroughly.
Solutronic Energy shall accept no liability for damages resulting from non-observance
of the warnings given in this User Manual.
If you sell on, hire out or pass on this device to someone else in some other way,
make sure that you give the new user these safety instructions, too. Trouble-free and
safe operation of the GridManager with FEED-IN function presumes proper,
professional and workmanlike transportation, storage, mounting and installation as
well as careful operation and thorough maintenance.
3.2 Intended use
This device must be used only for the purpose described in this User Manual:
accessory for use in grid-connected photovoltaic installations.
All safety regulations must be complied with. All installation work must be carried out
precisely as described in this manual. No modification of any kind to or in this device
or to its external wiring is permitted. Any such modification could lead to serious
safety problems and danger to life and limb.

4 Prerequisites
The inverters and the GridManager should be connected in one Ethernet using a
dedicated switch for this setup. Using RS485 for regulation is not possible.

Prerequisites
GM_User Manual_A8_EN6/28
The energy provider requires a temporary power reduction of the installation:
The inverters are regulated to produce no more power than the current allowed
amount plus the current consumption.
The connected power is generally limited: The inverters are regulated to produce
no more power than the allowed amount plus the current consumption.
There is no feed in allowed / required: The inverters are regulated to produce no
more power than the current consumption minus a small margin for regulation.
5 Mode of Operation
The GridManager covers the power management of the inverter as a function of local
consumption.
It’s located between the SOLPLUS inverters and appliances; and the power meter.
The typical reaction time for power regulation is 4 Milliseconds.
If e.g. a maximum of 70% of the installed DC power may be fed in but refrigerator,
lights etc. are switched on. The consumption of these is added to the 70% and allows
the inverter to produce more power to compensate for this.

Mode of Operation
GM_User Manual_A8_EN 7/28
6 Installation GridManager 63
Connection
3x 230 Volt, N, PE, 50 Hertz, max. 63 Ampere per Phase
It shall be installed between the meter (reference counter when feed in is zero
or bidirectional meter when grid-feed is limited) and the local distribution for
appliances and PV-inverter
You may install either a GridManager or a PowerReductionCard, installing both
at the same installation will not work.
Connect appliances to the same phase as the inverter, especially if only one
inverter is used.
Installation
AC-voltage measurement and power supply
The grid voltages L1, L2 and L3 and neutral line N are connected to the green
4-pin connector at the bottom side. L3 and N (230 V AC, 50 Hz) are used to
supply the GridManager. Wire cross-section 1,5 mm².
Check for correct phasing
For overall one phase operation connect the one phase used to all 3 pins L1,
L2 and L3 of the 4-pin connector for voltage measurement. This can be
achieved by bridging all 3 pins.
For correct display of the measured voltages connect ground to the GridMan-
ager. This is best done on the shield of the Ethernet connector. However, the
GridManager will regulate fine without ground connected.
AC-current measurement
The power lines have to be separated on terminals and routed from the
bottom-up through the current transformers of the GridManager.
Wire cross-section 16 mm² (max.) for GridManager 63
Check for correct phasing
