4.1 ILUMEN PID CONTROL BOX
The Ilumen PID Control Box is connected with all the Ilumen PID Boxes in series When the
Ilumen PID Control Box is actively curing, the Ilumen sign is lit up. The curative periods of the
solution will depend on the extend of the PID problem. When no PID is present in the installation
the Ilumen PID Control Box will retain from curing. . Through GPRS communication the Ilumen
PID Solutionis switched on or off automatically. Through the my.ilumen.be portal you can check
if the Ilumen PID Control Box is operating correctly.You must mail the installations geographic
location to info@ilumen.be together with the Ilumen PID Control Box serial number to get your
login details and activation. The Ilumen PID Control Box may never be moved to another
geographic location before approval of Ilumen.

4.2 ILUMEN PID BOX
The Ilumen PID Box is placed between the inverter and the solar array strings. The power of the
strings goes through the PID Box, entering on one side and leaving on the other.One Ilumen PID
Box can only be used for one MPP tracker. If you use multiple Ilumen PID Boxes you must couple
them together in series with the 4-pole connectors. Always terminate the last Ilumen PID Box 4pole connector in a non-conductive and weather resistant manner. The number of working
Ilumen PID Boxes can optionally be monitored through the Ilumen portal.
Attention:
If you work with inverters with multiple MPPT’s you cannot mix the PV arrays from
multiple MPPT’s.
Attention:
The maximum current that can pass through the Ilumen PID Box is 34A. Make sure this is
never exceeded.
Attention:
Make sure the PV arrays are connected to the “in” side of the Ilumen PID Box Mini, NEVER
to the “out”side.

6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
When installing the Ilumen PID Solution, the AC side of the PV plant must be switched off. Also
the DC switch of the inverter must be switched off. After the installation is done, you can switch
the DC switch back on followed by the AC side of the PV plant.
A standard EU outlet must be available on installation. This outlet should be on at all times. The
ideal solution is to have a single outlet with a single circuit breaker of 16A.
6.1 AC CONNECTION
To power the Ilumen PID Solution you must connect the Ilumen PID Control Box to the AC grid
with the supplied power cord. Make sure the switch of the Ilumen PID Control Box is off before
connecting both sides of the cord. Don’t switch on the device until commissioning.
6.2 EARTH CONNECTION
To receive the best result the frames of the solar modules must be connected to the earth
connector of the Ilumen PID Control Box. For optimal result you must lay a solar cable (6mm2)
to the mounting structure of the solar modules (make sure mounting structures and frames of
the solar modules are electrically conducting). It is important that all frames of all solar modules
8
Ilumen
are at the earth potential, if necessary you have to interconnect the mounting structures with
additional cables.
6.3 ILUMEN PID CONTROL BOX TO ILUMEN PID BOX CONNECTION
To connect the Ilumen PID Control Box to the first Ilumen PID Box the cables with 4pole
connectors are used. You can use an extension cable (max 50m) in between made out of a four
wire cable of 4x1.5mm² and a!!!!!!!!!!!!!! female connector on one side and male connector on the
other side. The cable must be approved for outside use. Make sure the connectors are connected
correctly and screwed together tightly.

6.4 SOLAR ARRAY AND INVERTER (MPPT) TO ILUMEN PID BOX CONNECTIONS
When installing the Ilumen PID Solution between the PV array and inverter always switch off the
DC switch of the inverter.
TheIlumen PID Box side marked with “+” and “–“ will be connected to the inverter, the side
marked with “PV+” and “PV-“ will be connected to the solar arrays. If all connectors are installed
properly you can start connecting the PV arrays.
Always connect the PV arrays to the Ilumen PID Solution first; On the Ilumen PID BOX the “PV+”
cables should be connected to the positive side of all strings and the “PV-“ cables should be
connected to the negative side of all strings. Next connect the inverter. Connect the “+” cables of
the Ilumen PID Box to the positive input of the inverter (both cables MUST connect to the same
MPPT input). Connect the “-“ cables of the Ilumen PID Box to the negative input of the inverter
(both cables MUST connect to the same MPPT input).
All unused DC inputs and outputs have to be terminated with a corresponding sealing plug.

Ilumen
Attention:
If you work with inverters with multiple MPPT’s, you cannot mix the PV arrays from
multiple MPPT’s. Standard rule throughout the installation is one Ilumen PID Box for each
MPPT.
Attention:
The maximum current that can passthrough the Ilumen PID Box is 34A. Make sure this is
never exceeded.
Attention:
Make sure the PV arrays are connected to the “PV+” and “PV-“ cables of the Ilumen PID
Box, NEVER to the “+” or “-“ cables.
6.5 ILUMEN PID BOX SERIES CONNECTION
Connect the 4-pole male connector of the first Ilumen PID Box to the 4-pole female connector of
the Ilumen PID Control Box. Following you can connect up to 100 Ilumen PID Boxes in total in a
series chain by mating each 4-pole female connector from the last chained to the 4-pole male
connector of the one your adding. The end of the chain must be sealed by you in a nonconductive and weather resistant manner (e.g. by a terminator plug). Make sure the connections
are screwed properly and tightly to insure the connection and the weather resistance.
