5.14 Dry Contact Connection
5.14.1 Dry Contact Function
The configuration circuit board is provided with fault output dry contact and emergency stop dry contact, as shown in the figure below.

DO terminal (fault output dry contact)
The relay can be set to output fault alarms, and user can configure it to be a normally open contact (COM&NO) or a normally closed contact (COM&NC).
The relay is initially at the NC terminal, and it will trip to another contact when a fault occurs. When alarm occurs, signal status change will not be triggered.
Use LED indicators or other equipment to indicate whether the inverter is in the faulty state. The following Figures show the typical applications of normally open contact and normally closed contact:

figure 5-8 Normal open contact

figure 5-9 Normal close contact
Devices connected to the relay should comply with related requirements:
AC-Side Requirements DC-Side Requirements
| Max. voltage: 230 Vac | Max. voltage: 24 Vdc |
| Max. current: 3 A | Max. current: 3 A |
DI terminal (emergency stop dry contact)
The dry contact can be configured to be an emergency stop contact.
When the DI contact and PGND contact are shorted by external controlled switch (The external switch can be configured as normally open contact or normally closed contact), the inverter will immediately shutdown.
NS Protection
NS Protection is used for German market currently. For a plant with an installed power over 30kW, an external NS Protection Relay is connected to inverters that are connected to each other with NS Protection terminals. When the grid runs abnormally, the status of the relay's dry contact changes, and the inverters are emergently shut down.
NS Protection(including Passive Valid) can be set. When NS Protection is enabled on the iSolarCloud, the inverters will operate normally when DI contact and PGND contact are shorted by external controlled switch, and the inverters will emergently stop when DI contact and PGND contact are disconnected.

The dry contacts only support passive switch signal input.
The following figure shows the typical application of local stop dry contact.
