INFORMATION
The inverter is not intended to be used in living areas
and cannot provide protection of radio reception
against interference signals in such environments. In
accordance with EN55011:2016, the inverter must
only be operated at operation locations where the
distance between the inverter and
radio-communication installations is greater than
30 m and an own power transformer is used.
MAINTENANCE AND MODIFICATION
Only authorized personnel are permitted to repair or
modify the inverter. To ensure personal safety, use only
original spare parts available from the supplier.
INSTALLER
Input and output circuits are isolated from the enclosure.
System grounding is the responsibility of the installer.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
This manual is intended for use by qualified personnel
only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform
any maintenance work other than that specified in the
manual unless you are qualified to do so.
Danger due to ground fault on DC side during
operation
Due to the transform erless topology of the product, the
occurrence of ground faults on DC side during operation
can lead to irreparable damage. Damages to the product
due to a faulty or damaged DC installation are not
covered by warranty. The product is equipped with a
protective device that checks whether a ground fault is
present during the starting sequence. The product is not
protected during operation.
• Ensure that the DC installation is carried out correctly
and no ground fault occurs during operation.

Risk of burns due to electric arcs
Short-circuit currents in the battery can cause heat build-up
and electric arcs.
• Disconnect the battery from all voltages sources prior
to performing any work on the battery.
• Observe safety information of the battery
manufacturer when working on the battery or
inverter.
The inverter is not equipped with a transformer and is
intended to be installed with an ungrounded battery (with
floating potentials).
Input and output circuits are isolated from the enclosure.
System grounding is the responsibility of the installer.
All persons responsible for the installation and
maintenance of inverters must be:
• Trained and authorized in general safety rules for
work on electric equipment.
• Familiar with local requirements, rules and
regulations for the installation.
The inverter does not provide overcurrent protection.
This must be provided by the installer. See Table 5.8
The temperature of the cooling elements and components
in the inverter can exceed 70°C. There is a risk of burns.
The inverter is to be installed in such way that hot
components cannot be touched.
