2 Safety Information
Danger to life from electric shock due to live DC cables at the battery.
The DC cables connected to a battery may be live. Touching the DC conductors or the live
components leads to lethal electric shocks.
• Do not touch non-insulated cable ends.
• Do not touch any live components.
• Have the inverter and the battery mounted, installed and commissioned only by qualified
persons with the appropriate skills.
• Observe all safety information of the battery manufacturer.
• Prior to performing any work on the inverter or the battery, disconnect the inverter from all
voltage sources as described in this document.
• Wait five minutes before working on the inverter.
• If an error occurs, have it rectified by qualified persons only.
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.
Risk of burns from hot surfaces
The surface of the inverter can get very hot. Touching the surface can result in burns.
• Mount the inverter in such a way that it cannot be touched inadvertently.
• Do not touch hot surfaces.
• Wait 30 minutes for the surface to cool sufficiently.
• Observe the safety messages on the inverter.
