Danger to life due to fre or explosion
In rare cases, an explosive gas mixture can be
generated inside the inverter under fault conditions. In
this state, switching operations can cause a fre inside
the inverter or explosion. Death or lethal injuries due
to hot or fying debris can result.
• In the event of a fault, do not perform any direct
actions on the inverter.
• Ensure that unauthorized persons have no access
to the inverter.
• Do not operate the DC load-break switch on the
inverter.
• Disconnect the PV array from the inverter via an
external disconnection device. If there is no
disconnecting device present, wait until no more
DC power is applied to the inverter.
• Disconnect the AC circuit breaker, or keep it
disconnected in case it has already tripped, and
secure it against reconnection.
• Only perform work on the inverter (e.g.
troubleshooting, repair work) when wearing
personal protective equipment for handling of
hazardous substances (e.g. safety gloves, eye
and face protection, respiratory protection).
Risk of injury due to toxic substances, gases
and dusts.
In rare cases, damages to electronic components
can result in the formation of toxic substances,
gases or dusts inside the inverter. Touching toxic
substances and inhaling toxic gases and dusts can
cause skin irritation, burns or poisoning, trouble
breathing and nausea.
• Only perform work on the inverter (e.g.
troubleshooting, repair work) when wearing
personal protective equipment for handling of
hazardous substances (e.g. safety gloves, eye
and face protection, respiratory protection).
• Ensure that unauthorized persons have no
access to the inverter.
Installation Guide
Danger to life due to electric shock from
destruction of the measuring device due to
overvoltage
Overvoltage can damage a measuring device and
result in voltage being present in the enclosure of
the measuring device. Touching the live enclosure
of the measuring device results in death or lethal
injuries due to electric shock.
• Only use measuring devices with a
measurement ranges designed for the
maximum AC and DC voltage of the inverter.
Risk of burns due to hot components
Some components (e.g. heat sink) inside the
inverter can become hot during operation.
Touching hot components can cause burns.
• The inverter is to be installed in such a way that
hot components cannot be touched.
• After opening the product, wait until the
components have cooled down.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment
for all work on the product.
Damage to the inverter due to electrostatic
discharge
Touching electronic components can cause
damage to or destroy the inverter through
electrostatic discharge.
• Ground yourself before touching any
component.
