Risk of burns due to hot surfaces
The surfaces of the inverter and the Sunny Multigate 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 ten minutes for the surface to cool sufficiently before performing any work on the
inverter.
• Observe the warning messages on the inverter and the Sunny Multigate.
Damage to the inverter due to moisture and dust intrusion
Dust or moisture intrusion can damage the inverter and impair its functionality.
• Seal all inverter pin connectors with the appropriate plugs or protective caps.
Damage to the Sunny Multigate due to the use of cleaning agents
The use of cleaning agents may cause damage to components of the Sunny Multigate. If the
Sunny Multigate is dirty or dusty, you can clean the enclosure, the ventilation slots, the type label,
and the LEDs with a dry brush.
• Disconnect the Sunny Multigate from all voltage sources (see Section 10, page 50).
• Only clean the Sunny Multigate with a dry brush.
