WARNING

Before starting work on the inverter, switch off AC at the
mains switch and PV using the PV load switch. Before
proceeding wait at least 8 minutes after disconnection
from grid and PV panels, until the inverter has
completely discharged. Failure to switch off AC and PV
and wait for discharge may result in personal injury.

The inverter will only detect the option, when the option is
installed in an unpowered state.

CAUTION

To ensure fulfilment of IP enclosure rating, correctly
mounted cable glands are essential for all peripheral
cables.

CAUTION

To ensure EMC compliance, apply shielded cables for
sensor inputs.
Other auxiliary cables must pass through the designated
EMC cable clamps to establish mechanical fixing and in
case of shielded cable termination to the shielding
device.

CAUTION
