Risk of injury when lifting the inverter, or if it is dropped
The inverter is heavy (see Section 11 "Technical Data", page 53). There is risk of injury if the
inverter is lifted incorrectly or dropped while being transported or when attaching it to or
removing it from the wall mounting bracket.
• Carry and lift the inverter upright with the help
of several people. Use both hands to grasp the
recessed grips at the top and bottom, or use a
steel rod (diameter: 30 mm at maximum). This
will prevent the inverter tipping forward.
Damage to the ESS pin connector from dirt and foreign bodies
In single-phase and three-phase inverters, the integrated differential current sensor detects the
current difference between the neutral conductor and the line conductor(s). This will impair the
function of the ESS.
• Always set the inverter down on a level support surface or lay it on its back.
Procedure:
1. Ensure that there are no cables laid in the wall which could be damaged when drilling holes.
2. Align the wall mounting bracket horizontally on the wall and use it to mark the position of the
drill holes. Use at least one hole on the right-hand and left-hand side in the wall mounting
bracket.
3. Set the wall mounting bracket aside and drill the marked holes.
4. Insert screw anchors into the drill holes if necessary.
5. Secure the wall mounting bracket horizontally using screws and washers.
6. If the inverter is to be secured against theft, mark the drill hole for the attachment of the safety
screw:
• Hook the inverter into the wall mounting bracket.
• Mark the drill hole on the left-hand or right-
hand side. If you want to secure the inverter
with two safety screws, mark one drill hole
on the left-hand side and one on the right-
hand side.
