2.2 Safety Precautions
Danger to life from electric shock due to high voltages in the inverter
High voltages that can cause fatal electric shocks are present in the live components of the inverter.
• Do not open the inverter.
• All work on the inverter (e.g. repairs, modifications) may only be carried out by a qualified
person.
Danger to life from electric shock due to damaged devices
Operating a damaged inverter can lead to hazardous situations that result in death or serious
injuries due to electric shock.
• Only operate the inverter if it is in safe and full working order.
• Check the inverter regularly for visible damage.
• Only operate the inverter if there is no visible damage.
Risk of burns from hot surfaces
The surface of the inverter can become very hot. Touching the surface can lead to burns.
• During operation, only touch the lower enclosure lid and do not place any objects on the
enclosure. Placing objects on the enclosure can lead to power reductions due to overheating
and therefore to yield losses.
• Observe the safety messages on the inverter.
Inverter damage
Overvoltage can destroy the inverter.
• If the display message DC overvoltage - Disconnect generator is shown, inform your
installer IMMEDIATELY.
