6.1 Commissioning the Inverter
1. Check the following requirements before commissioning:
– The inverter is firmly fastened.
– Correct connection of the AC cable (grid)
– Full connection of the DC cables (PV strings)
– DC inputs that are not needed are closed with the corresponding DC plug connectors and
sealing plugs.
– The enclosure lid is securely screwed in place
– The Electronic Solar Switch (ESS) is securely plugged
– The line circuit breaker is laid out correctly
2. Switch on the line circuit breaker.

Self test in accordance with DK 5940, Ed. 2.2 for initial commissioning
(applies to Italy only)
The Italian DK 5940 standard requires that an inverter can first operate on the power
distribution grid when the disconnection times for overvoltage, undervoltage, minimum
frequency and maximum frequency have been checked.
Restart the self-test as described in the following section 6.3 ”Self-Test in accordance with
DK 5940, Ed. 2.2 (applies to Italy only)” (page 40). The test takes approx. 8 minutes.
