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)
– Unnecessary DC inputs are closed with the corresponding DC 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 prescribes that an inverter can only operate on the power
distribution grid after the disconnection times for overvoltage, undervoltage, minimum
frequency and maximum frequency have been checked.
Start the self-test as described in the section 6.2 ”Self-Test in accordance with DK 5940,
Ed. 2.2 (applies to Italy only)” (page 38). The test takes approx. 8 minutes.
