Installation Manual
2.2 Safety Instructions
Electric Shock
High voltages that can result in electrical shocks are present in the conductive component parts of the
inverter.
• Disconnect the inverter from voltage sources as described in this manual before performing any
work on it (see section 7.2 "Opening the Inverter" (page 56)).
Burn Hazard
Some parts of the Sunny Island enclosure can become hot during operation.
• Only touch the enclosure lid of the inverter during operation.
Environmental Influences
When closed and with the Electronic Solar Switch attached, the inverter complies with the IP65
degree of protection. The inverter is thus protected against the penetration of dust and water.
The penetration of dust and water can damage the inverter.
• If the Electronic Solar Switch is not attached, the inverter must be protected against dust
and water.
• Securely attach the Electronic Solar Switch again after any work on the inverter.
Electrostatic discharge
Touching electronic components can cause damage to or destroy the inverter through electrostatic
discharge.
• Ground yourself before touching any component parts.
