1. Dismantle the inverter (see Section 13.1 "Dismantling the Inverter", page 92).
2. Release all the screws on the upper enclosure lid
and remove it by pulling it towards you.
3. Do the same with the transport lid of the
replacement device.
4. Pre-screw the transport lid of the replacement
device with the 6 enclosure lid screws and
corresponding conical spring washers to your
original inverter and then screw down tight in the
sequence shown on the right (torque: 6.0 Nm).
The toothing of the conical spring washers must
point towards the enclosure lid. This ensures proper
earthing of the enclosure lid.
The scope of delivery of the inverter includes a
spare screw and conical spring washer.
5. Screw the lower enclosure lid down tight.
☑ The original inverter is now ready for return shipment to SMA Solar Technology.
6. Now mount the upper enclosure lid from the original inverter onto the replacement device in the
same manner.
7. Mount the replacement device (see Section 5.3 "Mounting the Inverter with Rear Panel",
page 22) and connect it (see Section 6 "Electrical Connection", page 27).
Danger to life due to high voltages in the inverter
Death from electric shock
After disconnecting the inverter, there is residual voltage in the inverter. The inverter takes 20 minutes
to discharge.
• Wait 20 minutes before you open the upper enclosure lid or the DC lid.
