1. Dismantle the inverter (see Section 13.1 "Dismantling the Inverter", page 90).
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 six 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 AG.
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 23) and connect it (see Section 6 "Electrical Connection", page 27).
13.3 Packing the Inverter
• If the original packaging is available, the inverter should be packed in its original packaging
and secured with tension straps.
• If the original packaging is not available, use a cardboard box suitable for the weight and size
of the inverter.
13.4 Storing the Inverter
Store the inverter in a dry place where the ambient temperature is always between − 25°C and +60°C.
13.5 Disposing of the Inverter
At the end of its service life, dispose of the inverter according to the current locally applicable disposal
regulations for electronic waste. Alternatively, send it back to SMA Solar Technology AG with shipping
paid by sender and labelled "ZUR ENTSORGUNG" ("FOR DISPOSAL") (contact see page 111).
