Replacing the surge protection device
The surge protection device has 3 cartridges which are consumable parts. When a
DC side voltage surge occurs, for example because of a thunderstorm in the area,
the SPD cartridge might wear out. The indicator on a worn out cartridge will turn from
green to red and the inverter shall give warning code 1001. A cartridge with a red
condition indicator must be replaced to ensure that surge protection is functioning
correctly. For the correct SPD cartridge type see DC Input data and solar array
requirements on page 113.

2. Remove the front cover. See section Removing and replacing the front cover and
bottom cover on page 51.
3. Check the condition of cartridges. See Layout drawing on page 25. Is the indicator
green or red?
4. Replace cartridges which have a red indicator with new ones of the same type.
5. Replace the front cover. See section Removing and replacing the front cover and
bottom cover on page 51.
