12 Decommissioning
12. Decommissioning
DANGER
Risk of death by electrocution
Potentially fatal voltage is applied to the inverter
during operation. This potentially fatal voltage is
still present for some time after all power sources
have been disconnected.
► Never open the inverter.
► Always disconnect the inverter from power
before installation, open the AC/DC Discon-
nection switch and make sure neither can be
accidentally reconnected.
► Wait 30 seconds until the capacitors have
discharged.
DANGER
Risk of death or serious injury from electro-
cution
Potentially fatal voltage may be applied to the
DC connections of the inverter. When light is fall-
ing on solar modules, they immediately start pro-
ducing energy. They do so, even when the sun is
not shining directly onto the solar modules.
► Never disconnect the solar modules when the
inverter is powered.
► First switch off the grid connection so that the
inverter cannot feed energy into the grid.
► Turn the AC/DC Disconnection switch to
position OFF.
► Make sure the DC connections cannot be
accidentally touched.
WARNING
Heavy weight
The inverter is heavy.
► The inverter must be lifted and carried by at
least two people or with an appropriate lifting
equipment.
To put the inverter out of operation, e.g. for maintenance or to
send it for repair, follow the instructions below:
1. Turn the AC/DC Disconnection switch to position OFF.
2. Disconnect the inverter from the solar modules (DC).
3. Disconnect the inverter from the grid (AC).
4. Use a voltmeter to conrm that the AC and DC power con-
nections are de-energized.
5. Pull out the AC plug.
6. Pull out the DC plugs.
7. If installed, disconnect the cables from the communication
port.
8. If installed, disconnect the grounding cable from the inverter
housing.
