3. SAFETY
3.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
International safety regulations have been strictly observed in the design and
testing of the inverter. Before beginning any work, carefully read all safety
instructions, and always observe them when working on or with the inverter. The
installation must follow all applicable national or local standards and regulations.
Incorrect i
nstallation may cause:
• injury or death to the installer, operator or third party
• damage to the inverter or other attached equipment
3.2 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTIFICATIONS
There are various safety concerns that must be carefully observed before, during,
and after the installation, as well as during future operation and maintenance. The
following are important safety notifications for the installer and any end users of
this product under normal operating conditions.
1. Beware of high PV voltage. Please install an external DC disconnect switch or
breaker and ensure it is in the “o” or “open” position before installing or
working on the inverter. Use a voltmeter to confirm there is no DC voltage
present to avoid electric shock.
2. Beware of high grid voltage. Please ensure the AC switch and/or AC breaker are in
the “o” or “open” position before installing or working on the inverter. Use a
voltmeter to confirm there is no voltage present to avoid electric shock.
3. Beware of high battery current. Please ensure that the battery module breakers
and/or on/o switches are in the “open” or “o” position before installing or
working on the inverter. Use a voltmeter to confirm there is no DC voltage present
to avoid electric shock.
4. Do not open the inverter while it is operating to avoid electric shock and
damage from live voltage and current within the system.
5. Do not make any connections or disconnections (PV, battery, grid, communication, etc.)
while the inverter is operating.
6. An installer should make sure to be well protected by reasonable and
professional insulative equipment [e.g., personal protective equipment (PPE)].
7. Before installing, operating, or maintaining the system, it is important to
inspect all existing wiring to ensure that it meets the appropriate
specifications and conditions for use.
8. Ensure that the PV, battery, and grid connections to the inverter are secure
and proper to prevent damage or injuries caused by improper installation.
