To comply with European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment and its implementation as national law, electrical
equipment that has reached the end of its life must be collected separ-
ately and returned to an approved recycling facility. Any device that you
no longer require must be returned to your distributor or disposed of at
an approved collection and recycling facility in your area. Ignoring this
European Directive may have potentially adverse effects on the environ-
ment and your health!
Text of the warning notices:
WARNING!
An electric shock can be fatal. Before opening the device, it must be disconnec-
ted at the input and output. Wait for the capacitors to discharge (the discharge
time is indicated on the device).
Symbols on the rating plate:
CE mark – confirms compliance with applicable EU directives and
regulations.
UKCA mark – confirms compliance with applicable UK directives and
regulations.
WEEE mark – waste electrical and electronic equipment must be
collected separately and recycled in an environmentally sound manner
in accordance with the European Directive and national law.
RCM mark – tested in accordance with the requirements of Australia
and New Zealand.
ICASA mark – tested in accordance with the requirements of the
Independent Communications Authority of South Africa.
CMIM mark – tested in accordance with IMANOR requirements for
import regulations and compliance with Moroccan standards.
AFCI - Arc Fault
Circuit Inter-
rupter (Arc
Guard)
AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) protects against arcing faults and in the nar-
rower sense is a protection device against contact faults. The AFCI evaluates any
DC-side faults that occur in the current and voltage curve with an electronic cir-
cuit and switches off the circuit when a contact fault is detected. This prevents
overheating on poor contacts and ideally possible fires.
CAUTION!
Danger due to incorrect or unprofessional DC installation.
The result is risk of damage and in turn, risk of fire to the PV system due to inad-
missible thermal loads that arise with an arc.
▶
Check plug connections are in good condition.
▶
Repair incorrect insulation as appropriate.
▶
Complete connections as per the specifications.
IMPORTANT!
Fronius will not accept any costs associated with production downtimes, installer
costs, etc., that may arise as the result of a detected arc and its consequences.
Fronius accepts no liability for damage that can occur despite the presence of
the integrated Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter/extinguishing system ( e.g. caused by
a parallel arc).
