Connecting the external battery to the Fronius Symo
Hybrid
Components
Fronius Check-
box 500V
The Fronius Checkbox 500V connects the Fronius Symo Hybrid to an external battery. The
inverter and battery must never be directly connected to each other, as an error could lead
to surges that place the system in an unsafe state.
There are separate Installation Instructions for the battery and the Fronius Symo Hybrid.
This document is concerned only with the specifics of establishing a connection to the Fro-
nius Checkbox 500V. The remaining steps for installing the equipment can be found in the
respective Installation Instructions. All Fronius documents are available at the following ad-
dress: www.fronius.com/energy-package-manuals
