1.1 Safety instructions
Thank you for choosing Shihlin inverters SE3 series. This user manual introduces how to use the product correctly.
Please read the user manual carefully before using the product. In addition, please use the product after understanding
the safety instructions.
Installation, operation, maintenance and inspection must be performed by qualified personnel.
In this instruction, the safety instruction levels are classified into "Warning" and "Caution".
Warning: Incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in death or severe injury.
Caution: Incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in medium or slight injury, or may cause
only material damage.
While the inverter power is ON, do not open the front cover or the wiring cover. Do not run the inverter with the
front cover or the wiring cover removed. Otherwise you may access the exposed high voltage terminals or the
charging part of the circuitry and get an electric shock.
It is crucial to turn off the motor drive power before any wiring installation or inspection is made. Before the inverter
CHARGE light is OFF, which indicates that there is still high voltage in it, please do not touch the internal circuit
and components. Operation must be made after measuring the voltage which is less than 24 VDC between +/P
and-/N and with avometer.
The inverter must be connected to the ground properly.
Do not operate or touch the heat sink or handle the cables with wet hands. Otherwise you may get an electric
shock.
Do not change the cooling fan while power is ON. It is dangerous to change the cooling fan while power is ON.
Voltage applied to each terminal must be the one specified in the user manual; otherwise, failure or damage may
be caused.
Do not operate a voltage-resistant test for the parts inside the inverter because semiconductors in inverter may be
easily damaged due to high-voltage breakdown.
Do not touch the inverter because the temperature of the inverter is very high when it is powered on or right after
disconnecting the power supply; otherwise, burn may occur.
Failure or damage may be caused due to wrong wiring.
Do not reverse the polarities (+, -) by mistake, failure or damage may be caused.
Please install the inverter on nonflammable walls without holes (to avoid contacts with the cooling fin of the
inverter from the back). If the inverter is installed on or close to flammable objects it may cause a fire.
Please disconnect the inverter from power supply in case of failure. Overload current passes through the inverter
continuously may cause a fire.
Do not connect a resistor on DC terminals +/P and -/N directly; otherwise it may cause fire.
