Symbols on the Inverter
Operation display.
Ground fault or varistor defective. Please inform your installer.
An error has occurred. Please inform your installer immediately.
Tap to switch on the display light and switch to the next message.
Symbols on the Type Label
Beware of dangerous electrical voltage.
The inverter operates at high voltages. All electrical work
on the inverter may be carried out by quali󹻭ed personnel only.
erfolgen.
Beware of hot surface.
The inverter can become hot during operation. Avoid contact during operation.
Observe enclosed documentation.
The inverter must not be disposed of with the household waste.
Further disposal information can be found in the enclosed installation guide.
CE mark. The inverter complies with the requirements of the applicable EC
guidelines.
RAL quality mark for solar products. The inverter complies with the requirements of
the German Institute for Quality Assurance and Labeling.
Direct Current (DC)
Alternating current (AC)
The inverter is protected against penetration by dust particles and water jets from
any angle.
The inverter has a transformer.
AC
Abbreviation for “Alternating Current”.
DC
Abbreviation for "direct current".
Derating
A controlled reduction in performance, usually dependent on component temperatures.
Electronic Solar Switch (ESS)
The Electronic Solar Switch is part of the inverter's DC switch-disconnector. The
Electronic Solar Switch must be securely inserted into the bottom of the inverter and may
only be removed by quali󹻭ed personnel.
MPP (Maximum Power Point)
Operational point of the inverter, dependent on current / voltage of the PV generator. The actual
position of the MPP changes constantly, depending on the level of solar irradiation and the cell
temperature.
PV
Abbreviation for photovoltaics.
Varistor
The varistors protect the electronics in the inverter from atmospherically coupled energy peaks, such as
those that can occur in the event of nearby lightning strikes.
