13 Decommissioning the Inverter
To decommission the inverter completely upon completion of its service life, proceed as described
in this Section. If the inverter is defective and you have received a replacement device, observe the
information on how to proceed when receiving a replacement device (see Section12 "Procedure
for Receiving a Replacement Device", page79).
CAUTION
Risk of injury when lifting the inverter, or if it is dropped
The inverter weighs 61kg. There is risk of injury if the inverter is lifted incorrectly or dropped
while being transported or when attaching it to or removing it from the wall mounting bracket.
• Transport the inverter always as described below.
Procedure:
1.
DANGER
Danger to life due to high voltages
• Disconnect the inverter from all voltage sources (see Section11, page76).
2. Remove the AC cable from the inverter. Press the locking levers all the way upward and pull
the conductors out of the terminal block for the AC cable.
3. Press down the locking levers of the terminal block for the AC cable.
4. If the multi-function relay or the SMAPowerControlModule are used, remove the connection
cable from the inverter.
5. If other cables (e.g. data cables or network cables) are connected, remove them from the
inverter.
6. Insert the lower enclosure lid from above and flip it
down. The screws must protrude from the lower
enclosure lid.
7. Tighten all six screws with an Allen key (AF3) in the
order 1 to 6 (torque: 2.0Nm ± 0.3Nm). By
tightening the screws in the prescribed order, you
avoid warping the lid, which would keep it from
sealing correctly. Tip: If the screws fall out of the
lower enclosure lid, insert the long screw into the
lower middle hole and the five short screws into the
other holes.
