5.1 Safety instruction
Danger to life due to fire or explosion
Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.
Do not install the inverter on easily flammable materials and where
flammable materials are stored.
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts
Mount the inverter in such a way that it cannot be touched
inadvertently.
5.2 Selecting the Installation Location
This is guidance for installer to choose a suitable installation
location, to avoid potential damages to device and operators.
1) The wall selected to install the inverter must be strong and firm
enough to support and bear the weight of the inverter for a long
period time. (Refer to Chapter 11 Specifications)
2) The location selected must be suitable for inverters' dimension. (Refer
to 3.3 Dimensions and Fig.5.2 Required Clearances)
3) Do not install the inverter on structures constructed of flammable or
thermo labile materials.
4) Never install the inverter in environment of little or no air flow, nor
dust environment.
5) The Ingress Protection rate is IP65 which means the inverter can be
installed outdoors and indoors.
6) Do not expose the inverter to direct sunlight, in order to avoid the
power and efficiency derating caused by excessive heating.
7) The humidity of the installation location should be 0~95% without
condensation.
8) The ambient temperature of the inverter should be -25 ~+60
9) The installation location must be freely and safely to get at all times.
10) Vertically installation and make sure the connection of inverter must
be downwards. Never install horizontal and avoids forward and
sideways tilt.( Refer to drawings below)

Possible damage to health as a result of the effects of radiation!
In special cases, there may still be interference for the specified application
area despite maintaining standardized emission limit values (e.g. when
sensitive equipment is located at the setup location or when the setup
location is near radio or television receivers).In this case, the operator is
obliged to take proper action to rectify the situation.
Never install the inverter near the sensitive equipment
e.g. Radios,
telephone, television, etc
Do not stay closer than 20 cm to the inverter for any length of time unless it
is absolutely necessary.

All electrical installations shall be done in accordance with the local and
national electrical codes. Do not remove the casing. Inverter contains no
user serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. All
wiring and electrical installation should be conducted by a qualified
service personnel.
Carefully remove the unit from its packaging and inspect for external
damage. If you find any imperfections, please contact your local dealer.
Be sure that the inverters connect to the ground in order to protect
property and personal safety.
The inverter must only be operated with PV generator. Do not connect
any other source to it.
Both AC and DC voltage sources are terminated inside the PV Inverter.
Please disconnect these circuits before servicing.
This unit is designed to feed power to the public power grid (utility) only.
Do not connect this unit to an AC source or generator. Connecting
Inverter to external devices could result in serious damage to your
equipment.
When a photovoltaic panel is exposed to light, it generates a DC voltage.
When connected to this equipment, a photovoltaic panel will charge the
DC link capacitors.
Energy stored in this equipment's DC link capacitors presents a risk of
electric shock. Even after the unit is disconnected from the grid and
photovoltaic panels, high voltages may still exist inside the PV-Inverter.
Do not remove the casing until at least 5 minutes after disconnecting all
power sources.
Although designed to meet all safety requirements, some parts and
surfaces of Inverter are still hot during operation. To reduce the risk of
injury, do not touch the heat sink at the back of the PV-Inverter or nearby
surfaces while Inverter is operating.
