WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock from destruction of the measuring device
due to overvoltage
Overvoltage can damage a measuring device and result in voltage being present in the
enclosure of the measuring device. Touching the live enclosure of the measuring device results in
death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
• Only use measuring devices with a DC input voltage range of 1000 V or higher.
NOTICE
Damage to the DC connectors due to the use of contact cleaner of other
cleaning agents
Some contact cleaners or other cleaning agents may contain substances that decompose the
plastic of the DC connectors.
• Do not use contact cleaners or other cleaning agents for cleaning the DC connectors.
NOTICE
Damage to the inverter due to ground fault on DC side during operation
Due to the transformerless topology of the product, the occurance of ground faults on DC side
during operation can lead to irreparable damage. Damages to the product due to a faulty or
damaged DC installation are not covered by warranty. The product is equipped with a protective
device that checks whether a ground fault is present during the starting sequence. The product is
not protected during operation.
• Ensure that the DC installation is carried out correctly and no ground fault occurs during
operation.
Procedure:
1. Ensure that the circuit breaker is switched off and that it cannot be reconnected.
2. If an external DC load-break switch is installed, disconnect the external DC load-break switch
from all voltage sources.
3. Set the DC load-break switch of the inverter to
position
O
.
4. Measure the PV array voltage. Ensure that the maximum input voltage of the inverter is
adhered to and that there is no ground fault in the PV array.
